Problem Description

Issue

Made a config change to palworldsettings.ini to change the admin password. Took a backup before doing this. Upon logging back into the server it loaded up a couple hours of progress behind. Restored backup from before I changed the config and now the server will not start saying amp may not have the appropriate permissions.

Reproduction Steps

• Select start server
• Receive error stating AMP cannot start the instance may be due to a permission error.
• Console states installing and then ends with “quit”

How did you edit the file? If you used the root user outside of AMP then you have damaged your permissions and need to run ampinstmgr fixperms as root.

[Nathan_Stall]

I used SFTP to connect using WinSCP to edit the file, Logged into using AMPS admin credentials.

[Mike]

Run the permissions repair anyway and make sure to change the setting via AMPs own interface rather than manually.

[Nathan_Stall]

How would I run the permissions repair? From inside AMP? Or from the console of the ubuntu server?

[Mike]

Like I said, as root. So in a terminal

@Mike

ampinstmgr fixperms

Just updated the permissions stopped and started the instance. Getting the same error. Here is a screenshot of the deployment log.

You need to check the instances own log. Right click it and select view logs.

Seeing this line:

Check that the palworld executable is actually flagged as executable using chmod.

[Nathan_Stall]

Could you provide the command or directory I would run that from in the terminal?

Is it PalSever.sh that I am checking?
