Hi, i got a problem with starting the server.

The log’s always saying:
Match settings file : MatchSettings\beta1.txt
Loading match settings…
…ERROR: The playlist file does not exist.
…Could not load the match settings
Server not started: no Challenges available. Check your matchsettings!
Exiting…

I already tried all possibilities for the path to the matchsettings-file:
beta1.txt
MatchSettings\beta1.txt
Maps\MatchSettings\beta1.txt
UserData\Maps\MatchSettings\beta1.txt
# or even
~\TM2C_server\UserData\Maps\MatchSettings\beta1.txt

nothing changes the resulting error…

- running a Debian LTS root server
- already set permissions for file on “755″
- imported working files from WinSvr2008 root

if u tried the original Beta1.txt be aware of that linux is case sensitive
its not beta1.txt
its Beta1.txt

You can also run into problems if the playlist file is improperly encoded.. I believe UTF8 without BOM is required, though normal ANSI should work fine.

it was the case sensitivity problem ^^

i controlled especially the spelling of >M<atch>S<ettings, but i missed out Beta1 ... ^^ hm tm2 server seems running well now, but fast doesn't start up.
But this is another topic, thx so far
