Problem with portforwarding, help please!

[JamesNL]

Hey, i want to make a server.

I saw [How To] video's on youtube for how to make a server, i did exactly what they said.

But if i start the server::

MTA:BLUE Server for MTA:SA

[16:14:29] ERROR: Error parsing config file

[16:14:29] Server stopped!

Press Q to shut down the server!

My friends checked the mtaserver.conf and it was ok... they said that i need to portforward, and i did it... but i think that i did it wrong because its still the same message if i start the server.

I did it like this:

Application Name: External Port: Internal Port: Protocol: To IP Adress:

|MTA| |22003| |22003| |Both| |192.168.1.103|

Please help me!

How can i portforward it good! HELP!

It is now different, cuz there was a wrong name: serever, and it IS server.

MTA:BLUE Server for MTA:SA

[23:55:00] ERROR: Could not start HTTP server on interface 'my ip, (i dont show)' and port '22003'!

[23:55:00] Server stopped!

And sorry for my bad English, im from Holland.

[Hazey]

Have a look at your server.config file? your mta file where it has ip and everything in it ..?

[JamesNL]

Have a look at your server.config file? your mta file where it has ip and everything in it ..?

I did the IP and everything.. but got a question, what needs to be this:

<!-- This parameter specifies the UDP port on which the server will be accepting incoming player 
     connections; default value: 22003. It is a required parameter. --> 
<serverport>[b]22003[/b]</serverport> 

Just 22003? and

. It is a required parameter

if is set to 1. -->

<!-- This parameter specifies the TCP port on which the server will be accepting incoming http 
         connections. It can be set to the same value as <serverport> 
 
<httpport>[b]22003[/b]</httpport> 

[Hazey]

That should be correct, hmm.. Maybe it's in somewhere else of your 'server' folder.

[JamesNL]

Wait wait, i used by the way Single Port Forwarding.

Maybe do i need to do Port Range Forwarding?

[Hazey]

Maybe try a few diffferent things.. ? im not sure

[JamesNL]

Look at the topic message, its different now!

[taryn]

Where it says:

I Dont show me IP in forum

put it as

What I'm trying to say is, leave the server IP blank.

[JamesNL]

Ok, i try.

[JamesNL]

Well, it looks better now,but its not in the server list.

I checked it, and my friend checked it.

If you cant see it:

[JamesNL]

Fixed,but now an other question, in wich map can i place my Map Editor things.

And how do i need to save it, (like mymap.blabla)?

[Castillo]

What do you mean? if you save a file on Map editor, it auto creates a new directory with the *.map file inside.

[taryn]

The maps automatically get added as resources last time I checked, which was a long time ago, but if you mean adding them to the script - that would depend on the script.

[JamesNL]

Thanks everyone for the help.

I know now how to do it, and im now started with scripting.

[Henno]

It says that all three ports are closed i write openports but it doesnt work

[xdstep]

Go ino your router setting and check if the ports of mta:sa are connected to your if it still doesn't work out I can help u via teamviwer and do it for u
