DayZ Server Not Working

[DiddlyDoDah]

When I start the server, it looks like it starts fine.
 

 
But when I look on DayZ Commander, I cannot see my server.
 
So I looked into my DayZ RPT Log and I see this:

 9:32:37 Warning Message: No challenge value was received from the master server.

I have no idea what these mean.
 
Here is my Server Config:

Code: Select all

hostName = "VGNetwork DayZ Epoch - [Active Admins|AI Missions|Extra Vehicles|Self Blood|300+ Vehicles|SafeZones|Extra Loot Buildings|Auto refuel & Repair|Side Chat] (1.0.5.1/112555) [VeteranCH:ON][GMT-5] - VGNetwork";
password = "";
passwordAdmin = "G11K94xBa70";
maxPlayers = 50;
logFile = "server_log.txt";
voteThreshold = 2;
voteMissionPlayers = 3;
reportingIP = "arma2oapc.master.gamespy.com";
timeStampFormat = "short";
motd[] = {"Welcome to VGNetwork's DayZ Epoch Server!","Be sure to read and follow the rule.","Have Fun!"};
motdInterval = 0;
vonCodecQuality = 11;
disableVoN = 0;
kickduplicate = 1;
verifySignatures = 2;
persistent = 1;
BattlEye = 1;
doubleIdDetected = "";
onUserConnected = "";
onUserDisconnected = "";
onUnsignedData = "kick (_this select 0)";
onHackedData = 	"kick (_this select 0)";
onDifferentData = "";
regularCheck = "";
requiredBuild = 103718;
requiredSecureId = 2;

class Missions
{
    class Mission1
    {
    	template = "DayZ_Epoch_11.Chernarus";
    	difficulty="veteran";
    };

};

However when I do double click on my server in DayZ Commander, the server just says "Waiting for Host".
 
If anymore information is needed please tell me and I will add it.
 
Thanks!

I am not really familiar with the DayZ commander protocols, but here are a few observations from the provided info.

First: Your server files are outdated. After the switch to version 1.63 and the Steam only integration, the beta versions are basically obsolete (though they may still exists, but those require Steam beta subscriptions for OA).

Second: In your server.cfg you are defining

Code: Select all

reportingIP = "arma2oapc.master.gamespy.com";

which is also not used anymore after Gamespy shut down. You should remove the line, or comment it out.

You are also forcing a specific version build (

Code: Select all

requiredBuild = 103718;

), which does not match your gameversion and is also obsolete (in general, I would not recommend to use a requiredBuild parameter at all, unless you have a very specific reason to use that particular build). You can also either remove, or comment out this line.

You need to define a Steam port and Steam Query port in your server's config. Make it look like this:

Code: Select all

hostName = "VGNetwork DayZ Epoch - [Active Admins|AI Missions|Extra Vehicles|Self Blood|300+ Vehicles|SafeZones|Extra Loot Buildings|Auto refuel & Repair|Side Chat] (1.0.5.1/112555) [VeteranCH:ON][GMT-5] - VGNetwork";
password = "";
passwordAdmin = "G11K94xBa70";
maxPlayers = 50;
logFile = "server_log.txt";
voteThreshold = 2;
voteMissionPlayers = 3;
reportingIP = "arma2oapc.master.gamespy.com";
steamport =2304;  //default is +2 of the server port
steamqueryport  =2303; //default is +1 of the server port
timeStampFormat = "short";
motd[] = {"Welcome to VGNetwork's DayZ Epoch Server!","Be sure to read and follow the rule.","Have Fun!"};
motdInterval = 0;
vonCodecQuality = 11;
disableVoN = 0;
kickduplicate = 1;
verifySignatures = 2;
persistent = 1;
BattlEye = 1;
doubleIdDetected = "";
onUserConnected = "";
onUserDisconnected = "";
onUnsignedData = "kick (_this select 0)";
onHackedData =    "kick (_this select 0)";
onDifferentData = "";
regularCheck = "";
requiredBuild = 125548;
requiredSecureId = 2;

class Missions
{
    class Mission1
    {
       template = "DayZ_Epoch_11.Chernarus";
       difficulty="veteran";
    };

};

The gamespy thing doesn't matter. As long as it can talk to Steam then it's all good. Once you make the changes and restart the server it may take up to an hour for the Steam server browser list to include your server. Once it does then you can check DayZ Commander again. If you continue to have issues with Commander, try out DayZ Launcher. It is also free and works quite well.

Also, as a side note, make sure you keep your Arma version at 125548. 125555 has a ton of bugs and doesn't work well with many mods. In the Steam Library under Arma 2 OA make sure that you opt out of any betas and that will put you on the stable version 125548.
