So today I was in IRC talking with our server modder/managment and he said that somehow server.ini was missing, he hadnt touched it for ever and one day the server wasnt working, so he looked and found server.ini missing, so he gets it back from a backup file with the same key hostname and settings yet when he starts the FDS it says "Failed to Create Channel" over and over.....so I told him the key must be used all up, but he was using the same exact hostname yet it says failed to create, i told him I have had the same issue with my own play test servers and he claimed he could fix it...using his own serial and renaming the hostname was the only way to get the server running again....anyone know how or why this error occurs even with the same settings? Just curious cause i never touched my FDS since it happened also.

Your server got haxed?

Never happened to me, except my Windows server restarted and said I need to run the server from the install directory..

So yeah, sorry =]

Umm.. did he try logging onto that hostname with Renegade to see if it has been deleted or something?

No, the server was updated with scripts.dll mods which we do alot, and when he tried restarting it it wouldnt work, found out server.ini was missing, so he backed it up with a backup file all with same serial and hostname in it....no go....cant create channel. Like I said, the only way to fix it was to rename the hostname and add his own serial rather than using the old one which used to work all the time...and yes they are both offical renegade serials.

Doesnt seem like you tried this already, perhaps a good idea to try.

we used a a0000 name but the funny thing is...

Someone had the same name server as us for 3 weeks straight, then their host name had one less 0 in it and ended in the same letter....WEIRD>.....but they dont exist anymore..so i wouldnt say they had anything to do with it.
