When I start it says this:

In case you didn't notice from above, this is my error:

ERROR: Could not load config file (missing or wrong version): soldat.ini

My server was working earlier when I tried it earlier (and I admit this is my first attempt at server.)  I could get SARJ (administration tool) to run earlier but now it won't since I've been getting that error.  The only thing I did since I started getting that error was pretty much edit some stuff in the soldat.ini like the name of the server and the message and stuff.  Any ideas?

   edit SOLDAT.INI section [Network] Admin_Password=

do a fresh install if that doesnt work.

 edit SOLDAT.INI section [Network] Admin_Password=

do a fresh install if that doesnt work.

That has nothing to do with the error; the problem is his soldat.ini is corrupt.


Throw your soldat.ini in here, censored to remove passwords of course.

What you said makes a lot of sense, I probably messed something up, but I totally re-extracted the dedicated server and redid all my options and now it's working.  I still can't imagine what I did wrong though...anyway you can lock it, problem solved.

how would a fresh install not work when he has a corrupted ini? apparently it did.. gg lock thread

I meant what you said about the admin password; a corrupted INI will cause it to not work regardless of if this section is filled in or not. I never said a reinstall wouldn't fix the problem.

A reinstall is a fallback when all else fails, and I would prefer to help people fix their issues rather than force them to redo it all over again.
