restore segment prot after reloc

[Rusty]

I was running a server, and messing around with linux at the same time when my server crashed (wasnt messing around with anything related to the server). I was forced to restart because I was unable to reboot because I was unable to connect, with my server running. After the crash, I was unable to start my server and received the following error message:

I checked the log, and this is what I found:

Code:

I tried re-downloading the whole bin folder, but with no luck. Still the same error. So I emailed linux at valvesoftware dot com, and this is what he told me:

Quote:This is a problem with FC3 and FC4 relating to the SELinux addon. A quick google for "restore segment prot after reloc" will show you the various solutions.

Google only gave me several solutions telling me to disable SELinux but also that it wasn't the cheapest solution.

Copying the folder to my home directory and chowning does not work...

So I would like to ask, does any one know how to help me? This is seriously getting annoying, and I dont know where to turn.

[Rusty]

PLEEEEASE help me!

[Rusty]

ok now... third attempt! Can no one help me?

[inc0gs]

why is disabling (or evening changingto permissive) SElinux not a cheap solution? it's just a matter of changing a setting?

have you even tried this yet? or this an option that you are not willing to use?

[cryotek]

why even install the server as root? install it as a normal user.

[Rusty]

So you're saying that copying to my own directory, chowning and then starting a server as a normal user is not enough?
So.. do I really have to download srcds all over again?

[cryotek]

are you doing chown -R someuser:users srcds_l ?

[p4nd3mic]

This will fix it, but I don't know what kind of security repercusions the command can have.
# setenforce 0

It has something to do with SELinux which I know nothing about. Study it and let us know.
