Odd behavior from CS:S HTML MOTD

Doulos · **Author**

My HTML MOTD quit updating at the server. When I recently changed my HTML MOTD and restarted my server the MOTD remains the same as it was before the said changes.

I have my MOTD read remotely like this example:

motd.txt:

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://mycss-server.site.nfoservers.com/motd/index.htm">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

I know the server is being read from this file because if I change the name if the html file to index.html (instead of .htm) I get an error that it can't find that file. However, if I copy and paste the URL into my browser the MOTD shows up as the changed version, whereas the old version shows up when on the server. I have been managing this server for 15 years and I have never had this issue before.

Any ideas what is going on?

Fixed it by changing the URL to myscc-server.com/motd, restarting the server then changing the URL back to the original and restarting. Weird.

Why use HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"? Useless.

Copied that from a google search years ago.

In motd.txt you can use just

Code:

http://mycss-server.site.nfoservers.com/motd/index.html
