Server not listening/binding to port(s) even tho they are forwarded.

[Melonendk]

So, im trying to setup at server for a friend and his group, but im running into this issue after installing it with steamCMD and doing main setup it wont listen on the primary game ports. and the stream ports 27003/udp, 27020/udp and some others direct ports with steam are listed and booted up, but port no 27000/tcp or udp is being listened to.

To show how i see the ports active after my start sricpt is launched i run command `lsof` and it returns this.

na@game-1:~$ sudo lsof -i -P -n
COMMAND     PID            USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
....SSHD etc above.
java       4235              na  136u  IPv6  53976      0t0  TCP ipv4:25566 (LISTEN) #Minecraft server. which works.
AvorionSe 10192              na   18u  IPv4  78355      0t0  TCP ipv4:60497->extClientIp:27019 (ESTABLISHED)
AvorionSe 10192              na   19u  IPv4  78351      0t0  UDP ipv4:27020
AvorionSe 10192              na   36u  IPv4 117889      0t0  UDP ipv4:27003

 

This is the only Ports is listening to after running this file as `./start.sh`

#!/bin/bash
# --ip is to set the right interface which uses that ip instead of */* any interface.

./server.sh --galaxy-name techw --admin *** --datapath *** --ip *** --public 1 --listed 1 --use-steam-networking 1

 

Which then gives these output in log

na@game-1:/servers/avorion1$ ./start.sh

I have No idea why it wont listen on the port or what i can to for it for them to beable to get them to join.

i hope you can come with some inputs on how this can be solved bcz for me it seems weird or generally i wann rule out if its my server or avorions...
