Problem Description

Issue

Hello, i have installed the Forest server to play with friend but i have the Steam main port not listening.
Because of this i have searched in the knowledge base to try to find my problem and found this guide “ Diagnosing Connectivity Issues
i have followed it to diagnosticate my problem and here is the result

  • My port forwarding works (i have succefully connected multiple time to the webui of AMP via my public ip)
  • my ampinstmgr ports gave me this info :

[Info/1] Port usage for TheForest01 (TheForest)
[Info/1] Instance is currently running.
[Info/1] LISTENING 8081 TCP (Core.Webserver.Port)
[Info/1] LISTENING 2224 TCP (FileManagerPlugin.SFTP.SFTPPortNumber)
[Info/1] LISTENING 27015 Both (GenericModule.App.Ports.$gamePort)
[Info/1] CLOSED 8766 Both (GenericModule.App.Ports.$steamPort)
[Info/1] LISTENING 27016 Both (GenericModule.App.Ports.$queryPort)

Like we see above my problem come from the fact Port 8766 is closed because of this i did an “ampinstmgr dumpfirewall” and “ampinstmgr updatefirewall” that were succefull at not finding new port to open
using “ufw status” i have confirmed that my firewall was actived.

So do any of you have any help you can give me ?

Reproduction Steps

  • connect via SSH to my AMP SERVER
  • i switched to the AMP user using the SU command (i cannot post the command i dont know why)
  • i have run ampinstmgr ports
  • selected the instance Theforest01
  • at this step i have discovered that one of my port was closed

Not uncommon for the steam port to show as not listening on these sorts of servers. It shouldn’t affect connectivity
