CSS server: 96.44.162.238:27015

my sourcebans page:
http://slayersgaming.com/sb/index.php

I ran a test:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[+] SourceBans "Error Connecting()" Debug starting for server 96.44.162.238:27015

[+] Trying to establish UDP connection
[+] UDP connection successfull!
[+] Trying to write to the socket
[+] Successfully requested server info. (That doesn't mean anything on an UDP stream.) Reading...
[-] Error getting server info. Can't read from UDP stream. Port is possibly blocked.

[+] Trying to establish TCP connection
[-] Error connecting #110: Connection timed out
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


from http://sourcebans.net/faq/which-port...equire-be-open

"If your web panel shows Error Connecting for your game server when it is actually online,
ask your web host to open UDP incoming from your game server port (usually 27015).

If either the RCON console, Admin Rehashing or Kick-It does not work on your web panel,
ask your web host to open TCP outgoing to your game server port (usually 27015).

Use this small testing script to get more detailed debugging information. Open the php file and add your gameserver's ip and port as described in the comments.

You should always check beforehand, if your gameserver banned your webserver's ip with listip in rcon. Remove it from the banned_ip.cfg and removeip IP via rcon."


I have followed the SB installation instructions very carefully. I don't think the problem is coming from me not installing SB correctly.

reply from the CSS game server hosts support people:

"We are not blocking any traffic for the port 27015, udp or tcp. I did the little script test and it is working."

Your webhost is indeed blocking the UDP Incoming and TCP Outgoing ports for Sourcebans. I can tell you from past experience, IXWebhosting will never open ports. Even if they say that they did. I once spent a whole month with their support trying to get SourceBans working with no avail.

I suggest going to Angry Gaming for Free Sourcebans Hosting for up to 2 servers. Or buy a VPS with Cpanel/Direct Admin and use CSF plugin if your new to the whole VPS scene.

There is a test script for Sourcebans some where, i can just upload it here.

I am mistaken then, I complained to my CSS server hosts, I thought they were blocking the ports (which they said are not)

IXwebhosting is the website and sql database host, I haven't contacted them about this issue, but I will now


thank you

[Mitchell]

oh i didnt read the part where you asked your provider if they blocked it.

I have a problem with my Sourcebans Version 1.4.10 - Error conecting to my Gameserver

Ok,
When I try to add my Gameserver on my Sourcebans, it said "Error connecting (192.168.0.11:27015)."

Proof:

What do I do?

Hello

Sorry for bumping this old thread. But my webhost needs to know which ports he needs to open so Sourcebans can fetch my game server (CS:S). I told him to open TCP/UDP but he said he needs to know certain ports (numbers) which needs to open.

Kind regards.
