Linux Server: Client keeps connecting

[SmittyWerbenManJenson]

Hey guys,

I'm running a server on CentOS 6.2 (Minimal Dist.). I've just set it up recently and wanted to run a KF server on it. I got it up and it runs fine, it even shows in the internet browser ([GER] thiaZ' Slaughterhouse), but I can't connect to it. Once I click connect it is stuck in that black screen where it says "Connecting..." in the middle of the screen, can't think of anything wrong so I request help.

Best regards.

//Edit: What I tried yet:

1. Editing KillingFloor.ini
2. Removing System/steam_appid.txt
3. Removing and re-validating the server files

My first guess would be the server's firewall, depending on your setup of course. My server's INPUT chain defaults to DROP, so I had to open the ports:

-I INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 28854 -j ACCEPT
-I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 28854 -j ACCEPT
-I INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 20660 -j ACCEPT
-I INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 28852 -j ACCEPT
-I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 28852 -j ACCEPT
-I INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 7717 -j ACCEPT
-I INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 7708 -j ACCEPT
-I INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 7707 -j ACCEPT
-I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8075 -j ACCEPT
-I INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 20810 -j ACCEPT
-I INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 20800 -j ACCEPT
-I INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 28960 -j ACCEPT

You'd want to prefix all of the above with 'iptables', like so:

iptables -I INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 28960 -j ACCEPT

Etc. You can then save the rules by running '/etc/init.d/iptables save'. You might want to be careful when messing with the firewall as you can easily lock yourself out of your box if you run the wrong command

Ok, lets see:

Server version: 1037

All ports should be opened:

StartLine + KillingFloor.ini:

Server Log:

The screen all players are stuck at:

Proof that the server appears in the online list:

I am really out of ideas, a developer response to that wouldn't be bad as no other player/hoster has an idea what could cause that. The hoster also said that everything should be alright.

Not sure if it's your problem but you don't need to use the multihome line:

./ucc-bin server KF-BioticsLab.rom?game=KFmod.KFGameType?VACSecured=true?MaxPlayers=6 -nohomedir -multihome=5.39.11.222 ini=KillingFloor.ini

You'd only need that if you have multiple adapters/IPs available that you'd alternatively want to use.

I can connect to your webadmin address so connectivity is good, also couldn't connect to your server.

Check if you are missing the top few lines that you usually see in your own killingfloor.ini, like the port lines and stuff

[SmittyWerbenManJenson]

As I ran out of ideas I tried to add that line, but apparently it had no effect at all so I removed it now (Has the same output though :<)

It can't be a problem of connectivity, I even opened each input connection, and I changed the server's port to 7807 (+100), it had no effect at all.

// Preposter: The .ini is in the links above, ports are added, and as stated above I highly doubt that this is a port problem.

Do you have any custom maps or content that are whitelisted and that you forgot to put a redirect on it?
