Yea, you're probably thinking..."Read the Manual loser!!!"...Think again.
I have a simple problem, which seems so hard to solve. The server says "Online" and then when I try to connect (on another pc) it says "Server did not respond".
Things I have done:
1. Forwarded my ports PROPERLY
2. Configured the cfg file
Here are two configurations I have tried...both failed:
NAME = 'RMX OS Server'
HOST = '10.0.0.2'
PORT = 54269
RMXOS_VERSION = 1.15
LOG_MESSAGES = false
LOG_ERRORS = true
LOG_ACTIONS = true
DEBUG_MODE = false
MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS = 20
LOGIN_TIMEOUT = 30
AUTO_RESTART = true
RESTART_TIME = 5
USE_IP_BANNING = true
PREVENT_ZOMBIE_CLIENTS = false
RUBY_PROMPT = false
OPTIMIZE_DATABASE_ON_STARTUP = true
DATABASE_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = 60
SQL_HOSTNAME = '127.0.0.1'
SQL_USERNAME = 'root'
SQL_PASSWORD = '********'
SQL_DATABASE = 'rmxosdb'
INBOX_SIZE = 10
EXTENSIONS = ['babsrmxos', 'userlogger'
]
NAME = 'RMX OS Server'
HOST = '69.80.12.160'
PORT = 54269
RMXOS_VERSION = 1.15
LOG_MESSAGES = false
LOG_ERRORS = true
LOG_ACTIONS = true
DEBUG_MODE = false
MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS = 20
LOGIN_TIMEOUT = 30
AUTO_RESTART = true
RESTART_TIME = 5
USE_IP_BANNING = true
PREVENT_ZOMBIE_CLIENTS = false
RUBY_PROMPT = false
OPTIMIZE_DATABASE_ON_STARTUP = true
DATABASE_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = 60
SQL_HOSTNAME = '127.0.0.1'
SQL_USERNAME = 'root'
SQL_PASSWORD = '*********'
SQL_DATABASE = 'rmxosdb'
INBOX_SIZE = 10
EXTENSIONS = ['babsrmxos', 'userlogger'
]
3. The MySQL server IS running (I checked)
4. Reconfigured EVERYTHING and came up with the same problem as before 'Fail Error' :naughty:
5. READ THE MANUAL SEVERAL TIMES TO ENSURE I DIDN'T MISS ANYTHING ( I even read the FAQ about this problem, and as I said
my ports are forwarded properly.
6. Added Ruby to my list of firewall exceptions including Windows Firewall and my Norton's firewall.
PS...I am behind a router, and I'm also wondering if the server can be ran properly with a Wi-Fi conncetion?
Thanks in advance to all who assist :)
When it gives the online status, it doesn't necessarily mean the server is online. It means something is online at that port. If you get that error, it means that either you haven't added the proper firewall exceptions, which you did, OR, that the something at the port is not your server. Where are you running your server? (your pc, linux shell, etc.)
Actually if you try to run something on a port that is already taken, your PC won't allow it and give you an error message. Basically it's the port forward configuration, it's not set up properly or it's the network configuration of the PC which doesn't allow remote connections like this.
Hmmmm...well I am using a pc. Is there any way to fix this once and for all? Any threads on port forwarding or whether or not my pc can run a server?
