Valheim server doesn't run after transferring the save from Windows machine to Linux server

[kallekoivisto]

I've got Valheim server working without issues with a fresh new world, but when I tried to move my existing world from my Windows gaming PC to the Linux server, the server starts shortly but stops after some seconds.

Steps I did:

• Stopped the server
• Copied the .db and .fwl files from AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds (Windows) to ~/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/worlds (Linux)
• Edited the lgsm/config-lgsm/vhserver/vhserver.cfg file with the following content:

##################################
####### Instance Settings ########
##################################
# PLACE INSTANCE SETTINGS HERE
## These settings will apply to a specific instance.

#### Game Server Settings ####

## Predefined Parameters | https://docs.linuxgsm.com/configuration/start-parameters
servername="sokerihumala"
# Minimum password length is 5.
serverpassword="*****"
port="2456"
gameworld="sokerihumala"
public="1"

## Server Parameters | https://docs.linuxgsm.com/configuration/start-parameters#additional-parameters
startparameters="-name '${servername}' -password ${serverpassword} -port ${port} -world ${gameworld} -public ${public}"

• Then I just started the server with ./vhserver start:

[  OK  ] Starting vhserver: sokerihumala

• Then I observed that when I ran ./vhserver details immediately I get Status: ONLINE, but if I ran it again right after the server is already Status: OFFLINE. So it's only on for a few seconds.

I don't know what is going on and why the server doesn't stay up. I'm also unable to find any useful logs or at least anything showing any errors. Where should I look?

Nevermind.. Got it working. For some reason my 5-letter password was invalid for that transferred world. The same password was fine on the original Windows machine and also in the fresh world on the Linux machine. I added characters and the server stays on now :)
