I think you’re misunderstanding what we’re saying. Don’t feel bad because until I saw that screenshot above, I didn’t understand either.

Do not try to start the file from a file explorer or file manager. it needs to be run by a command and while in the directory of you server.cfg.

If you’re on windows, try starting it from a batch file:

cd /d C:\FiveM\server-data
C:\FiveM\run.cmd +exec server.cfg
  1. Line one needs to be the file path of your server.cfg
  2. Line two must be the path leading to run.cmd

Save that file anywhere and double-click it. Hopefully that will get you up and running.
