Web Admin Problems!!

[legacy-ChrisMayhew]

I have enabled it in my ini and even tried putting my user name and password in the command to start up the server.

It's binded to port 8080 and i have tried accessing it and i get cannot be found!!

Any help with that? Im using a Red Hat Linux, the server is running fine besides the web admin

Also when i shut my SSH Session after starting up the server it shuts down the game server! I have enabled dedicated server so i don't know why it's shutting the game server down when i shut the SSH session.

Any help on these would be great!!!

Also i seem to have high pings and the server specs are:

1.7 GHz Celron
256MB RAM
30GB IDE Hard Drive
100MBit Connection

I think it may be the open SSH connection and a few other processes running on the server but i can't shut these down as this server isn't mine yet.

Is it the browser that tells you the page can't be found? Check with whoever is hosting this for you if they have port 8080 open in their firewall.
If you control the firewall yourself, please post more details on your network (routers, firewalls, etc).

This is because your server is still "talking" to the terminal (or pseudo terminal in SSHs case) and when you log out, the terminal ceases to exist. This causes a signal to be sent to the server when it writes to its output and it terminates. To avoid this, either run your server with screen(1), or redirect output to a file. I usually redirect to the "bit bucket" like this:
ucc server blahblah... >/dev/null 2>&1

What constitutes high? UT2k3 usually display higher ping than most other games because it includes the time to process the "ping" on the server side.

if your in remote with the server with a shell account like me juste use ctrl+a+d if you want to resume it simply type screen -r.

your webadmin is located at http://YOURIP:PORT/ServerAdmin/

Yep the port has been opened, the firewall is actaully switched off now.

And yes it's the browser, it does the admin login box and accepted my user name and password but doesn't load the admin pages that's when i get cannot be found

in the SSH it says this: URL: /

:cry:

Ok, in the [UWeb.WebServer] section, do you have an entry ServerName=<server.ip>?
You need to set that to your servers internal IP since it tries to build a URI to itself to find its pages.

Just tried that and im getting Cannot be found still.


EDIT: Just tried loading it up again, yes i can access it i click on some pages and i get cannot be found and broken images.

Does the server log contain any clues?

I'm not sure why this would happen (esp. if you can see some pages).

Are you running advanced webadmin so you could fix a limited account for testing?

Nope i haven't got the advanced one running.

It's strange as some pages are loading and some aren't
