Your DayZ server profile folder is the "profiles" folder in your DayZ server root directory: open it in the File Manager to add mod config folders and read BattlEye logs and crash logs.
DayZ writes its server profile to this folder. That's why mods that need a config (admin tools, traders and so on) expect their folder here, and why it's the first place to look when your server crashes.
How to open the DayZ server profile folder
- Log in to the game panel and select your DayZ server.
- Press File Manager.
- In your DayZ server root directory (the folder the File Manager opens in), find the folder named
profilesand open it.
For big files or many files at once, connect over SFTP instead and open the same profiles folder: see How to connect to your server via SFTP/FTP.
What the profiles folder is for
- Mod config folders: this folder is where to place all mod cfg folders, for example
profiles/Zomberryfor Zomberry Admin Tools. - BattlEye logs and crash logs: access your BattlEye logs/crashlogs here.
- Server logs: by default, DayZ writes its server log files to the server profile folder too.
Stop your server before you add or edit mod config files, and keep a backup of any file you change.
Profile folder questions
Where is the DayZ server profile folder?
On a GTX DayZ server it is the folder named profiles in your DayZ server root directory. Open it with the File Manager in the game panel, or over SFTP.
Where do I put a mod's config folder?
In the profiles folder. Upload the mod's config folder there with the server stopped, then start the server so the mod reads it. The mod's Workshop page usually says which folder name it expects.
My server crashed. Where are the crash logs?
In the profiles folder, together with the BattlEye logs. You can also read the server logs in the Log Viewer: see How to view your server logs.
Want your own DayZ server? GTX DayZ servers come with a File Manager, SFTP access and one-click mods: see DayZ server hosting.
