Hello! So I've been working at getting a server manager up and running for about 6 hours now so I'm just getting pretty flustered right now xP Didn't help that about 4 of those hours were used working on one that I found out was completely and utterly dead xP

In a nutshell, I've got RAT going and set up, Telnet and Local Server show green but when I try to actually do anything, nothing shows up. I check the RAT Logs and I get the following:

2017-08-08 22:44:19 ----------------------------------
Current Time: 8/8/2017 10:44:19 PM
Thrown by: Void .ctor(System.String, Int32)
Method: telnet.LogException
Message: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 10.0.0.50:8080
Stack Trace:
at System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient..ctor(String hostname, Int32 port)
at RAT.telnet.connect()
----------------------------------

I've been having this problem all night and have no idea where I'm going wrong. I should have the correct ports forwarded to get around the issue and, hell, turned my firewall off to see if it was just being an overprotective momma bird but still nothing. Any advice? I'm also sorry if this is just some stupid simple thing that I'm just missing, this is the first time I've actually tried setting up and running my own dedicated server.

Thank you!
 
Hey there, first, no worries. We all have trouble doing something. ;)

Second, don't worry, this is fixable. =)

So... it looks like you are attempting to connect on the Control panel port, not the telnet port. I say this for two reasons. #1, the telnet will go green, because you've connected successfully to "A" service. Second, port 8080 is the default control panel port.

So, first thing first.

If you're running the server on the same machine as you are running RAT. Make sure that the telnet settings on the local tab, match the settings on the Remote tab.

That ultimate is the issue, you're not actually connecting to the Telnet port, but the control panel port. If you need more help, you can reply here, or jump in Discord and if you have any screen sharing software (Skype, Teamviewer, etc.), I can help ya out that way too. =)
