Need a helping hand with setting up a server
Hey long story short my family and friends are trying to set up the server and with me trying to host via Nitrado. I copied the Server.ini provided in the mod description but to be honest I'm not sure where the issue lies wether its the host, Nitrado or my end. I'm willing to post screens or txt files to show where I'm at.

First off I'd recommend starting the process over as I've just updated the collection - Old preset files will no longer work. Here's the new server files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oFmtI2lHYTYmIrLVQmd-TCOjlZKOkg7e/view?usp=sharing

Unfortunately I don't know much about servers hosted by 3rd parties, hopefully someone else can help with this.

I'm getting this Server log error. Anyone see anything what could be messing up?

Hi, I also have an issue with installing mods on the server. I'm using the Nitrado hosting service and I'm using the new files that "Deathstar" provided (version 1-5).

I have this following error :

<.....Some debug......> LOG : General , 1697299612348> 94,628,131,535> IsoMetaGrid.Create: finished scanning directories in 0.064 seconds LOG : General , 1697299612348> 94,628,131,536> IsoMetaGrid.Create: begin loading LOG : General , 1697299612352> 94,628,131,539> LuaEventManager: adding unknown event "OnPreDistributionMerge" ERROR: General , 1697299612352> 94,628,131,540> GameServer.main> Exception thrown java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "se.krka.kahlua.vm.KahluaTable.rawget(Object)" because "zombie.Lua.LuaManager.env" is null at LuaEventManager.AddEvent line:417.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !

Could be a permission issue. I've done some cursory research on this issue and all I found in relation to using Nitrado was people saying don't use Nitrado for Project Zomboid. Hopefully there's someone who successfully got a server running using that service who could help.

So in summary it's. Nitrado isn't a viable host anymore. I'm trying G-portal now so wish me luck?

Hah, again that was just the result of a quick Google session on my part. The server files I'm providing are for hosted servers and I have no way of knowing which dedicated hosts play nicely with modded PZ servers - Take everything with a grain of salt!
In any case, I appreciate any feedback about how your particular setup is working with my list!

If anybody encounters this crash you need to increase your inotify limits. https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=000020048
