[ERROR][server config] Host name parameter is missing

[Aidan]

Does anyone know why i`m getting this whilst trying to run a server? And yes the server is named in the config file.

[Nica]

Pastebin the config

[Aidan]

hostname = "MyServer"; // Server name
password = ""; // Password to connect to the server
passwordAdmin = ""; // Password to become a server admin

maxPlayers = 60; // Maximum amount of players

verifySignatures = 2; // Verifies .pbos against .bisign files. (only 2 is supported)
forceSameBuild = 1; // When enabled, the server will allow the connection only to clients with same the .exe revision as the server (value 0-1)

disableVoN = 0; // Enable/disable voice over network (value 0-1)
vonCodecQuality = 20; // Voice over network codec quality, the higher the better (values 0-30)

disable3rdPerson=0; // Toggles the 3rd person view for players (value 0-1)
disableCrosshair=0; // Toggles the cross-hair (value 0-1)

serverTime="SystemTime"; // Initial in-game time of the server. "SystemTime" means the local time of the machine. Another possibility is to set the time to some value in "YYYY/MM/DD/HH/MM" format, f.e. "2015/4/8/17/23" .
serverTimeAcceleration=1; // Accelerated Time (value 0-24)// This is a time multiplier for in-game time. In this case, the time would move 24 times faster than normal, so an entire day would pass in one hour.
serverNightTimeAcceleration=64; // Accelerated Nigh Time - The numerical value being a multiplier (0.1-64) and also multiplied by serverTimeAcceleration value. Thus, in case it is set to 4 and serverTimeAcceleration is set to 2, night time would move 8 times faster than normal. An entire night would pass in 3 hours.
serverTimePersistent=0; // Persistent Time (value 0-1)// The actual server time is saved to storage, so when active, the next server start will use the saved time value.

guaranteedUpdates=1; // Communication protocol used with game server (use only number 1)

loginQueueConcurrentPlayers=5; // The number of players concurrently processed during the login process. Should prevent massive performance drop during connection when a lot of people are connecting at the same time.
loginQueueMaxPlayers=500; // The maximum number of players that can wait in login queue

instanceId = 1; // DayZ server instance id, to identify the number of instances per box and their storage folders with persistence files

storeHouseStateDisabled = false;// Disable houses/doors persistence (value true/false), usable in case of problems with persistence
storageAutoFix = 1; // Checks if the persistence files are corrupted and replaces corrupted ones with empty ones (value 0-1)


class Missions
{
class DayZ
{
template="dayzOffline.chernarusplus"; // Mission to load on server startup. <MissionName>.<TerrainName>
};
};

LMAO that is the spirit, Aidan! Nica, thanks for the help. I finally established my local server!

Or You could just double click Server.bat file in the DayZServer Folder.
Wait till Console says Players 0 in total.
Then you should be good to go

worked for me

[Rayo_Gaming]

need help

[Ruubz001]

Aidan, I had trouble too and found a surprisingly easy fix.

Open your .bat file with a notepad.
For me it said : -config=serverDZ.cfg
Meaning, upon launch it gathers the neccesary data from your config file, however, the auto-installed cfg file wasn't called serverDZ.cfg, but just server.cfg
I simply edited the file name and bada-bing bada-boom, works

go to your library, right click dayzserver, go to properties and in the general tab there is launch options. type or paste "-config=serverDZ.cfg" without the ". And launch the server through steam otherwise it doesn't work, not for me at least.
