Connecting client to my hosted VPS

Hey guys,

I rented a VPS this morning and setup a server on it using the 2006rebotted source. [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] . I have everything running on the VPS and I have my port 43594 open to inbound and outbound. I can connect to my server on the VPS but not on my PC. I've tried changing the client server IP to the VPS IP and it doesn't move past "connecting to web server".

Does anybody have any ideas? I'm very new to all this and I'm just looking to host something for a few friends and myself.

Thanks

Sounds like it cannot connect to the fileserver

Make sure you correctly portforwarded the ports, also if the server uses an fileserver you need to portforward the port for that one too

Thanks guys, I managed to get that fixed and I'm connected to it. Now I'm having a whole new issue, I'm hoping somebody here would know what's causing this. So I'm loading into my server very slow, when I connect to the server, I get a black screen saying "loading - please wait" for a few minutes before I finally load in. Once I manage to actually load in, the in game models take an additional few minutes to load in and when I try to load a new chunk, it takes a few minutes. When I disconnect from the server, I get a message on the client saying "Loading extra files- 100%". I tried letting that sit for a few hours and it didn't change. Does anybody here have any idea as to what would be causing this?

Another thing to check out for go to your VPS control panel (the host itself) as sometimes you may need to open the port there(I had to the one time.)
To get your IP for what I do when portforwarding, just use the open port tool and copy/paste the one drawn there. I know you tried using this(the vps ip)-but continue to use it as it should work.

Then run source and check.
If you STILL can't get it going - add me and I'll assist you free of charge.

EDIT:
Just realized you got it going. Is your client on low mem or high mem? try setting to low to see if it still happens. May not have anything to do with it but its possible for the loading-please wait.

How do I see if it's running in low or high memory? I was parsing through the code and couldn't find anything. Thanks
