Just updated my sandbox to 1.8.3 and had the same MySQL issue of the root user not being recognised as a definer on hive spawn. Thanks to Stuff and Junk for the steer, otherwise I would have been at it a while longer before getting round to editing pMain to correct the reference under my own steam.

I've switched back from 125548 beta to 125402 stable. My server and client happily co-exist on the same machine again.

It turns out that I was in a tail chase the whole time ... with something nobody has mentioned yet, let alone confirmed and I have only even seen the question asked tonight. it is either too complicated, or simply not possible, to run a dedicated server and a client from the same computer any...

Yes, been there and just about every other discussion where ArmA 2 OA and Steam is mentioned. Like almost all of them it is a topic full of problems, but no answers. I had a working server last week after messing around with port forwarding. All I did was change from 1.63.124879 to...

Changing the appid to anything other than 33930 does not appear to work with ArmA 2 OA Server 1.63 versions, it just makes the server disappear from the in-game server browser.

Heh, post location aside, have you not tried 1.63.116523? That was the last version of the separate beta expansion mod on Steam only, before the new 1.63.124xxx "dev branch" betas came along. Getting a copy requires a little more lateral thinking ... In Steam, right click on ArmA 2 Operation...

As far as I am aware, only UDP ports are required. That may not be the case, but my server works without TCP ports open and the available information from BIS and ArmA users indicates that only UDP ports are used. Also, 1.63.116523 was the last beta expansion mod version of A2OA that is a...

Ok, I have identified my problem ... and probably that of most baffled server admins / hosts. ArmA 2 OA Server and Steam server communication cannot handle port management or NAT traversal at all. I had to manually open all the required inbound and outbound ports on my software and router...

I've been configuring my DayZ Mod private hive sandbox server to use the dev branch of ArmA 2 OA (a.k.a. the "new" beta). ArmA 2 OA 1.63.124879 DayZ Mod 1.8.1 Pwnoz0r Server Pack 2.6.0 (DayZ 1.8.1) I'm banging my head on the keyboard with this chestnut. My build works just fine with beta...

Thanks Pwnoz0r, some of us still do.

Many thanks for the responses, much appreciated. Though I've written a server launcher, restart and shutdown batch script, injecting rcon commands for messages from outside the server process using batch is probably not possible. I'll have a look at your ServerMessages app, thanks for the tip.

Does EPM have a scheduling function for restarts and messages? I could not see anything in the changelog or feature list. I don't want to run BEC just for its scheduler. I have direct physical access to my server (its on the desk beside me) and often won't be in game, so the chat driven...
