Hello,
So i recently installed a Rust Linux server and now i tried to add oxide.
But i cant get it to work. I followed the steps as shown in the getting started but once the Server is running and I try oxide.version nothing happens, not even a oxide folder gets created....
Log File is Attached
LOG File

I´m not that experienced in Rust server development because I mainy setup Arma  3 servers but I´d appreciate if someone could help me ;)

That would imply that Oxide is not installed. Make sure you are not running SteamCMD when starting the server, as that will remove Oxide.

Thank you for your quick reply, I´ll see if SteamCMD is still running and will get back once i´m done.

Okay so SteamCMD isn´t running.....

Like the tutorial said. I downloaded the Linux zip, unpacked it and moved the folder on my server where the original RustDedicated_Data Folder is located.

Did you shut down the server first? Could you show me a screenshot of your RustDedicated_Data/Managed?

If there is no indication of Oxide loading, no oxide folder created, no oxide/logs, and oxide.version is an unknown command, that would mean that Oxide was not fully installed or was uninstalled by an update to the server. When installing Oxide, make sure to replace all files, and make sure the server is shut down fully before replacing.

The key here is the patched files such as Assembly-CSharp.dll, which is where Oxide is told to load by the Rust server. If files such as that are not replaced or are restored, Oxide will not load; such as with this case.

A big thank you for your help but I still cant figure out my issue.
Next step will be to try another server host / remove my webinterface
