# How to Fix Server List Query Error

Fix the "Server list query returned an error" issue so your server shows up in the FiveM server list.

If you see `[citizen-server-impl] Server list query returned an error` in your console, your server cannot be reached by the FiveM master server and will not show up in the public server list.

### Step 1: Set sv\_listingIPOverride

1. Open your `server.cfg` file.
2. Look for the setting `sv_listingIPOverride` and ensure it is set to your server's IP address with the port number.

```
sv_listingIPOverride "your_ip:30120"
```

3. Save the changes.

This resolves the error in most cases.

***

### Step 2: Open Required Ports

If the error persists after Step 1, the most common cause is misconfigured firewall or router. You need to open the following ports:

* **30120 TCP/UDP** - FiveM server
* **40120 TCP** - txAdmin

How you open ports depends on your setup (Home Host, Windows VPS, Linux VPS, or Game Server Provider). Check your host's documentation or firewall settings.

***

### Step 3: Update FiveM Artifacts

Outdated server artifacts can also cause this issue. Make sure you are running the latest recommended FiveM artifacts:

* Windows: [FiveM Windows Artifacts](https://runtime.fivem.net/artifacts/fivem/build_server_windows/master/)
* Linux: [FiveM Linux Artifacts](https://runtime.fivem.net/artifacts/fivem/build_proot_linux/master/)

***

### Step 4: Remove sv\_master1

Make sure you do **not** have `sv_master1` set in your `server.cfg`. This setting is deprecated and can cause issues.

***

### Step 5: Check Your Hosting

If you have done all of the above and the issue is still not fixed, this is most likely a hosting provider issue. Some cheap or unknown hosts have networking restrictions that block the FiveM master server from reaching your server.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Always use well known hosting providers. Cheap or unknown hosts often have networking issues that cause this error and other connectivity problems.
