Server Issues with Mods and Administration

Recommended Posts

My friend and I have been working on getting a server to work with us with mods for 9 hours and its starting to get a bit frustrating.  We feel like there is nothing for us to do.

So basically one of the many issues we are having is that in the CONFIG_server.cfg file that I have, it does not appear to be registering the name of the server i have input, the server password or the admin password and when i enable them.  These lead to other issues, such as not being able to access the Game Add On tab for the server so as to enable the mods once in game.  If someone would let me know as to what I should be doing or what I have done wrong that would be great.

Edit: This might be the potential issue because I was having the same problem with my .bat file

The file is named CONFIG_server.cfg.txt so it isn't registering the .cfg as the file type??? it still says it's a .txt file even after I clarified while saving to not restrict it to only .txt 

This sounds like it might be the issue and I would be super happy if anyone could shed light on how to get it to stop making it .cfg.txt and just .cfg

Edit of Edit: So i fixed the file type, server still doesn't recognize the name of server, admin password and normal password, will keep trying!!!
