running bec on multiple renamed arma2aoserver.exe

Post by kaboobie »

So I have my servers all set and ready to go. I have one big problem though. I can not get bec to recognize renamed arma2oaserver.exe to enable me to have it run on both servers. I have tried using the ServerExeName = config line but it is just sitting on waiting for server even though the process is right there. Has anyone ever had this problem and maybe have a way to fix it? my config file:

[Bec]
Ip = 127.0.0.1
Port = 2140
Password = *******
BePath = C:\dayzserver\instance2\BattlEye
BeBanFile = C:\dayzserver\instance2\BattlEye\bans.txt
LogDir = instance2
Admins = Admins.xml
Commands = Commands.xml

#[Misc]
Color = 0f
KickLobbyIdlers = 500
Scheduler = Scheduler.xml
ServerExeName = arma2aoserver2.exe

You are using a localhost IP in your BEC config (127.0.0.1). This should be the IP of your Arma server(s).

I have tried changing that to the actual server ip as well. It still does not recognize the renamed process.

Did you also try to define the full path to your renamed .exe? What does the BEC logfile say? Does it work correctly when you use the standard arma2oaserver.exe as name (withouth renaming anything)?

If everything else fails, try to create a sepperate folder for each server instance, this way you can avoid the whole problem of renaming the .exe, plus you don't have to worry about the Arma logfiles ending up in the same folder(s).

the issue I discovered was that I am commenting out the entire [misc] section and had to remove the # that is before it. /facepalm
