If you have included everything mentioned above in your server.cfg and your server is still not showing up on the server list, it is recommended that you check your console for any potential listing errors. If you see an error message similar to this:
Server list query returned an error: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Connection refused <- System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Connection refused (1.2.3.4:30121)Add the following lines to your server.cfg and restart your server and restart your server.
sv_listingIpOverride "your server's IP (without :30120)"After restarting your server wait for about 5 minutes and check both the online server list and the In game FiveM server list to see if your server is listed.
