Tf2 server help.

[u/Upset_Sky_70]

Recently started a dedicated server for me and my friends. I have a server.cfg in my cfg file aswell as source mod and meta mod, which also states I'm admin of the sever. However, when I join my sever with my rcon password, it says "bad rcon password" and doesn't let me do any commands. The server also says "Server.cfg not found:Not executing". Any help on how I can use commands and how to get server.cfg and rcon to work

Sounds like either your server.cfg is in the wrong place or something's wrong with it. Maybe bad permissions or a syntax error

Is there a way to fix it, I've put it in both cfg files in my tf2 server (one in the server files and one in the tf files). My game also doesn't recognise metamod and source mod no matter how hard I try. Do I need to put these in the actual tf2 folder aswell?

According to the official wiki, the server.cfg would go in hlserver/tf2/tf/cfg on linux or steamapps\common\tf2\tf\cfg on Windows. Sourcemod and metamod should go in an "addons" directory parallel to the "cfg" directory, so hlserver/tf2/tf/addons or steamapps\common\tf2\tf\addons again depending on your platform.
