DayZ Epoch Panthera help

[DKilla731]

We purchased a server for running DayZ Epoch Panthera, and are currently getting an error that the server is running an incorrect version.

Our BAT file

"@echo off
start "arma2" /min "Expansion\beta\arma2oaserver.exe" -port=3306 "-config=instance_16_panthera\config.cfg" "-cfg=instance_16_panthera\basic.cfg" "-profiles=instance_16_panthera" -name=instance_16_panthera "-mod=@DayZEpochPanthera_Epoch;@DayZEpochPanthera_Panthera;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;"
"

and two errors coming up in the battleeye rpt log -
"19:37:07 "DISCONNECT: [GaB] DKilla731 (107633222) Object: B 1-1-A:1 ([GaB] DKilla731) REMOTE, _characterID: 0 at loc [5134.36,-3092.28,29.5606]"

We downgraded to windows server 2008 and it seems to be working now, but we're looking for any reccomended server settings to increase performance if there are any mandatory ones.

What instructions did you use, and did you put the database on the same server as the database?

Trying to setup a server, but I used an external database and seems to give a lot of errors in the rpt.

Gonna try installing a local database.
