Stumped On COD4 server

[femme]

I have been running servers for 12 years now with many different games and mods. I had COD4 ROTU zombies mod up just a couple months ago and rented a server to add it again and it wont start. Finally found a link for a fresh copy today and it still wont start. I should have been able to change the ip address and play so Im stumped as to what it could be, any help would be appreciated.

Is the server not starting, or is it starting but you cannot connect to it? Are there any error messages?

Same config as before?

The most common mistake with CoD4 servers is not loading a map after setting the map cycle, IIRC.

@Timex -no the server is not starting. I even tried to change the folder name and I found a clean copy of the mod and still wont start. I then went to zombie option B the BTD Alpha Zombie mod which Ive had up before and it would start but not with the mod.

@Edge100x-same config, I should have been able to plug and play like ive done so many times before. I went back and made sure pb folder was named pbx because that will conflict with cod4 zombie mods. I even went over all the maps to make sure none were blacklisted from the mod.

The log files may have some additional clues, otherwise I'm not sure what would be wrong with it without being able to see it. It may be worth posting on the sites for these mods to see if people more familiar with them may know what is happening.

This is all I have in the console logs, I have no idea what im looking for :S

The main thing that stands out is that it cannot find the one and only map set in the rotation:

Error: Can't find map "mp_fnrp_bridge".

@Timex , thank you! I didnt realize I hadnt uploaded that map to the server. Changed the map and all good.

I still dont understand why I couldnt use the copy I had before but im up and running so thank you again.
