#Transferring a host server to dedicated

I am trying to transfer a server I hosted to a dedicated server. I have my linux dedicated server set up and working, but no matter what I do, if I import the server.ini and the save file, it will still make a completely new save and a new character for me. My character still has their faction tag, however the world is different and it is a new character. I can't seem to get it to use the world I am importing. Anyone know a fix? Build 41.

My player data saved though

#

I was able to log on just now with my character in the same spot I logged off at last

#

And all my stuff

#

However the surrounding map was completely reset

#

The only possible causes I can think of are:
Its a windows host game transferring to a linux server

I changed the name of the save and the ini, but i made sure to modify player.db (hence why my character loaded), however I mightve missed some specific files I had to change? (the guide didnt really specify too much about changing the name).

Servers should work on both Windows and Linux. Did you make sure the server names match up on both of them? With the -servername parameter?
If yes, can you share the server-console.txt file from the Zomboid folder so I can check the logs for any problems?

I just looked into it, and it looks like my save file increased in size? On my host world, it has 137 items, on the server, its showing 885 files now

Dang I think the world file i was trying to upload was messed up 😅

I just went into backups and found the full save
