Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/2311

When i try to start / debug teeworlds with ./twserver debug , it starts but cannot load the /home/twserver/serverfiles/twserver.cfg.

Error:
[5cc38b11][console]: failed to open '/home/twserver/serverfiles/twserver.cfg'
[5cc38b11][console]: Info: only relative paths starting from the ones you specify in 'storage.cfg' are allowed

The server starts with the name 'unnamed server' and i can't connect to it.
I hope the follwing debug and my postdetail will help. :)

PS:
All dependencies are correctly installed, got a working csgoserver (linuxgsm) on another user.
Nothing else to use that machine for.
