Port swapping - I can't get it fixed :-(((

[[ZSZ]Evil_Dragon]

Hi, please can someone help me!

We have a server rented at Clanservers.com (now Gameservers.com), at the start we had the prob that the server was swapping ports, so I added

bRestartServerOnPortSwap=False
under
[IpDrv.TcpipConnection]

All was fine for a few weeks but the other night this stupid server all of a sudden started crashing right after restart, 16 times in a row with errors like this:

Log: UDP recvfrom error: 11 from any ip following here
Exit: Exiting.
Uninitialized: Name subsystem shut down
Uninitialized: Allocation checking disabled
Uninitialized: Log file closed, Mon Aug 14 12:35:56 2006

Then all of a sudden it started running fine again, for 24 hours and this morning the same thing happened again. Now I had 50+ crashs in a row right at the start, and the last errors looked like this.

Log: UDP recvfrom error: 11 from 0.0.0.0:0
Exit: Exiting.
Uninitialized: Name subsystem shut down
Uninitialized: Allocation checking disabled
Uninitialized: Log file closed, Mon Aug 14 12:34:12 2006

Now it is running again but keeps bounding to the wrong port:

ScriptLog: UdpServerQuery(crt): Port 7781 successfully bound.
Log: Resolving unreal.epicgames.com...
Log: Resolving master0.gamespy.com...
Log: UDP recvfrom error: 11 from 0.0.0.0:0
Log: Resolved unreal.epicgames.com (207.135.145.19)
ScriptLog: UdpServerUplink: Master Server is unreal.epicgames.com:27900
ScriptLog: UdpServerUplink: Port 7782 successfully bound.
Log: Resolved master0.gamespy.com (207.38.11.34)
ScriptLog: UdpServerUplink: Master Server is master0.gamespy.com:27900
ScriptLog: UdpServerUplink: Port 7782 successfully bound.

I know this is a long post, but I'm at a loss...
Please, can someone help me here, Clanservers obviously can't.

Since I assume it's required here is my .ini, meanwhile I added the portswap thing to other sections also and entered port 7779, but nothing seems to help:

Check with "ps -aux" if another UT is not running on your system. If yes, then first kill that and after start your server again.

[[ZSZ]Evil_Dragon]

I'm sorry, but what is "ps-aux"

[[ZSZ]Evil_Dragon]

ok - found out what it is...but like I said it's a rented server so I guess I can't do that myself, can I?

[[BSC]MasterJohnny]

If you have ssh access (Putty or something) then you can.

[lism]

I think these are done by a control panel, and don't allow SSH access.

Try hit stop 2 times first and restart the server.

[[ZSZ]Evil_Dragon]

Thank you so much!!! This was actually the problem!

After I did a big rant in their forum they were able to check this within minutes and actually there was an old version not properly exited.

I'll keep this in mind and also next time try it with hitting stop twice before restarting.

Thanks again - you guys are just great!!!

reinstalling the 451 patch files fixed this issue for me.
