Issue with server setup.

Giacobbe · Jan 25, 2018

Trying to start a server for me and friends to play on. I port forwarded 9600 both TCP and UDP, and 8081 as TCP&UDP.

When I use the AC server manager, I click the update content and it says it's unable to update all the content. When I click start server, the batch file doesn't really start, I can see it pop up on my taskbar then go away.

This is the only thing in my log file.

Code:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference [signal 0xc0000005 code=0x0 addr=0x8 pc=0x5ceeb0]

goroutine 1 [running]: main.NextSession() i:/Manu/Documents/kunosprivate/go/src/acServer/ac_server.go:976 +0x170 main.main() i:/Manu/Documents/kunosprivate/go/src/acServer/ac_server.go:311 +0x7f8

Port 8081 must be a http port http://prntscr.com/i5dh4z and i only start my server with the ac server manager

You need two different ports udp and tcp, change one to 9601.
Example;
9600 udp
9601 tcp

Your 8081 is correct, as having both protocols on same port yields a http port.

Different TCP/UDP isn't needed!
HTTP = TCP+UDP, as many firewalls can't open separate HTTP-Ports.

The error however isn't something I've ever seen, I'm sorry.
The updating should work though! Probably if updating works, the server will work too.

Did you try to validate your game files? Do you have any unusual mods installed (only cars or tracks)? There might be something corrupted.
Otherwise try to save the config in the server manager and then run the acserver.exe or bat manually and report back what kind of error you get then

Tried running just the bat file, same error in log :/

No mods installed, so I'll validate and hopefully that'll fix it..

Validated files and the batch file opened!

This is what I got for a session log after a few minutes, everything looking good? It just says starting AC server in the cmd.

Looking good! Checksums, no errors, connected to lobby.
You might want to check if you can see your server (ports opened correctly) and what the message is about telling you that your entry list has too many cars for the track you chose

You're the man! Thanks for the help!

I had the same cmd as you, but I still cant find the server... did you do anything else?

Spyroof · Feb 1, 2020

I can see my server in the server list, friends can too, but it won't show me any available cars. If I change to LAN SESSION, I can find my server too, but there with options to select an available car and join the server succesfully.

Giacobbe said:
RESPONSE: OK,6087935,8081

The only difference I see with the log message here is that I have the first set of numbers set to 0? (after response: OK)
While the user above has a number like: 6087935

This is how i set my ports up now: (''beide'' means ''both'' (TCP and UDP)

What am I doing wrong?
