Hello everyone, I turn to you today because I wanted to use the EPM Rcon software to administer my server correctly, suddenly here's what I get into the rcon bepath:
but when I go into my software EPM Rcon, I get all the right information, it shows me this:

thank you in advance for your help

have you created a beserver.cfg file ?

commented Jun 22, 2016

Yes

have you specified a port in that file ?

my beserver.cfg
RConPort 2301
RConPassword 123456
MaxPing 500

i have port forwarded port 2301 tcp and udp in router.
beserver.cfg resides in ./serverfiles/battleye (with chmod 775)
my arma3server script battleye entry is

# Path to BattlEye
# leave empty for default
bepath='

commented Jun 22, 2016

es Do I have to put any thing in bepath?

commented Jun 22, 2016

i would leave bepath='
restart server and see how that goes ? i did have issues when specifying a path in that value.
as long as you place beserver.cfg in /home/arma3server/serverfiles/battleye/

commented Jun 22, 2016

it is normal that after the file is called beserver_active_xxxxxxxx.cfg ? Patrick stewart 9 worlds.

commented Jun 22, 2016

it seems that is a security measure, the battleye client adds random letters to it as an anti-hack measure,
what it does show is that battle eye is reading the file :)

when the server is stopped you can safely rename it back to beserver.cfg make any changes. and once the server starts again, you'll notice the file is then renamed to beserver_active_xxxxxxxx.cfg.

are you hosting from home or a dedicated ? as you may have to have the port forwarded ?

commented Jun 22, 2016

My server is hosted by OVH is the game port is 2302

commented Jun 22, 2016

not sure about hosted setups, sorry, i use a dedicated linux machine on my local network with ports forwarded through my router so it can be connected to from the outside,
my local address for server is 192.168.1.118 and it appears in the server browser as 211.28.215.135

did OVH have to open your UDP ports 2302,2303,2304,2305 ? if they did, you will have to ask them to open 2301 (or whatever port you specify in beserver.cfg) on both TCP and UDP. battleye uses TCP and UDP as far as i can tell. whereas arma3 server uses UDP only

commented Jun 22, 2016

I'm on a dedicated machine OVH and my machine to unlock all ports

commented Jun 22, 2016

netstat -atunp grep arma3server

you should see similar to this (mine is local address)

udp 0 0 192.168.1.118:2301 0.0.0.0:* 5459/arma3server<-- battleye port
udp 0 0 192.168.1.118:2302 0.0.0.0:* 5459/arma3server
udp 0 0 192.168.1.118:2303 0.0.0.0:* 5459/arma3server
udp 0 0 192.168.1.118:2304 0.0.0.0:* 5459/arma3server
udp 0 0 192.168.1.118:2305 0.0.0.0:* 5459/arma3server

I have this:

Arma 3 rcon setup server

commented Jun 22, 2016

could you post your beserver.cfg (overwrite your password)

from the screen shot i am guessing that 53434 is your battleye port maybe

commented Jun 22, 2016

commented Jun 22, 2016

found it,

RConPassword *****
RConPort 2302 <--cant use game port :)
MaxPing 350

change to RConPort 2301

commented Jun 22, 2016

since v1.58 as per bohemia..
RconPort must avoid reserved ARMA3server port range (gameport *+0,+1,+2,+3))
default reserved ports are 2302 - 2305 (to clarify the reserved ports can't be used for BattlEye's RCON).
example for default server setting, RconPort 2301

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BattlEye#RCon

i fell into the same trap from the old way of connecting when you did indeed use the game port 2302

commented Jun 22, 2016

I'm testing

commented Jun 23, 2016

If you got an OVH 'Game' series server, make sure your OVH firewall (not iptables) doesn't block those ports.

commented Jun 24, 2016

@AznoYT did you get this sorted out ?

commented Jun 24, 2016

it's good it works, and for information when they rent a dedicated server at OVH all ports are already open

commented Jun 24, 2016

thats good, so the problem was the wrong port in beserver.cfg ?

glad its working now. may as well close the ticket as it is now fixed

have fun.
