thank you for that and here is the aliveserver log: http://pastebin.com/rLts09sg

thank you I will try it out and report back, to to make sure is that the mod version from PWS or the server version ?

copy that thank you

DL'd latest version of @AliveServer, checked version of @Alive which I DL'd from this site (0.9.7.1504081) and still nothing shows up in war room

hmmm i thought thats what i posted in the initial post. Where would i find this logs default location?

Only .log file i can find anywhere is the Alive.log http://pastebin.com/FAQtSgpM

Apparently it is set to write to localAppData but the log is not in there ... I think i read something about this location not being suitable for rented servers (gameservers.com ) if this is so what next ?

Sorry for my ignorance I am fairly new to all this. what should i change it to? how would i even tell it where to go ?

thank you I will report back

/sigh ... ok I changed write location to fileName="F:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\AliveServer.log"

Still nothing shows up

just to recap I am using a hosted server from gameservers.com
