Says double extension. Just my 2 cents it may not be worth it but do you have file extensions enabled if you're running on a windows server.
I know that windows hides extensions and yea so it may actually be reading as beserver.cfg.cfg which could be your problem :P
You may not like my 2 cents. But the next person may need it.

What are your BEC.exe start parameters? With ArmA3 you usually have to disable a server check using the --dsc switch. It would look like this:

Code: Select all

BEC.exe --dsc -f config.cfg

You can use a desktop shortcut and add the parameters there, or a batch file, whatever you prefer (you can also start it through a command prompt window in the BEC installation folder - which I would recommend for the first configuration/start, as it gives you a output that you can work with).

Make sure that your BattlEye is running correctly without errors.

Try seeing if you can assign the IP and Port separately. Or if you can just do the IP.

Also check to see if the port is open on the box

This is a good website to test it.

I am using TADST to start the server. Could this be the problem?

Shouldn't be. I don't remember if you can manually open the port of if NFO has to. I would wait until one of the staff members. Probably Kraze responds with more information on that.
Also run the port thing with your arma 3 server closed and not running. That could make it say closed if you don't

BEC support was stopped after the "monetarization" episode from BIS, but the author continued to work on BEC again a short time after that, as the community was encouraging him to continue work. You can (and should) download the latest version from the BEC website:
http://ibattle.org/

This is not an issue of ports, as BEC ties into the running BattlEye process and is running directly on the server running ArmA3 and BE. Please try to verify that you can connect successfully to BE using the command prompt tool BERcon, which I mentioned in your other thread from your home client (it should work, as the name change of the BEServer.cfg to "active" usually indicates a successfully started BE thread). Please post your BEC config.cfg (did you also define a short star-up delay in this config, between 30 - 60 seconds should be OK).

I would highly recommend not to use a 3rd party managing tool to handle a Arma server. This makes troubleshooting a real pain. Please try to run the server by starting the arma3server.exe and the server.cfg and basic.cfg configuration files alone.
