MasterRequestRestart after update and verify_all on TF2 server

[bobblegate]

I'm running a small private TF2 server. I've been getting a "MasterRequestRestart" as soon as it starts up. On a map change, the server restarts, and "MasterRequestRestart" still shows up. I can't change maps. I tried updating, I tried updating with verify_all, and it still doesn't work. What do I do?

Try putting the steam file in the orangebox directory

[bobblegate]

So I did a "mv steam orangebox/" and a "mv update orangebox/". I moved into the orangebox dir and did a ./update. It's downloading EVERYTHING now, and going very slow for some reason (only at about 2%) now. After it finishes I'll see if it runs.

[bobblegate]

The update took forever, it just finished. It looks like I have two tf2 installs now, one installed inside the other. Whoops, lol. It still does it though, just now with an "extra" step of updating. I started the server, connected to it, and then changed the map, just to see if it still happens.  I edited out my steam ID, otherwise this is unchanged:

First and only bump. Any other ideas? My server was working fine before.

[Luki]

Delete "InstallRecord.blob", "hldsupdatetool.bin" and "steam".
Download again hldsupdatetool.bin, and update your srcds with "-verify_all". :]

[bobblegate]

I decided to bite the bullet, and I just backed up my server.cfg and rm'ed my /srv/valve directory. It's just a very small private server, so there's no real loss. It's downloading now, if there's any more problems that arise, I'll post about it. Thanks!
