[0.18.3] Linux headless server closing after initialization

Post by Goll420 »

Hello guys

Not been here for a while, in fact no played since 0.16 I think and thought i'll check out the 0.18 update.

We have a server at work which we built a Debian VM on and installed Linux Game Server Manager. This used to work really well with the older versions and I never had any problems with it.

I got the server updated and then updated factorio using the LGSM commands but I cannot get the headless server up and running for love or money!

To start with I had errors about the achievements, so I removed the acheivement.dat file. Then there was another issue which I managed to resolve but now there are no errors in the log and it just doesn't start?!!

Code: Select all

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure save1.zip exists and is directly in serverfiles and not a saves folder?

Yeah the file exists in serverfiles/


fctrserver@RustVM01:~$ ls serverfiles/
backedupworld.zip data GollsHospital.zip save1.zip
bin factorio-current.log mods saves
config factorio-previous.log player-data.json temp
config-path.cfg GollSean.save1.zip SatNight1047pm.zip
fctrserver@RustVM01:~$

Just removed it entirely and installed fresh.

Still same issue, won't start. No breadcrumbs in the log.

It was the admins part at the bottom of fctserver.json.

Checked with a parse checker and it's fired up! :D

Can you post a version of the file that reproduces the won't-start issue? It should put *something* in the log that it failed to prevent these kinds of issues.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

You mean there was JSON syntax error that was not reported by factorio server properly?

Apologies for never responding to this, I am sure it was an error on my part by filling in the json file incorrectly.
