Server starts as port 8192

Hi guyz!
As you know, I have a VPS which I use to host peoples server. Well, I was hosting the server of a guy named XuXu on port 5003. For many days, it ran fine. Today, it suddenly crashed and when I restarted it, he was telling me that he cant connect. After a bit of analyzing, I figured out that the server was running on port 8192. In my server.cfg there is clearly a

Code Select

port 5003on the top. Somehow it still doesnt work. I had managed to fix this problem earlier on KingOfVCs server by typing it manually again on atom and saving it, but this doesnt work here. Any idea what is causing this?

Maybe your 5003 port will pop up as 8192 port.

Try renaming your old server.cfg file, and re-create one and add the contents manually.

No effect...
I will try to update the versions
EDIT: Still no effect
EDIT: Somehow, running it as administrator works. I guess it has some permission issues I will open my folder so it can come without running it as administrator.
EDIT: No, still need to run as administrator. THIS IS NOT FIXED!!! I dont want to run it as administrator.

wait, are you running linux or windows?

If running as an administrator helps, then this is an issue on your side. You probably have done something with file permissions so that the server does not have access to the server.cfg file. Since it can't read any settings from that file, it uses the defaults.

How does it run the plugins, then? Also I have checked all "Allow" permissions for my user account. Also like I said, for many days it ran fine then suddenly... I didnt do anything there.

There's not much we can do. Your permissions are wrong.

How did it run fine before, then? I didn't do anything to them.

Have you allowed permission for the server to connect to your PC, I mean have you allowed access using firewall?

The problem is not about people connecting, it's about starting on the wrong port in the first place.
