No that I'm aware of.

By the way you have just to create a system user for each ARK server and put inside it the .arkmanager.cfg for it

You can also create a local config file (containing all of the ark_<option> and arkflag_<option> options, as well as the arkserverroot, serverMap and/or serverMapModId options) for each server and add the paths of those config files as configfile_<name> settings in the main /etc/arkmanager/arkmanager.cfg file. Then to control each instance, use arkmanager useconfig <name> <command> [<command> ...].

so that will be the main config :

arkstChannel="master"                                               # change it to a different branch to get non-stable versions

If you're using the useconfig command, then you need to make sure your ARK user is able to access all directories you specify. The steamcmd directory does not need to duplicated between configs if you use the same user.

The comment in the default config file in 1.3 on what option to use for alternative configs is incorrect, and should be configfile_<name>, not config_<name>.

As of 1.4, the init scripts should start all ARK instances specified using alternate configs.

/etc/arkmanager/arkmanager.cfg:

arkstChannel="master"                                               # change it to a different branch to get non-stable versions

If instead you're using the per-user config, then the per-server options should include the steamcmd settings and the log directory. Note that the init scripts do not support per-user configs.

arkfrance · 2015-09-28T13:26:06Z

that means that if i reboot one game instance it will reboot both ?

klightspeed · 2015-09-28T13:33:05Z

arkmanager restart will only restart the main instance.
arkamanger useconfig pve restart will only restart the pve instance
arkmanager restart --all as of 1.4 will restart all instances.

arkfrance · 2015-09-28T13:39:30Z

ok so if i'm right

that's my main cfg 👍

arkfrance · 2015-09-28T19:26:17Z

is it correct ?

klightspeed · 2015-09-28T22:13:57Z

Yes, that should work.

arkfrance · 2015-09-28T22:16:46Z

then after that, do i need to start another install ?

klightspeed · 2015-09-28T22:22:30Z

You would install the second instance of ARK server the same way you installed the first, except using the useconfig pve command before the install command - i.e. arkmanager useconfig pve install. Any other commands - e.g. updating, starting, stopping, executing rcon commands - would be specified the same way - e.g. arkmanager useconfig pve update, arkmanager useconfig pve broadcast "hello"

arkfrance · 2015-09-28T22:26:21Z

ok thanks, i'm downloading the game, it won't be a problem if there will be twice shootgamer instances ? (PID)

klightspeed · 2015-09-29T01:22:11Z

As long as you have enough resources (RAM, CPU cores, HDD space), put the ARK server instances in separate directories, and specify different ports for the different instances, there should be no issue with running multiple instances on the same computer.

arkfrance · 2015-09-29T13:12:25Z

thanks it works :) just one more question about de "-" value like "-log -server" it will be available on 1.4 ?

klightspeed · 2015-09-29T13:19:06Z

With 1.4, to specify an option such as -log, add arkflag_log=true to arkmanager.cfg.

With PR #206, to specify an option such as -StructureDestructionTag=DestroySwampSnowStructures, add arkopt_StructureDestructionTag=DestroySwampSnowStructures to arkmanager.cfg.

arkfrance · 2015-09-29T13:33:53Z

what's the good link to install 1.4 ?

curl -sL http://git.io/vtf5N | sudo bash -s steam

this is for 1.3

Atriusftw · 2015-09-30T05:02:42Z

@arkfrancegaming curl -sL http://git.io/vcZd7 | sudo bash -s steam 1.4-dev

arkfrance · 2015-09-30T09:02:12Z

thanks, there is a small problem when i install it :

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘’: No such file or directory

ne need to add 1.4-dev i think, without it's working fine

klightspeed · 2015-09-30T09:40:09Z

That error shouldn't cause any harm if you've already previously installed ARK Server Tools - it is a typo in the line that tries to create the directory that holds the Debian systemd arkmanager.init script.

arkfrance · 2015-09-30T10:02:41Z

allright thanks

got a issue for you :

arkmanager useconfig pve saveworld
Error connecting to server at -e line 31.

arkmanager useconfig pve status
Server running: Yes
Server online: Yes

i guess the useconfig saveworld doesn't work for now

Atriusftw · 2015-09-30T10:45:14Z

Is RCON configured?

The saveworld command uses rconcmd.

ark_RCONEnabled="True"
ark_RCONPort="32330" (Change the port accordingly and make sure it's forwarded correctly.)

arkfrance · 2015-09-30T10:57:44Z

arkmanager useconfig pve rconcmd "saveworld"
Error connecting to server at -e line 31.
ark_RCONEnabled="True"
ark_RCONPort="32331"

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 32331 -j ACCEPT

klightspeed · 2015-09-30T11:10:10Z

~~You don't have RCONPort in GameUserSettings.ini do you?~~ Sorry, the server overwrites this setting in GameUserSettings.ini.

~~Looks almost like some sort of bug (or "feature") in the ARK server that prevents the second server from opening the RCON port.~~

Make sure that ServerAdminPassword is set. If ServerAdminPassword is unset, then the RCON port will not be opened.

arkfrance · 2015-09-30T13:12:48Z

it's already set but it's the same as the main cfg, any problem with that ?

arkfrance · 2015-09-30T13:20:21Z

it seems to be a rcon connexion problem i can't connect on port 32331

klightspeed · 2015-09-30T13:33:56Z

I found no problem with the passwords being the same.

I was able to duplicate the RCON port not opening by not having the ServerAdminPassword set, and was able to resolve it on my install by setting ServerAdminPassword in GameUserSettings.ini or ark_ServerAdminPassword in the arkmanager config.

arkfrance · 2015-09-30T13:36:58Z

find out the problem, the serveradminpassword in GameUserSettings.ini is not the same as the cfg
i will try again

arkfrance · 2015-09-30T13:55:46Z

still can't connect, i tried with an rcon software

1st server

ark_RCONEnabled="True"
ark_QueryPort="27015"
ark_RCONPort="32330"
ark_Port="7778"

2nd server
ark_RCONEnabled="True"
ark_QueryPort="27016"
ark_RCONPort="32331"
ark_Port="7777"

arkfrance · 2015-10-02T09:57:41Z

still can't connect to the rcon second server

arkmanager useconfig pve broadcast "test"
Error connecting to server at -e line 28.

what command do you use to open port 32331 ?

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 32331 -j ACCEPT ?

thanks

klightspeed · 2015-10-02T10:16:03Z

Please make sure your config is valid.

Does the problem still occur if you comment out ark_ServerPassword="" from both of your config files?

Does the problem still occur if you start the problem server first?

Does the problem still occur if you start the server directly? Since #206, the server command-line is written to /var/log/arktools/arkserver.log. e.g.:

Running /home/steam/ARK/ShooterGame/Binaries/Linux/ShooterGameServer TheIsland\?MaxPlayers=10\?OnlyAdminRejoinAsSpectator=true\?Port=7777\?QueryPort=27016\?RCONEnabled=True\?RCONPort=32330\?ServerAdminPassword=keyboardcat\?listen -log -server

arkfrance · 2015-10-02T10:24:48Z

that's my arkserver.log looks like

i tried another rcon port

12:00:54: start

klightspeed · 2015-10-02T10:26:05Z

~~That says that two servers are running from the same path.~~ Sorry, the "Bad PID" is probably due to a restart.

Have you tried any of my suggestions:

Does the problem still occur if you comment out ark_ServerPassword="" from both of your config files?
Does the problem still occur if you start the problem server first?
Does the problem still occur if you start the server directly?

arkfrance · 2015-10-02T10:31:33Z

one is from /game/ARK and the second one /game/PVE

arkfrance · 2015-10-02T10:43:29Z

thanks i will try that :)

arkfrance · 2015-10-02T21:30:12Z

nope the problem still here, it's look like the game isn't using the rcon port

klightspeed · 2015-10-02T22:39:54Z

So the problem stays with that server even if you start it first or start it alone, and it still occurs if you start the server directly?

Do you have any custom settings in GameUserSettings.ini? It sounds like there may be a setting in there that the game doesn't like.

Try removing GameUserSettings.ini and restarting the problem server. If that still doesn't work, try removing all of the config files from ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer and restarting the problem server.

arkfrance · 2015-10-02T22:59:46Z

great ! it's working with a default gameusersettings.ini, i need to find now which command is the problem.

EDIT : A MOD WAS THE PROBLEM

One more thing, in 1.4 when i use a arkmanager update --warn, it doesn't say "saving world" but it does

And when i use arkmanager upgrade-tools
arkmanager v1.4: Checking for updates...
A hotfix is available for v1.3. Do you wish to install it?

it downgrade the tools.

klightspeed · 2015-10-02T23:20:01Z

One more thing, in 1.4 when i use a arkmanager update --warn, it doesn't say "saving world" but it does

The server automatically saves the world when it is shut down gracefully. The --saveworld option is just an option for the paranoid.

And when i use arkmanager upgrade-tools
arkmanager v1.4: Checking for updates...
A hotfix is available for v1.3. Do you wish to install it?

That suggests that you have arkstChannel set to master.

arkfrance · 2015-10-02T23:40:01Z

how can i change that ?

klightspeed · 2015-10-02T23:55:29Z

how can i change that ?

How do you change what? Automatically saving the world when the server is shut down gracefully, or changing the arkstChannel?

arkfrance · 2015-10-02T23:56:27Z

sorry, the arkstchannel to automatically get the latest 1.4 version

klightspeed · 2015-10-02T23:57:19Z

Change arkstChannel="master" to arkstChannel="1.4-dev" in /etc/arkmanager/arkmanager.cfg

arkfrance · 2015-10-03T00:04:53Z
