Server Version#: 1.41.3.9232  
Player Version#: 4.141.0

I tried to start from scratch by deleting my previous servers and all info related to them. When I installed the new server, it never got to the PUBLISH stage. Now I can’t watch anything on my server. Any ideas of what I may have done wrong? Can anyone help through TeamViewer?

Did you follow this guide to start from scratch (wiping the old install and its data/configuration?

Are you connecting to the new install locally?

Yes, I followed that guide. I’m not sure what you mean by connecting to the new install locally.

„Locally“ refers to connecting from the same machine or the same network/subnet.

It looks like Remote Access keeps crapping out.
