What it means

MTA's own client shows a CC code when something fails before or during a connection: the address, the nickname, a module it could not load, or the connection itself. MTA's own documentation gives this code as Wrong URL protocol.

How to fix it

Work down the list and stop when it is solved.

  1. Use an mtasa:// link or the server browser

    Check the link you clicked. If it does not start with mtasa://, search for the server inside MTA instead.

  2. Copy the whole message first

    Write down every line MTA shows, not only the code. The rest of the message often names the file, the server or the reason, and that is what tells you which step below applies.

  3. Try the connection again

    Close MTA, open it again and connect once more. A single failed attempt can come from a restart on the server or a short break in your own connection.

Still stuck? The Fix tool reads MTA's own log on your computer and points at the matching steps. Nothing is uploaded.
