Full Version: Multiple Dedicated MW3 Servers on one server

Hi all,

I am hoping you can assist me with a problem I am having.

I have one very beefy server that I am trying to host MW3 on but having some problems. I need to host multiple instances of the dedicated server on this one beefy server.

I currently have it setup with the following port settings:

SERVER 1:
  • +set sv_config "server1.cfg"
  • +set dedicated 2
  • +set net_authPort 8766
  • +set net_queryPort 27014
  • +set net_port 27015
Command line:
iw5mp_server.exe +set sv_config "server1.cfg" +set dedicated 2 +set net_authPort 8766 +set net_queryPort 27014 +set net_port 27015 +set sv_maprotation maplist +start_map_rotate

SERVER 2:
  • +set sv_config "server2.cfg"
  • +set dedicated 2
  • +set net_authPort 8766
  • +set net_queryPort 27034
  • +set net_port 27035

Command line:
iw5mp_server.exe +set sv_config "server2.cfg" +set dedicated 2 +set net_authPort 8766 +set net_queryPort 27034 +set net_port 27035 +set sv_maprotation maplist +start_map_rotate

If I start up server 1 and then start up server 2 after that I am able to access server 1's rcon and all the commands work fine. Server 2 gives me no response to any commands once I have rconed in.

If I start the servers the other way round the exact reverse happens.

The servers themselves run perfectly except that I cannot rcon onto them.

I had a look at this guys guide, tried it, couldn't get it to work: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/sh...?t=2352576

There are 4 different port settings, am I perhaps overlapping port settings across the servers that is maybe causeing the 2nd server that starts up to not connect the rcon correctly perhaps?

net_queryPort
net_port
net_authPort
net_masterServerPort

The basic description in the default config is not very clear as to how they work. Could someone please help me figure this problem out?

Thanks in advance!

To add to that, sometimes it does respond but then if I type "status" I get the kick response. Is this a problem with my setup or is it a known problem with the server software?
Can you join both servers via your client? Do you mean the rcon plugin with rcon?
Hi,

As a normal player I can connect to both servers and play fine. Only when I try rcon to the server through the game does the above issue happen.

Krad.
Are you using normal rcon or this http://www.itsmods.com/forum/Thread-Rele...lugin.html ?
Stock standard ingame rcon. Are my port settings correct for two instances on one box?
I've just set the second server to run on a different IP to fix this
using +net_ip 2nd.ip.addr.ess

I think your settings are fine. IW massively screwed up the dedis in mw3. Alternatively, try using the plugin. (Or try what @pieter suggested)

Would I need to have another network card with this different IP to make it work?
i think it's @Pozzuh 's second sentance that covers the load.

even though i set all ports, if i start server 2 before server 1 it mixes up the ports :')

IW failed bigtime

if its local ip's you can just add multiple IP's to your current network card Smile

Thanks for the advice guys, I have now aquired more IPs for this server. Now I sit with a new problem Sad When I start the server up with the IP set to the new IP it is listed in the server browser but when I try connect to the server I get the message "Unable to connect to host".

I have added the IPs as per pieter's post with the new gateway also added. I have disabled the firewall. Any ideas or suggestions as to what could cause this?

Thanks in advance!
