hlfritz Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I just installed this (because I want to use it and need to experiment). What this seemed to do for me: installed and at the end it checked for updates, and updated the updater, then started a torrent download to get the balance of the files. seems to work just like the game itself. not sure about copying from an open beta install, my guess is that it just torrents the proper files (i would think the terrains, etc. cannot be the same as open beta install as those that work with the dedicated server are different - i.e. do not require keys, etc.).

mkosmo Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Any chance to open WebUI (Server control) from local CLIENT? (NOT Local Web control on server machine and NOT Remote Web control via Login to DCS site) I wasn't having any luck with the local UI, either.

hlfritz Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) reporting back: when i run the server i can see it in my DCS World profile, and i can connect to and control it from there. i can also control it from the system itself (via the local web control link). so good for me it is working. maybe a clean install will help some get it going again. i am also going to try and see if i can figure out how to connect to the web gui from a remote system. OK, i tried all kinds of monkey business to connect from a remote machine to the webGUI. i even installed a web server and generated a certificate amongst other things. it looks like ED does some magic between the server itself and their app server that gives us the webgui page. hopefully they make a direct connect available soon.

DeltaMike Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 For people reading this, just want to emphasize, the dedicated server is working. If you're setting up a server for the first time, set it up in dcs, on the computer you play dcs on, the one with the big GPU right. That'll generate a serversettings.lua file. Transfer that to your server and you'll be good to go. Editing that Lua file is pretty self explanatory. The webgui will be handy when they get it working but you don't have to wait, I just set up a vps over the weekend and it works fine Ryzen 5600X (stock), GBX570, 32Gb RAM, AMD 6900XT (reference), G2, WInwing Orion HOTAS, T-flight rudder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madfish Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Can anybody currently confirm that they do have a working webgui based on the Dedicated Server Open Beta Installer and not the full client using the parameters to launch as dedicated?

hlfritz Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) yessir i do, if i was not clear in my previous posts. the only thing i was not able to figure out is an unsupported (yet many of us are hopeful for) feature of using a web client on another system to connect to the server. i got close, but it seems ED has this locked down to use only a web client on the server itself (which does work) or from your account on their web site.

You can always go into your account on ED website from the other system and manage the server from there. It doesn't necessarily have to be your own account. You can create a new account on ED website just for your dedicated server and have your server log-in according to this account that is just for your server.

Wood Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) This is what I get constantly trying to install the open beta server. Is it a result of me not having open beta installed or is the install porked? Never mind for some reason windows update messed with my user settings.

hlfritz Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 no, you do not need anything else DCS installed to install the dedicated server. it looks like you need to run everything as administrator, it looks like your user is a regular user and not an administrator. you can either right click and select run as administrator or try setting your user as an administrator (but sometimes you still need to right click and run as administrator). if you change your user, log out and back in for it to take effect. give that a try and see if it resolves the issue for you.

Vullcan Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Can you convert this to stable release by using the same commands the client has to switch between stable / open beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlfritz Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 In my experience you do not need to convert anything. i installed the server, brought it up, and ran stable generated missions and connected with a stable client. it would be interesting if others tested this as well to see the results; it could be that both open beta and stable were on the same release version when i tested. i have not yet had time to test further.

Only because there are no network change between OB ans stable actually. Next time OB will have change on network protocol, older OB and Stable will not be able to connect. That it since the beginning. @Vullcan : yes you can the same way "Les pilotes du Fail" server administrator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hangs and I have to restart the dedicated server program in order to clear. It tends to not clear the last mission ran. I think I've cleared it up. It appears the server doesn't like having no mission loaded, even if it's stopped. I can work around it by launching a new mission and then deleting the old one.

Ian-C Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hi all Wondering if anyone had the same issue I'm having, got the dedicated server pack setup on a spare computer and i can connect to the Web GUI both locally and through the ED website but cannot join server. Every time i try to connect either through my external IP or the PC's LAN IP it just says server is offline, yet the Web GUI shows server active. Anyone got any clues as to what might be the problem? Server PC is not running a firewall and the port forwarding has been don but that should not be an issue for local connection anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastresort77 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Nevermind I found options.lua inside the server config folder.
