epsilon Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I want to set up an MTA:VC server, but whenever i try to execute MTAServer, i get this: root@server4501 [~]# exec /home/epsilon/mta/MTAServer -c . MTA Server for MTA:VC 0.2 ERROR: Unable to open existing Banned IP list. Starting clean. ERROR: A ServerName MUST be specified in the configuration file AND be > 0 in length. ERROR: The ServerName, ServerPort and Game MUST be specified in the configuration file. All of these are in the configuration file Link to comment
b0b0 Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Holy sh*t you run your server as root!? That's dangerous...try running it as just "epsilon", don't try it as root. Btw, just a tip from me to you. Try using screen to run your servers. Link to comment
epsilon Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 thanks, but that doesn't really help the problem at hand Link to comment
b0b0 Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Maybe you have a problem with your file permissions? Link to comment

ijsf Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Your configuration file (mtaserver.conf) must either be in the wrong directory, or it is modified/empty. Make sure the configuration file is in the same directory as MTAServer, as well as the banned.lst file (this is not necessary). Then, make sure they are not empty or modified, and all settings are correct. At last, check out the permissions. You must set the read permissions. Link to comment
epsilon Posted October 18, 2003 Author Share Posted October 18, 2003 everything is in the right place, and chmodded to 0777 Link to comment
