Server can not connect to the Database.
if you are running a dedicated server, have u installed MariaDB etd??

One problem solved.
Tables in DB was not created, bad tutorial :evil:

But now server running (I hope), big console window filled with yellow and green texts, telling something about Forest_Stretching every few minutes.

When I try to connect from client only message "Waiting for server..."
and on server no new line of text.
I try "Direct connect" server address "127.0.0.1" or "127.0.0.1:28000".
no difference few minutes of waiting and then server timed out.
config: <port>28000</port>
Firewall ports open, and in next test firewall disabled.

This may take upto 30mins depending on the specs of the machine its running on.

I have relatively powerful PC.
You mean (yellow) text at end? after a minute?
"WARN 2015-04-09 07:13:11.619 {03} <loadAIs> PassabilityWorldMap::Initialize finished: 41.06"
Spoiler

or
the green one that appear two minutes after
"HACK 2015-04-09 07:17:46.574 {00} <NOSCOPE> Steam initialized"
Spoiler

Its freeze on that with usage 0% CPU and 2GB RAM.
and after few minutes Forest_Stretching appear, but I can not join.
No new messages when I try to connect.

There must be some stupid mistake in my server.

The "missing file" error message indicates that your game directory is incomplete or corrupt. Please reinstall the game with steamcmd in a new directory and use the "validate" parameter to validate the new installation.

The namespace error message may be connected to a faulty function in your database. Reinstall the database with HeidiSQL and use the "in one go" option during batch processing the new.sql file.
