HLSW Rcon Password Status: Failed

Post by doulos9 »

For some reason I get "Failed" status when I try to use rcon through HLSW, or I click the Get Log buttons. The rcon password is set in my server.cfg and it is correctly entered into HLSW rcon password field.

I have set the logaddress_add in my autoexec.cfg file and I do get the log and chat but cannot exec any rcon commands including chat through HLSW, nor can I exec any SM commands via the dropdown menus. This is the case (and occurred on the first attempt to connect via HLSW) with another admin who has the rcon password.

Any ideas?

This is a Linux unmanaged VDS.

HLSW is flagged with issues. The project has gone cold for some time now.

I experience issues like yourself on a regular basis.

Have you try changing rcon password on the server and re-trying?

Yes, I have tried changing the password. Weird thing is I have a NFO stand alone server and HLSW works fine with that server. Also, it worked with the VDS for the first few days as well.

1) Are you able to access rcon in-game via:

rcon_password "passhere"
rcon say test

(Not sm_rcon)

2) Make sure cfg/banned_ip.cfg is empty

Yes, and it is empty as is banned_ip.cfg.

I wiped it and started over. All is well.
