Troubleshooting Your Project Zomboid Server

Here are some Project Zomboid server issues and how to fix them.

No Space Left On Device

This is a bug that can occur with Project Zomboid, regardless of how much space is left on the server, resolve this by doing the following:

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Files.
  3. 3
    Navigate to .cache/Server/ and open pzserver.ini.
  4. 4
    Find BackupsOnStart and set it to false, then click save.
  5. 5
    Start your server.

Incompatible Or Conflicting Mods

  • Undo your latest changes, this includes removing mods.
  • Make sure all of your mods are compatible with the current version of your Project Zomboid server.
  • Double-check that your mods aren't missing any dependencies.
  • Remove all of your mods.
  • Begin testing mods and their dependencies one at a time.

Out Of Memory Crashing

The more mods, and the more friends you have connected, the more resources your server will need to run.

You can check the crash logs by going to Console, then scrolling down to Recent Activity and clicking View audit logs. If it reports the server crashed due to running out of RAM and this is happening frequently you will need to upgrade your server.

  • We only recommend upgrading when it's necessary to match the demands of your server.
  • It's also possible that one of your mods has a Memory Leak. In that case you will need to remove mods until you find out which mod is causing the problem.
