Only able to run one instance of dserver

[[GR]Tankie]

So setting up our Korea server and have found that only one instance of Dserver can be used so we have to choose between GB or Korea, would it be possible for the Dev's to look in to this

[[GR]Tankie]

Cancel this, forgot you needed a separate ip address for the second server. That has solved running 2 instances for the dserver

I tried stopping the IL-2 Box Dserver (Stopped and closed), and tried running the IL-2 Korea Dserver, and the Korea Dserver will not work, so it needs separate authentication on same computer. (not running both at same time). NO way to ask in the forums, guess they are not ready yet. I see lots of server up on multiplayer, I flew one a couple... so they got it going.

Hope this get sorted soon as we have to make the choice of run korea or GB not both 😞

[Habu]

You can run both, you have to change the port of one server.

Tried that from 28100 to 28101 and 28000 to 28001 but missions fail to load gets to 83% then kicks back to the server selection lobby

[Habu]

That's fine, but do you open your firewall with the new port ?

Here is an example of my server :

Great Battle :

DownloaderPort = 28100
TCPPort = 28000
UDPPort = 28000

Korea :

DownloaderPort = 28101
TCPPort = 28001
UDPPort = 28001

Yes all firewall rules in place both in defender and on the server control panel 

[Habu]

Ok, maybe your problem is not a network problem.

Do you host on a dedicated PC, or is it the same PC you use to fly ?

I want to know if you build your mission on a PC, and copy it on another to host the mission.

The dserver is on a separate server in a data centre in Manchester, the missions are normally made on one of our local machines then copied over and resaved on the server via the ME 

This is what the server has it's not a vm but a physical machine

Hello! I just did a test and it works? just different ports 🙂

Just like in GB with various instances and different ports.

Big hugs!

[[GR]Tankie]

Looks like it was something screwy with the defender firewall, disabled that and all working through the data centers firewall

Gotta love mircoslop

[Habu]

Tankie, which OS do you have on your dedicated server ?

I have Windows server on mine.

I'm not a big fan of disabling the windows firewall.

 

[[GR]Tankie]

Windows server 2019, I'm not a fan of disabling it either but it got it working

 

[[GR]Tankie]

Here is a copy of the rules:

 

inbound rules.txt

outbound rules.txt

I can't find any reason as to why defender was blocking anything

 

[Habu]

I have Windows server 2019 too.

To simplify the rule, i open on the application dserver, and not on the port itself.

I had to open ports on the data centers firewall too.

Then, it should work.

[[GR]Tankie]

Turned it back on and now it's all working, something very strange is going on but at least it works. Thanks Habu

[Habu]

Your welcome.

Good flight. 🙂
