# RageCoop+ ZeroTier Fix — Server Starts but Kicks Players / MasterServer Errors

I finally got my RageCoop+ server working with ZeroTier after running into a couple of issues, so I'm posting what worked for me in case it helps someone else.

### The problem

My server would start, but I was getting:

`Access to the path ...\Server\Resources\Temp\Client is denied`

and the server would shut down.

After fixing that, I also had a ZeroTier error:

`ZeroTier not ready: ... authtoken.secret not found or readable`

### What worked for me

**1. Move the RageCoop server out of OneDrive**

I moved my server from my OneDrive Documents folder to a normal folder such as:

`C:\RageCoop+\Server`

This alone didn't completely fix the problem, but it removed OneDrive from the equation.

**2. Fix the Temp\Client issue**

Inside:

`Server\Resources\Temp\`

there was an empty `Client` folder.

Renaming it to:

`Client_old`

allowed the server to start instead of throwing the Access Denied error.

I left the renamed folder alone rather than recreating the empty `Client` folder.

**3. Configure ZeroTier correctly**

In `Settings.xml`, enable ZeroTier:

`<UseZeroTier>true</UseZeroTier>`

Then put the **actual/current ZeroTier Network ID** of your ZeroTier network into:

`<ZeroTierNetworkID>YOUR_NETWORK_ID</ZeroTierNetworkID>`

Make sure this is the Network ID of the network you're actually using. Don't copy an example ID from someone else's configuration.

**4. Keep KickSpamming disabled while testing**

I temporarily used:

`<KickSpamming>false</KickSpamming>`

so the server wouldn't kick me while I was troubleshooting the connection.

**5. Connect using the ZeroTier IP**

Once the server was running, I connected using the server PC's ZeroTier IP and RageCoop port:

`10.x.x.x:4499`

The exact IP will be different for everyone.

My server then worked and I was able to stay connected.

### Important

I still saw this error:

`MasterServer list check error: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: s`

However, the server was still running and direct ZeroTier connections worked.

So this appears to be separate from the actual multiplayer connection.

**This is just a workaround that worked on my setup, not necessarily a universal fix.** If you're trying it, make sure you use your own ZeroTier Network ID and IP.

Hope this saves someone else the hours of troubleshooting I went through. 😂
