Linux dedicated server does not read the server.cfg given with command line parameter -config=server.cfg .
I noticed it, when I tried to setup a local dedicated server using loopback device (loopback = true;).
I used the well known 'strace' tool to track down the reason and found that my server.cfg is never even touched.
I also saw someone else mentioning it on the forum, but I can't find its post again.
Console output:
I tried several given solutions to other issues to figure out if it may fix my issue as well, such as:
+ Used fresh environment (created new user).
+ Used a separate steam account.
+ Validated installed files (app_update ... validate)
+ Made sure, steam was not running when I launched the server (since it may interfere).
+ Gave write access to all files/directories to anybody: chmod -R a+w ~
+ Created missing directories ./local/share/Arma 3/tmp and ./local/share/Arma 3/Tmp2302
+ Copied "Arma 3\BISProfile.json" to "Arma 3/BISProfile.json" (just in case)
I am using -config=serverconfig/server.cfg so it's in a subfolder. No problem here. Can you try if a subfolder works?
Tried it, but it makes no difference, unfortunately.
Are you sure, the server actually reads your config? Can you proof it somehow?
It reads the servername and password from it so.... I'm quite confident it reads the config instead of my mind.
