How to shutdown server?

[Herc18]

Hey I'm hosting a private dedicated server, problem is whenever I shut it down it reverts to day 2, how do I shut down properly? I try typing shutdown in game console but it says denied, is there any other way to shut it down?

Need to use "saveworld" first, to force a data save, then "shutdown" to gracefully shut the server down and preserve things like the day.

Normally using the console works for it. I've heard connecting via a terminal like putty works too. Depends on your server host.

It says denying command saveworld? I'm hosting thru the batch file privately

Might need to wait for someone who's done their own hosting to help with it. That wouldn't be me.

No worries thanks for the advice :) doesn't the world auto save at some point?

a few days too late, but anyway here it goes;
Been hosting both private and on pingperfect, never used the "saveworld" command, just the /shutdown which saves the serverstate.
I'd advice against using their (pingperfects - or any other hosting site) restart/stop feature since that rolls back the time on the server - everything stays looted and built, equipment zombie kills stays mind you, just the clock turns back to whenever you used /shutdown last (or day 1 08:00 if you never used it).

thx for the reply but i figured out how to use the web control panel :)

Does that correctly save the time though?

sure does :)
