IP changed, Cant setup RCON to update info - Project Zomboid
I run a pz server and the public IP changed. I was looking for a way to get the lisitng with the old IP updated to the new ip
Old: https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/zomboid/30495390
New: https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/zomboid/31282326
I attempted to setup RCON on both old and new listing but consistently get the message "Connection Error
Unable to connect to server. This usually means the RCON port is incorrect."
Rcon port is set to 16261 as i already use Rcon locally to run auto restart scripts
Any assistance in finding out how to restore the listng status from the old server listing to the new server listing with the updated IP address

Open your firewall for the RCON port,
Local VS Internet is where your issue is,
The error message would also state it's a firewall/incorrect port.
We can not restore listing status,
we only support 1 method for Server IP update - Via RCON.
Your Rank though is calculated over 7 days of player time data - https://learn.battlemetrics.com/article/41-how-is-server-rank-calculated
How is server rank calculated?
Server ranks are calculated one of two ways: If the game provides a way to retrieve the player list, we calculate rank based on the average number of hours play
Also note - Your port should be different to your query port. that can cause issue's.
I see you stated your RCON port is the same as your game/query port?
Yes i currently use gorcon rcon client to execute local .bat files that automate scheduled server messages before executing a restart.
I will test out changing the port. That's probably my current problem for setting up the rcon with battlemetrics. Current RCON client im using just works for what i needed it for
It's proberly not as strick either.
