FiveM Server Development Server Tutorials
23

I have tried so many times to start my server but it Always says that i need a Key and i have one. please help

24

Not to piggyback off this topic but my console says it loads all resources on mine and I can connect through directly but server still not on the list. I run a Linux VPS.

25

@antonlinus2013 Are you making sure to execute the server.cfg?

26

@YippyKiYey Post the IP of your server here. Hopefully one of the elements can look into it for ya.

27

My server IP is 104.251.218.39

Like I said I can connect through direct just fun but I’m assuming I funked something up or something else. Thanks for the response though Blu.

You’ve made sure that this line isn’t uncommented, right?

# disable announcing? clear out the master by uncommenting this
#sv_master1 ""

@Not_Blu executing?What do u mean?

31

Im having the same issue and im exucting my server.cfg so i dont know what is going on

32

@Reaper_Gaming, you’ve done the above?

33

yes i have done that

34

@Reaper_Gaming, Hmmm, I know the elements request people provide their server IP in this instance… I’d make a new post in #technical-support providing as much detail as possible, such as:

  • Upload server.cfg file (remove passwords/keys)
  • Upload a pic of your server console
  • Provide your server IP and port
  • Have you port forwarded correctly (if hosted on your pc)?
  • Is an exception made in your firewall (if hosted on your pc)?

Anything that may seem relevant to this issue.

Hopefully then an element will see it and will assist you.

Still says that i need a key and i remove the “Master” from sv_master1 “” plz help

37

Those two things have nothing to do with each other. It doesn’t matter if you want to list your server in the serverlist or not, you need a key regardless.

38

But i have a key but it dosent work and i have tried everything

39

try adding this to the end of your server start command:

+set sv_licenseKey "changeme"

To add what @Vespura said, I’ve noticed a lot of people haven’t been executing the server.cfg file. Make sure you use the line below when starting your server:

+exec server.cfg
41

I do but it still says licens key required

42

could you maybe show us exactly what you are putting in to start the server?
