Can't Open Dedicated Server

[ladybug8789]

I'm trying to create a dedicated server for the first time with the new directions and when I try to open the server I keep getting:

 

[00:00:03]: [Warning] Could not confirm port 10999 is open in the firewall.

[00:00:03]: Shard server mode disabled: missing shard_enable setting.

[00:00:03]: [sHARD] Shard server mode disabled by configuration file

[00:00:03]: [Error] Server failed to start!

[00:00:03]: Unhandled exception during server startup: RakNet UDP startup failed: SOCKET_PORT_ALREADY_IN_USE (5)

[00:00:03]: PushNetworkDisconnectEvent With Reason: "ID_DST_INITIALIZATION_FAILED", reset: false

[00:00:03]: Details: SOCKET_PORT_ALREADY_IN_USE

 

I'm not sure what I need to do to fix it... Anyone have any ideas?

Hi @ladybug8789,

 

try to change your server port

[ladybug8789]

I tried changing my port in the settings.ini and it's still displaying the same message with the same port number. Is this port number in a different place?

Did you try to shutdown your server to change the content of settings.ini file or you just changed the content while server was running?

Basically, the port in use thing says something's already using that port. If both servers are trying to use the same port you'll get that error. Likewise if for some reason a different program is using the port you'll get it. Or if you've got two copies of the same server running at once.
