Introductions before assistance :-)
Hi there, im am presently the DCL of a freelancer community from the UK. Our servers are supplied by a UK GSP called wireplay. Details can be seen here :http://forums.wireplay.co.uk/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=293439
We have a small community which is growing, and we are fairly happy with its progress as our Freelancer section has only been going for a short while.
The reason im posting is 1 to say hi and 2 to ask for some help.
We have been having problems using server tools with our system. Let me explain..
We have tried both server operator and FLAdmin and on both the problem is the same.
After setting setting up FLadmin up we start it, with the default 60 seconds on server check,after finding it boots without a problem and seems to run ok. The problem is it seems 60 seconds later it will spawn another server up
if left unchecked as i did once we end up with 30+ servers running off the same box. This seems to be the case with both programs, do you have any ideas?.
As for server setup i dont think i am allowed to disclose details but what i can say is that they are dual proccessor platforms. Not ideal but they run pretty well.
Any help advice is very welcome as we are pretty much stumped lol.
Also i noticed in some threads an idea about setting up a communications link between server operators, is this a reality now, how / can we become part of this?
Look forward to hearing from you as we are still new to this, and you are in the old term of words (gamepros) to us at the minute.

As for starting up multiple flserver programs, it would seem for some reason FLAdmin doesn't pick up the fact flserver is running. I have never used the server operator so I won't relate to that program but the fact that this issue happens with more than one program points squarely to an OS issue. I beleive FLAdmin looks for an OS provided list of running programs. The reasons for not picking up the running flserver could be many. One I am thinking about is security and permissions. Another is ownership. What OS are you running? I had to go to WinXPPro because Win2k didn't work with flserver by not connecting through the network (I had installed SP3 though, which people say is the problem). Are you starting FLAdmin as a service? Is everything running in an admin account? Just some thoughts.
