File /info.json not found"

[jiynn]

Everytime I try to launch my headless server (ubuntu) with the following commands, I get the error "Error ServerMultiplayerManager.cpp:94: MultiplayerManager failed: "File /info.json not found""...

Code: Select all

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start factorio

After running "systemctl status factorio.service" I get the following readout:

Code: Select all

info.json is a file inside the .zip save file. Either the latest save is corrupted or you have a zip file in the folder that is not an actual factorio save file.

Edit:
Not sure, but

Code: Select all

--start-server-load-latest /opt/factorio/saves/3rd.zip

does not make sense to me, either you want the latest save to be loaded or you want a specific one?!

I found the file in multiple locations (not zipped) however I'm not sure where it's supposed to be, or what file references it.


Also, this is a fresh vanilla server, first time trying to run it.

Followed a walk through, was mentioned to put that in there to name the save/always load latest... how should that line be phrased to start a new server where the save will be named "3rd"?

I have not looked at server setups for a long time so I might be wrong but I would expect either:

Code: Select all

--start-server ./saves/SaveFileName.zip

or

Code: Select all

--start-server-load-latest

Do you have a save file already or do you want the server to create it on start?

Would like the server to create "3rd.zip" for a save file on start

Code: Select all

ExecStart=/opt/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --start-server /opt/factorio/saves/3rd.zip  --server-settings /opt/factorio/data/server-settings.json

I attempted with this line, and the output was:

Code: Select all

 MultiplayerManager failed: "File /opt/factorio/saves/3rd.zip does not exist."

For this you need to tell the server to create the file and reference map-settings and map-gen-settings. Not sure which walk through you looked up, but I found the wiki explains this quite well: https://wiki.factorio.com/Multiplayer#D ... ess_server.

The other walkthrough didn't have the create step... thank you very much, it's running now!
