tfs.exe process gets killed instantly after running when trying to get my server online

[Yamo]

Hey,

I am trying to make a server and I am having trouble when running the .exe file which takes the server online.

Done:
- I portforwarded correctly.
- My static IP adress is configured correctly.
- Downloaded the OTX server from this post, including the .dll files and the theforgottenserver.exe file (both x64 obviously)
- schema.sql is exported in the phpmyadmin db.
- in config.lua my settings at MySQL are

mysqlHost = "localhost"
mysqlUser = "root"
mysqlPass = "mypassword"
mysqlDatabase = "nameofmydb"
mysqlPort = 3306
mysqlSock = ""

Spoiler: Images of my configuration (Sorry some is in Dutch)

Installed Visual C++ Redistributable 2015

Router port forward settings

My static IP

Imported database to phpmyadmin

config.lua settings

When I run the theforgottenserver.exe file, the process automaticly gets killed and I have no clue how to fix it.

Note:
Before I setup the database correctly, the theforgottenserver.exe process first showed an error it couldn't connect to the database before getting killed.

I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance,

Yamo

Open the .exe file through a command line program.

If you're on Windows open cmd and type:

cd "the directory into which the .exe file is located at."

then just type the name the of the .exe and press enter. There, now you can probably see the error message if any.

Apparently the \data folder didn't copy while forking the distribution which caused the problem. Awkward...
