Password issues

[drew555]

Hi folks.

I'm having issues...

I keep getting an incorrect password error message when I start lapper... but the passwords match.

Is there something else that may cause the same error?

The password I use to set up the server (via 'start new host') is exactly the same as the one in LFSLapper.lpr and default_1.ini - and 8 characters long.

I'm not using the dedicated server and lapper version 5.8.4.1

Here's extracts from the files...

LFSLapper.lpr

#################
#General options#
#################

$Password = "password"; # Put in the admin password used on the LFS Server

$StoredValueDbs = "storedvalue"; # Name of the database in which additional values are stored


default_1.ini

$password = "password";
$configFile = "LFSLapper.lpr";
$superUsersFile = "superusers.txt";

Thank you :D

password = the default one set by lapper so it cant be used :P

Changed the password to poobag, and I'm still getting this in LFS:

InSim : password does not match your multiplayer admin password

And this in the Lapper command line window:

Lapper instance abort. Look at log file :./Testserver/logs/127.0.0.1-29999-ERR.log

Mean anything to anyone?

:edit:

I've removed the passwords altogether now, and it seems to be working - but I'm obviously going to want a password :(

:edit2:

lol.... when I try to !start the Lapper.... it tells me:

Only for admin!

And I've put my username into the admin.txt file, and the superusers.txt file :(

Use stadard char in password and no quote or double quote

[drew555]

LFSLapper.lpr:

$Password = poobag; # Put in the admin password used on the LFS Server

default_1.ini:

$password = poobag;

Still not working - back to the InSIm telling me that the password is wrong :(

I'm sure this is something really simple :D

[Gai-Luron]

Yes really simple if you try to think a little. put your password into double quote

$password = "poobag";

[drew555]

$password = "poobag";

I'm a little confused.

But I'm going to try it anyway :D

[drew555]

Nope, my problem persists.

It appears that:

Without a password -

LFSLapper.lpr: ""
default_1.ini: ""
server:

Lapper connects, and then aborts.

Also that although I have tried all these password/ file combinations (and more):

LFSLapper.lpr: password
default_1.ini: password
server: password

LFSLapper.lpr: "password"
default_1.ini: "password"
server: password

LFSLapper.lpr: poobag
default_1.ini: poobag
server: poobag

LFSLapper.lpr: "poobag"
default_1.ini: "poobag"
server: poobag

LFS and Lapper can't agree on it :(

What am I missing?

[Gai-Luron]

your admin password in lfs is wrong

Thank you Gai :-)
