[cod] Punkbuster server trouble!

Hello,

The first thing I would recommend is to NOT run from the same directory -
even if you are using different cfg files. 
You will run into a lot more issues than just PB. 

My suggestion is to separate the two game servers first and foremost.

And as stated by Tyson... there is a hidden .pb folder found in the root
directory of the game path. 

Depending on how you connect and manage your server will depend on how you
are able to view these files.

Let us know how you do.

Later
Sparker

Check for a hidden .pb folder in the games path. You might be messing
with the wrong folder on the server.

Also make sure you explicately run the pbsvc.exe as admin on your local pc.
