HI there, I have setup a headless server on CentOS 7 but I keep getting failed as follows.

[root@************* data]# systemctl1 daemon-reload
bash: systemctl1: command not found...
Similar command is: 'systemctl'
[root@************* data]# systemctl daemon-reload
[root@************* data]# systemctl restart factorio.service

Probably can't find {World1}.zip. Is your save really named that?

Tried running Factorio directly instead of through systemd?

Factorio Headless Server you sure you could run it straight from terminal instead of as a service?

Looks like there's something wrong with line 2 of /opt/factorio/data/server-settings.json.

You can copy server-settings.example.json from that same directory.

ok somehow after days of struggling I managed to access my GNOME Desktop. do you know any helper-shortcuts that will make creating a server now easier with this desktop since moving and copying and editing is so much easier now

Use http://jsonlint.com/. Problem on line 59. Need quotes around "MyAdminName".

now thats one smart link ^_^ ty. got the server running. but I forgot to add a password *again -.-* now is there a way I can still add a password and still use the same map.zip? like just change the settings in this .json?

Start the server with the option --start-server-load-latest. That will load the last autosave, or whatever map is most recent.
