That log is showing the same thing, is that the same log? The server can't start because the port is already in use. The most common case of this is when there is another server process in the background that wasn't stopped.

The whole server startup, networking, etc. is entirely unrelated to Oxide, so it would not be the cause of the issue. In this case, the log indicates it being the port binding, which is handled by Rust.

There is no indication your server install is wrong, just something else using that same port so the server can't actually start.

in that case ill wait until tomorrow for a fresh boot, windows was acting up today so maybe that had something to do with it

ok so my pc was off from 3am to 3pm, started it up, ran the orginal (not test) server with oxide, and it keeps hanging.

^ it just hangs like that with oxide installed

edit: i remade the server a second time without any plugins or config files. it seems to be working so far. i will add each plugin and config file one by one to see if a plugin was the issue

i remade the server ⇒ started it to verify everything was working ⇒ installed oxide ⇒ started the server to verify everything was working, it was ⇒ added the plugins ⇒  started again, working ⇒ copied over old configs that werent missing any new arguments ⇒ started server, working

not sure what happened before but there must have been some corrupted file somewhere

Wulf

Glad you got it working. :)

i actually just found out what it was... the plugin AbsoluteGifts. completely broke everything. not sure if theres some compatibility issue

Wulf

That plugin (any really) wouldn't prevent the server from starting or the errors you got though.

i dont know what to tell you, i add it, the server stops working, i remove it, the server starts working...

thanks again for helping me! :D
