Punkbuster HTTP server does not bind to IP

[Mxyzptlk]

Anyone else tried enabling Punkbuster's HTTP admin interface?
If i set IP and port CVARs, etqwded.x86 still seems to bind to '*.PORT' instead of 'IP.PORT'. We can work around the problem but using a unique port across all IP aliases on the server, but IMHO it would be nicely consistent if PB could bind (and even better, bind to the same IP as the game port does).

On our server i cant find a Punkbuster.cfg so i cant try it sry. Where is your pb.cfg located ? So i made a cfg to test all i will post my result later !

Unless you set fs_savepath, I believe '.etqw' (ie: hidden directory) will be used for save files in your server tree. I'm guessing here, but that's probably $HOME/.etqw/ or current dir of process at launch time. In there you'll find pb/pbsv.cfg, etc.

PB has its own ip/port settings for the web frontend.

If you start the server so you can access the console write this in the text box and press enter for each command:

pb_sv_httpport port
pb_sv_httpaddr serverip
pb_sv_httpkey password
pb_sv_writecfg

now your should be able to access via browser.

Exactly. Too bad pb_sv_httpaddr doesn't BIND the listner to that IP. Hence the whole reason for my post -- to report the problem.

I'm able to replicate this behaviour on my server. I'd recommend creating a trouble ticket at http://www.evenbalance.com/troubleticket/new_ticket.php?game=etqw

I would not use the PB http admin tool. It has a long history of problems in other games and doesn't log usage. EB themselves suggested using pbucon instead.
