## Could not communicate with [IP:Port] | Reached maximum retry attempts to send RCon data to server
### Could not communicate with [IP:Port] | Reached maximum retry attempts to send RCon data to server
This is always a configuration error.

## Commands not responding
### Commands not responding
**Make sure your game log file is being created and log sync is turned on**
- Each server must have a unique log file name set in the configuration via the `g_log` dvar
- Example — `set g_log "my_server_hostname_mp.log"`
- `g_logsync` must be set to always flush (1) for IW4x, (2) for T6
- Example — `set g_logsync 1`
**Make sure your game log file file is NOT readonly**
**Additional troubleshooting**
**Certain games running on WINE on Linux that use [Windows short file path/name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.3_filename) will require you to enter the log path manually.**
**This is because IW4MAdmin uses the native filesystem which has no concept of Windows short paths, whereas the WINE compatibility layer supports Windows short paths**
**If you are running IW4MAdmin remotely, you must setup the [game log server](https://github.com/RaidMax/IW4M-Admin/wiki/Game-Log-Server) python script**
**If you entered the log path manually, ensure it's correct (Linux paths are case sensitive)**

## Could not get the dvar value for version
### Could not get the dvar value for version
**This means you selected the wrong parser or the game server port you entered is incorrect**
- Ensure the port listed in the IW4MAdmin error message matches the port of your game server
- You can verify this by entering `net_port` or `get net_port` (for Plutonium T6/IW5) into the server console and comparing it to the error message port
- Ensure the `EventParserVersion` and `RconParserVersion` are identical in `IW4MAdminSettings.json` and they correspond to the game server you are hosting
- You can verify this by entering `net_port` into the server console and comparing it to the port printed in the error message
- Ensure the `EventParserVersion` and `RconParserVersion` are identical in `IW4MAdminSettings.json` and they correspond to the game server you are hosting. (see [Parser Names](https://github.com/RaidMax/IW4M-Admin/wiki/Configuration#parser-names) for valid parser values)

## How do I add more servers after IW4MAdmin is already configured?
### How do I add more servers after IW4MAdmin is already configured?
Open up `IW4MAdminSettings.json`, scroll down to the `Servers` section and add a new entry.
For a list of acceptable RCon/event parsers, see [Parser Names](https://github.com/RaidMax/IW4M-Admin/wiki/Configuration#parser-names).
**`EventParser` and `RConParser` should be the same.**
