Hello everybody! I've gotten a server through OG servers running and working just fine, and I've even opted for their "FastDL" which is a glorified external HTTP webserver for downloading resources. Thing is, I've copied the contents of my http-client-files properly over to the external server, and have (to my knowledge) setup the mtaserver.conf properly, but whenever players connect, after they finish their download, it forces them to immediately reconnect and spews off messages similar to this in the chat, usually twice at once: "[e]Shreddy: External HTTP server file mismatch (votemanager) votemanager_client.lua" I've also noticed upon reconnecting, my console getting absolutely spammed with the same message, just locally (in my console), and it applies to almost -every- resource.
The actual resource giving off these errors vary, and I know it's all downloading properly for them.. Works really fast, actually! But after that error gets output into the actual server CHAT (coming from their name, and immediately after finishing the downloading), players sometimes get timed out and/or the resource in question doesn't seem to work. I've tried using the in-house, built-in HTTP web server to host the resource downloading, but that seems to be FAR too slow than what most players would like. Which is a bit weird, because I've owned another server from the same host in the past, used that method, and it wasn't nearly as slow as it is now. I've also contacted my host about these issues, and haven't gotten -any- responses.
I've gotten a hold of the #mta.scripting channel on the gtanet IRC network, and a couple of users suggested the problem could be corruption somewhere along the way in the file-transfer process, in which I've investigated/compared numerous local and http-client-files to each other, and everything checked out just fine. Example:
Here's a paste of my mtaserver.conf, just to double-check if any settings may be off, even a little bit. I've experimented with many different combinations of these settings, and am currently pulling my hair out, trying to figure it out!
