Common Issues

Most Common Installation Issues

Not everything will be listed here; but here are some of the most common installation issues when installing Athena.

• Most Common Installation Issues

  • Bad Database Connection

  • ./altv-server: Permission denied

  • Failed to connect to HTTP Server

Bad Database Connection

Uncaught exception: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 0.0.0.0:27017

This means that the MongoDB service is not currently running and your server does not have a connection that can reach the Database. This can be resolved by starting the MongoDB service.

• Linux MongoDB Instructions

• Windows MongoDB Instructions

If all else fails, configure AthenaConfig.json with a connection string from MongoDB Atlas (Google It).

./altv-server: Permission denied

This means that your linux terminal does not have execution rights to run the altv-server binary. This can be resolved by running a chmod command against the server binary.

Run in Linux Terminal

chmod +x ./altv-server

Failed to connect to HTTP Server

This can be any number of things.

If you are trying to connect locally instead of doing 127.0.0.1:7788 for the direct connection, do 0.0.0.0:7788.

If you are trying to connect externally then you did not port forward.
