./steam not seem to work properly =0

[fishown]

BASIC INFO
Server OS: centOS 5.5
Processor: i dont realy remember but i know it Duel Xeon 2.66 ( two of them)
Ram: 4GB
Game(s): Trying to run Counter Strike Source
Start Up Command: The things i did is the following -
wget http://www.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin
chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
./hldsupdatetool.bin ( went fine and I typed yes).
./steam ( Just stay on the "Checking bootstrapper version ..." for like 2 hours).
Admin Mods: nothing, pure css.

So as I mentioned above, I never instaled css server before.
Im getting stuck on the update? i guess, after typing in the ./steam command, Its just give me the "Checking bootstrapper version ..." and not going on,

P.S : im new here so... whats up? =]

Ports shouldn't be nessacary to open for this. However the Steam servers could be really busy in the time of your updating of the server. Sometimes it does really hang there forever Try agian and let it stay for a while.

Hi ther, first of all thank you for the reply,
I dont want to sound arrogant but I think this is not the problem,

Finaly something happend and I recived that massage claming that the
script couldent connect to the "generalServer" or so, I dident realy noticed what the massage said.

Any help on this would be appreciated. I'm having this problem too. Running on Ubuntu 10.10 x86.

Command ./steam -command update -game Left4Dead -dir . -verify_all

Stuck on "Checking Bootloader Version" for a lot longer than 2 hours. Tried it twice and left it running overnight twice. No joy. I'm not even getting those "failed to connect" messages. Nothing.

I had the same problem with the Left4Dead2 server but it did eventually update whilst I slumbered.

top shows steam running and eating CPU cycles like crazy but nothing's happening. I'd really like to get the server updated so I can play ;>

Hi ther, Ive fount the source to the problem,
It seems that my provider dident opened the nessecery ports both ways.

check with your provides/firewall to enable the nessecery ports!
26092
27000-27030
*ther are few port in the middle you can skip, you sould GOOGLE that
if you want to know the exac ports.

thanks for the interest guys...

That can't be my problem, my server is in the DMZ so all ports are open.

SlumBeotch! I feel like an idjut!

sudo ./steam -command update -game left4dead -dir . -verify_all

Since I chmod'd everything so that I was owner I didn't think sudo was necessary.

And there's realchamp in this very thread asking "Did you run it as root?"

Duh, no.
