FiveM Server Development Server Discussion

Hello guys. I bought a VPS linux with Ubuntu and I have tried to install a server on that but …

here is console : http://prntscr.com/idwzqr
here is folder patch : http://prntscr.com/idwzyc and http://prntscr.com/idx009
here is my server.cfg : http://prntscr.com/idx08d

The problem is that I start the server but I was trying to connect from Direct Connect with ip and port and its not working. https://image.prntscr.com/image/nnB8yAFBQuufa4gG5C1N8g.png

did you port foward?

sudo ufw allow 30120
3

line 3 and 4 of your .cfg

Replace your lines by (if you don’t have multiple interfaces) :

endpoint_add_tcp “0.0.0.0:30120”
endpoint_add_udp “0.0.0.0:30120”

@Scyar_Gameur @Envious

still not working, I did both of them.

5

Run on cmd : ps aux
And check any process run on 30120 port

6

@Scyar_Gameur

This is what I got after I run the command

I am kinda confused with this but probably you will get something

7

Let your server running and do it in over ssh connection

(Are you using Putty ?)

8

on your Linux server when trying to connect do you close down your console window? before trying to connect? because if you dont have it running in background it will not be running and that is why you can not connect

9

That’s why I ask if he’s using Putty

10

dont change this, there is no reason to unless you are running multipal servers off of it.

11

@wpgn @Scyar_Gameur

I am using Putty

after I start my server I leave putty on and then try to connect to the server.

I know if I will close putty the server will close.

I tried with screen , leave the server on in screen and the same thing

@Painwithin I modified them and now are exactly like that

12

How exactly are you trying to run the server? are you using the run.sh? and what folder are to trying to start it within.

13

@Painwithin

I have followed this tutorial step by step so …

14

scratch that, that dont matter as your server is starting normaly, so it must be some sort of port problem perhaps contact your VPS and see if the port is being used by something else or try a different port.

have you waited atleast 10 minutes to see if the console shows a heart beat?

15

Did you try to do an other ssh connection and listen on 30120 port ?

16

I found it guys, I tried with different port and it was working, ( 28015 port )

So it is a problem of the port 30120, should i do something in putty or should I contact the vps provider ?

17

contact your VPS i figured it was a port problem.

you can create a link to a service file that will auto start your fivem server on boot by making following file and doing commands

create a file called fivem.service

and inside that add this

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
Group=root
RestartSec=30
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c “cd /home/fx-server; sh ./run.sh +exec server.cfg”
ExecReload=/bin/kill -s HUP $MAINPID
ExecStop=/bin/kill -s INT $MAINPID
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

then place it into following folder

/etc/systemd/system

now in your console type following

service fivem start

systemctl enable fivem.service

then you should be good to go after reboot hope that helps you, also make sure to change the /home/fx-server/ to fit your folder structure
