Setting up a duplicate test server of my main server broke t

Post by SovietFred »

I downloaded the entire server from my main server and intended to have an exact copy private test server so I can test addons before adding them to the main server. I first tried to just delete everything on the test server and just drag and dropping every file from the main to the test. That ended up breaking the server. Console is full of errors and looks like: http://pastebin.com/TLCZue2X and every gun except for the gravity gun and physics gun are "Print Name". Q and C menu don't work and none of the addons are loaded in. I contacted support and they suggested only adding files that I added myself so I added cfg, addons, lua, and a couple other folders and kept the default files the test server comes with. The server still broke with the same errors and "Print Name" issues. Not sure what's going on? It might be some kind of LUA limit but my main server handles it all just fine.

Are the two different servers running the same OS? Have you confirmed that the files that are giving errors actually exist where they are supposed to?

Support says they're both on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have no idea what any of the errors mean, I tried googling a bunch of them but nothing came up. I'm thinking I'm going to have to just upload every file one by one.

Ok and you did confirm that the files actually exist right?

Well I basically selected everything from the main server, downloaded it to a folder on my desktop. Then I selected folders I knew I had edited and dropped them into the test server's FTP. They are there.

Add me on steam, it might be easier to communicate. http://steamcommunity.com/id/Fredfbar/
