Help: Long time ETPro devotee, but Server n00b

The Birdman · Post by **The Birdman** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 7:36 am

It tries to connect to the redirect, the ftp info shows but it doesn't connect and instead reverts to the server download.

Just tried again and same result.

Thank you for the effort. Guess it's back to the drawing board.

If anyone has any advice, I would be appreciative.

Would the way ET requests the download be considered FXP? I'm using Filezilla which has a type of FXP prevention by default. I just unchecked that "feature". Perhaps that was it?

The username and IP have been hidden. Here is the log from the failed transfer:

ET 2.60/2.60b uses libcurl to download files. If your FTP server is disallowing libcurl, there's probably something wrong with it.

Yamabushi · Post by **Yamabushi** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 6:47 pm

Well, I am using Filezilla FTP Server? To the best of my knowledge that supports cURL.

I am able to successfully connect and download from the server from a Firefox browser while outside of my LAN. The problem seems to be some kind of failed interaction between ET and Filezilla, but I don't know what to check next.

Any advice?

OK, I've ditched FTP and am now using http via Apache. Could someone please try again?

Also, what do I need to do to show up in server browsers?

+set dedicated 2

and add some et master servers to server.cfg

Code: Select all

// MASTER SERVERS TO REPORT TO 
set sv_master1 "etmaster.idsoftware.com" 
set sv_master2 "master.gamespy.com&#58;27900" 
set sv_master3 "master0.gamespy.com" 
set sv_master4 "clanservers.net" 
set sv_master5 ""

you have this in your cfg already.

Oh, and make sure that these master servers retrieve the heartbeat and are not blocked by your servers firewall

Not working for me. It did download yama.pk3 but keeps toggling between "awaiting gamestate" and "downloading" ad infinitum.

Good news

The redirect worked this time.

Bad News

The speed was only 20KB/sec

instead of using http://xxx.xxx.xxx etc , try using the url ie http://www.yoursite.whatever/files/etmain, don't know if it would make a difference i'm not a comp/internet techie, but it's worth a try.

On a brighter note my ping was only 320 this time, 100 better

, and while i was in there someone was trying to join, they tried 4 times but kept disconnecting, don't know what trouble they were having (maybe wrong ET version), but it couldn't have been because of the downloads because goldrush was playing at the time.

Yes.

Birdman & Spoofeh,

Thank you for your efforts and feedback.

I changed the Apache server configuration again. Could someone try connecting again?

As before my main interest is getting the redirect working properly.

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,
Pete

It's still doing the same thing for me.

The Birdman · Post by **The Birdman** » Sun Dec 10, 2006 3:29 am

Redirect still only 20KB/sec

Yamabushi · Post by **Yamabushi** » Sun Dec 10, 2006 6:52 pm

Weird, Some people are getting good speeds (140kbs+) and others are only getting 20kbs? Any ideas?
