User story

Allow server to start with updated syntax

Game

7 Days to Diec

Linux distro

Ubuntu 22.04

Command

command: start

Further information

The default sdtdserver.xml had <property name="WebDashboard....". The Web Admin console would not enable. Corrected it to the proper syntax of "ControlPanel...". Tried to start the server and it will not start but the details switch now shows the web interface is now enabled. Console log shows below. Server config files area has current syntax for the sdtd config file.

Relevant log output

ERR Error parsing Configfile property 'ControlPanelEnabled': Unknown config option.
INF Make sure your configfile is updated the current server version!
INF Startup aborted due to the given error in server configfile

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open ../serverfiles/sdtdserver.xml
  2. Change WebDashBoardEnabled to ControlPanelEnabled
  3. Set value to true
  4. Change WebDashboardPort to ControlPanelPort
  5. Change WebDashboardUrl to ControlPanelPassword
  6. Set value to a password.
  7. ./sdtdserver start

When will you fix the problem with running this software in Docker containers on Debian OS?

The latest experimental version of version 1, and other latest experimental versions such a problem occurs that because of this nothing starts, people complain very much, I advise you to fix this, as it will lead to bad consequences, all this does not work in docker containers on a Debian system, I changed both the port and the password, I changed everything, your software is used for people who just want to play your game

@karenmcd commented on GitHub (Aug 6, 2024):

ya, same error when I enable it

I even have to remove the configuration lines about the web interface completely to get the server to even start. commenting them out caused there to be syntax errors? idk?!

Once I removed it the server finally started successfully.
