Dedicated Server Error Could not write private key

Post by DeepPlowFarm »

Purchased FS19 from Giants and downloaded the image file.
Mounted image, ran setup, launched game entered activation key. All good so far.

Reviewed the dedicatedserver.xml to get the server password..
Launched DedicatedServer.exe and get notice that
- Error: Could not write private key
- Error: Could not wirte X500 certificate

Initializing mod download manager finished but cant log into the management webpage.

Hi,

The certificate key is not an issue, you need to specify a working certificate. I personally did not look at this part for now, as i'm running it locally.
You may need it if you want a https connexion over the web admin page (for remote access), *TO ADMIN : correct me if i'm wrong, I don't want to spread misinformation*

Try to launch the dedicatedserver.exe as admin maybe it needs more rights.
Personnally, when I launch the dedi.exe, I wait a bit to let it start, then I can access the web admin page using the credentials specified in the xml.

Did you set up your NAT or your Port forwarding to allow access to the web page ?

Cheers.
