Hey guys. I run a website called darksaintproductions.com. I started it so i could dabble in the E107 field. I have been workin on the site bit by bit and enjoy the ease of the sites administration and soo on. I have put in a theme and even started using some plugins. I came across your server monitor and have added some servers to it. I didn't do anything else within the coding at this point. Simply installed the plug in and then added ips. But at this time, none of the servers show up.

Could this be because of the query port being the same as the ip port ?
I have used the monitor to tag into 4 soldier of fortune 2 servers and 2 cod4 servers. The query port comes up the same as the ip port... Any help you guys can give would be appreciated.

**side note**
The servers that i have in the monitors, i know they are up and running because, i own the box they are on and run them too.....

I use e107,

In admin/plugins/LGSL, you need to set each games ZONE from 0 up a notch

Make sure all servers are in zone 1, or individually in zone 1, zone2, zone 3 etc

and just allow the LGSL to input the query port, you just put the game ip:port in and update the cache.

then activate each zone in admin/menus - LGSL_1, LGSL_2, etc

otherwise more info please, but hope this helps

Thanks for the hit back palyarmerc.

Here is a pic of what i have done and how the settings look.

Is it just sof2 and cod4 that have this issue ? I realize there should be map pics and i am going to take those, but no player information is being displayed, is there some code in one of the php files that has to be changed ? I am kinda new to that so in all redundancy, the help helps.

Thanks again.

Everything looks ok and it works on my LGSL

try opening your lgsl_config.php file with notepad and changing the http: to the location of your LGSL

Example;

$lgsl_config['url_path'] = "http://localhost/e107_plugins/lgsl/lgsl_files/";
// full domain path to /lgsl_files/ for when path detection fails

Are you talking about this line ?
$lgsl_config['feed']['url'] = "http://www.greycube.co.uk/lgsl/feed/lgsl_files/lgsl_feed.php";

Nope. Its at the very bottom of lgsl_config.php

$lgsl_config['url_path'] = " ";
// full domain path to /lgsl_files/ for when path detection fails

change it to..

$lgsl_config['url_path'] = "http://YOURWEBSITE/e107_plugins/lgsl/lgsl_files/";
// full domain path to /lgsl_files/ for when path detection fails

OK good, it's getting there.

What you are seeing now is usually a reult of it not finding the images

make sure paths and folders exist

all games should have an icon folder and map folders, else it fails to return any values.

Looks like you are missing the ".com" in your URL you put into the config file.

Your thread and Vejout's are almost one and the same LOL

It happened to me when I played ARMA DEMO

for some reason its looking for a folder called 'sof2mp'

you have

type: sof2
game: sof2

you need

type: sof2
game:sof2mp

The only way I knew around this was to have a second subfolder of images
(maps/sof2/sof2 and) maps/sof2/sof2mp

But In my LGSL the original folder for images was sof2mp anyway
so this does not solve the problem but edges closer to it.
I can get the server details up on my viewer when no ICON or MAP folders exist.

We need some fresh input - glad I could help up to now though, and you are already
a lot more familiar with LGSL - which is useful

Yes abit more familiar than i was for sure.
This is the ideal environment to actually learn this... And believe me I appreciate it.

So who do we wait on now ?

Not sure what to do next on my end either, but all the help in trying to figure it out is MUCHO appreciated!

That one server of mine has a status of "NO RESPONSE" while all the others are "ONLINE" so it's more than just the images.

Is there anything to that "Sofware Port" that we should be playing with? They are all the default "0" right now. It's about the only thing I haven't tried to change to fix this.

My last input..it's been said elsewhere a lot, but...

Don't overlook the possibilty that the server host doesn't allow fsockopen and so you'll never get it to work.

Find a site that runs LGSL ok (like mine) then run a 'whois DNS lookup' (google it) search on said site, to find out who they host with.

I'm guessing Merrick, but yours might be that kind of site, incompatable with LGSL.

My host is very good, and very cheap, I hope they're around for a while to come.

...and finally... take a look at the idea of running a home (offline) server for diagnostics, before uploading LGSL to your site. it's quicker for diagnostics since all files are local. Rich has a link to XAMP in his software list, and I use WAMP, both easy to setup and control.

Got my issue fixed. It was the fact that the port used by our 4th server was not the standard port 28960, so it wasn't open for the query. It's open now and all is good.

You should double check with your ISP to make sure the port that LGSL is trying to query is open for communication.

You should contact bluehost and ask them if they could open the ports that LGSL is trying to use to query the servers.

Whom ever is hosting your game server tells you this. The default CoD4 port is 28960, but some use slightly different ports like one of our game servers uses 28930, but you can just have your game server admin person tell you what those ports are.

Different games use different ports.
