Dedicated Server !menu not working

[Squeekstyle]

I need some major help and I just dont know what to do.  Before the update I had ulib/ulx running nicely.  Once the update hit I could not get anything to load so i downloaded the svn versions of both when the updates finally came in.  On my dedicated server I placed both ulib and ulx folders in my addons folder.  then i placed the ulx_init.lua in the lua/autorun folder to even get any of the functions working.  As a superadmin i could use all the commands if I manually typed them in console.  The only real problem I am having is using the !menu system.  When I type !menu or !adminmenu, etc nothing happens at all.  The MOTD doesnt even run when people join so i really dont know what I am doing wrong.  I have been on other servers since the update and their MOTD's and !clientmenu's work so if anyone could help point me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks

Are you using a downloadurl server?

squeekstyle.
don't move anything to your gmod/lua/autorun thats normally an addon (like our svn)
Thats why addons exist. So you don't have to scatter files like that.

And, regarding ded servers, garry totally changed way client file downloads occur.
You'll have to upload the cache folder of your server, anytime you change anything related to lua (addons/mods/gamemodes), to your sv_downloadurl host.

Ok I guess my problem is that I am not using an sv_downloadurl server.  Is that the only way to do it now that it has been changed by garry?  I never have had much of a problem just letting the players download directly off the server just because I didnt want to go set up or pay for web hosting?  I even tried to read around and saw that setting sv_downloadurl '' would disable it but no luck.  If having a web server as well is the only way to go than so be it.

Thank you for your time btw fellas.  I know you probably have a lot of people asking the same questions but I have been trying my best to find an answer as this admin mod is truly better than any other I have seen for this game.

I'm guessing if sv_allowdownloads is on for a listen/non-sv_downloadurl server... shouldn't the player connecting still get the files in /cache?

I would think so.  What about cl_allowdownloads.  Maybe that is for listen servers?

this is the current loading error I get when I join the dedicated server:


ULib/cl_init.lua:33: attempt to call method 'ConCommand' (a nil value)
