Admin Login?

[Guest]

How do you login as an admin?

(I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask ,I though the help forum was more for technical support)

[driver2]

If you are on a server and have rcon admin access, type 'rcon_login yourpw' in the console (F8) while you got the correct nick. Type 'help' in the console for all commands.

If you mean remote admin, you need to a remote admin client. The mta server provides such client (in the server directory), another one would be MTAma for mIRC.

Hey im having a problem i cant login in the console F8 and i cant login to the remote admin either, it sez "Disconnected: Connection Timed Out", plz help if you can, thank you

[So'lide]

Is the server on?

No: Turn it on.

Yes: Check that you have

AdminServer 1

in your mtaserver.conf (wich is located at server\mods\race).

[Nerveless]

Moved to MTA:SA Server problems.

To log in from the game, make sure you have 'Admin ' set up properly in the .conf file, and log in using the same name and password (rcon_login ).

For logging in with the admin client, put your local IP in the IP field (or the same one you use to connect to your server in quick connect), and make sure that the port isn't the server port, but the AdminPort specified in the .conf file (default AdminPort 44003).

[Nerveless]

Everything looks correct but it just isn't workin, when i type the correct password in the console, it just says "Failed to login to admin"

[Nerveless]

Can anyone help????? Please

[Nerveless]

All i want to do is login to my admin on my server

[Jani]

Remote admin is different to Rcon.

[Nerveless]

I'm not sure why this got moved to the SA section, he has not stated it is that version he is trying to connect to, and judging from his comments he doesn't mean the same thing as we do by 'console'.

So, what game is your server for Nerveless? It is important as each version has different features and procedures to follow.

[Nerveless]

Im sorry for not stating that, i do appologise, but the game im strugling with is San Andreas

[Nerveless]

Let me re-state my problem, I cant login to my Remote Admin as it says "Disconnected: Connection Timed Out" and a also can not login in play, through F8, in the game it says "Failed to login"

Ok then it is simple, there are two forms of server control, ingame (rcon) and outgame (admin). Both have seperate entries in the servers config file.

Admin: requires a unique port (not being used by anythign else, server included) and a password to be set in the config. Requires either the Admin tool that comes with mta, or the mIRC script MTAmA to enable you to connect to and control the server without being ingame.

rcon: required one or more usernames (these will be allowed access to rcon from within the game) and a password (can be different to admin password) to be set in the server config. Requires the user to be ingame in that server, ` key drops down the console. rcon_login password (with password being the password you set for rcon in the config) to login. rcon help for further commands

Note that as well as entering the specifics as explained above you will need to ensure both Admin and rcon are enabled (set to 1) in the config. I'm unsure if they both are by default as obviously my config is already edited.

Try using different passwords for server, admin and rcon. (by the way, you have server pass commented out so you didnt need to edit that one)

[Nerveless]

Tried, failed, thank you for helping though

[Nerveless]

Do you login with user name as well or just password

[Si|ent]

your username is your player name. (rcon)

p.s. do edit, don't double post.

[Nerveless]

ok, i just dont know the problem, everything seems to be ok in the config but it just doesn't work, ive even been kicked out for trying and failing too many times....ok if you cant help ill thank you anyway

[Leviathan]

note that there's a space in your password, maybe that's the problem. try another password...

[Si|ent]

I don't see a space in it.

[Nerveless]

I dont, a really dont know what the problem is
