Hello,
I followed your guide on how to get the server set up, however, after starting the FESL Server and the game, I cannot log in. I attempted to login using the supplied admin credentials. The issue I am having is the game sits at "Contacting EA Servers" and I cannot get any further.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Heyo,
Is your hostsfile edited with your computers current IP? Post the content of the hostfile here so i can take a look.

In the hosts file, I used my external IP. I obtained that from this site: www.whatsmyip.org/Here is what my hostfile says (with the last 3 numbers censored): 68.60.95.xxx bf2142-pc.fesl.ea.com 68.60.95.xxx gpcm.gamespy.com 68.60.95.xxx stella.available.gamespy.com 68.60.95.xxx eapusher.dise.se 68.60.95.xxx stella.prod.gamespy.com 68.60.95.xxx stella.ms5.gamespy.com 68.60.95.xxx ea.com 68.60.95.xxx gamespy.com 68.60.95.xxx messaging.ea.com 68.60.95.xxx fesl.ea.com 68.60.95.xxx gpsp.gamespy.com 68.60.95.xxx gamestats.gamespy.com 68.60.95.xxx stella.ms5.gamespy.com 68.60.95.xxx eapusher.dice.se 68.60.95.xxx stella.master.gamespy.com

is your goal to create a public server or one you could use in private and/or use with your friends in the same network (home if you will)? i know my guide tells you to use your external IP, which is doable, but not required if you want to use the server just at home or hamachi. In fact i would recommend you using hamachi over normal internet since you are running a old xampp version (because php 5.2) and old openssl vulnerable to heartbleed, you dont want to be open like that. in hamachi (or any other VPN "gaming" service) you can at least control the party you are with.
but for now, change stella.prod.gamespy.com to 127.0.0.1 and never change it back. ## 127.0.0.1 stella.prod.gamespy.com ##
Public server (if we call it that now) needs ports to be open in your router: TCP: 80,443,3389, 4711, 4712, 28910 TCP/UDP: 1024-1124, 6711, 18000, 18300, 27900, 29900 UDP: 1500-4999, 17567, 27901, 55123-55125
Also, put your LAN IP and WAN IP (68.60.95.xxx) in the database to be authorized to accept stats. Later you gaming server needs to listen to your WAN IP too, but lets fix the fesl thing first.

My goal would just to make a private server, it would be only me playing on it. I will try making those changes and let you know how it goes!

I was able to log in with the admin account so I played through a match and received awards! I did not forward those ports originally though, maybe was that the cause of the problem?
I noticed that the Admin Account was a level 1 also (which is weird), and that the stats saved to the database and did not show up in BFHQ.

Ports had nothing to do with that, your traffic never left your router to get this far. It was the one host file entry that should have pointed to your localhost, i corrected that in the guide too. If it is only you playing on it i would like to change your setup a bit. Change the IP in your hosts file to your PCs IP (and make sure the IP is static, so you dont have to change the hostsfile and the .exe every week) and recreate the .exe with your PCs IP. If you are using the standalone server, start it with your PCs IP too. Since your PCs IP is already in the database we only need to remove the WAN IP (68.60.95.xxx) from there. You may edit the ID of the entry to match up the counting order of 1, 2, 3... Start the servers up. Dont have the database open in your browser(close the tab if you opened it), just have apache, mysql and fesl run. To see your stats after a game you have to log out and lag back in, a click on the little gray icon in the top right corner brings you back to the soldier selection, this works also. The admin account is there for convenience, you can unlock all weapons for him with a command from this thread: prmp.boards.net/thread/17/instructions-unlocks-databaseSimply put "1" as the PlayerID and run the sql command. I personaly find it easier to work with a lvl 1 account, it can get all awards and you see the stat changes easier than having like 11.836 points moving about 13 up.

Hello, I followed your steps but got lost on Hexing the hidden IP. I used a official No DVD 1.5 Bf2142 exe because i found that if you change the URls to your IP for either bf2 or 2142 nothing works even with redirects set on both host and computer.
Therefor all URLs stay as they were befor since if you go to the URLs that were once used you get redirected to my host, Keep in mind that i am not using Xampp server or the Outdated OpenSSL as my Web server comes with its own OpenSSL, But basically same situation as others have posted. Cant create an account or login as it gets stuck contacting EA's Server.
I do currently have a BF2 master server and such on the same host all working fine, Both systems dont conflict with each other as i can run them both and still connect to my BF2 system.
My hosts.ics redirects
