OS Name/Version: Ubuntu Linux 20.04

Product Name/Version: Phobos 2.6.0.6 build 20/11/2024

Problem Description: I created a 7 Days to Die server last night, but I am unable to connect to it. The game states that the Server is still initializing but I has been up for 8 hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Step 1: Installed Linux 20.04 on a VM, set static IP.
  • Step 2: Installed AMP using instructions on website.
  • Step 3: Installed 7 Days to Die Server, forwarded ports required.
  • Step 4: Transferred Rebirth Mod Files to Mods directory on new server.
  • Step 5: Started server with Rebirth Mod.

Actions taken to resolve so far: I have attempted to update the server, restart the server, verify port forwarding.

Which ports did you forward?

3

26900,26901,26902,26903,26904,26905,26906
Pretty much all ports listed in the network port status list on my instance main page

4

Does the server start OK with the mod files? What ports are shown as listening?

5

Yes, the server starts ok with the mod files. I just started it up again and now it is showing just ports 2224, 26902,26905 and 8081 that are listening. The other 5 are not.
The ports are forwarded on my router. Do I need to make a change on AMP?

6

That sounds normal. Not all ports show as listening but are still required by the server …

Check that firewall rules exist on the host?

7

All firewall rules exist on the host server except for port 8081 - Webserver Port. AMP’s core webserver port 8080 does exist on the host server.

Can someone outside your network connect? Could be a NAT hairpin issue

I haven’t tested that out yet. I will give it a try and reply ASAP. Thank you Greelan!
