SRCDS and linux problems

[Kizer]

I am running Fedora Core 4 via:ssh

gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20051125 (Red Hat 4.0.2-8)
ldd (GNU libc) 2.3.5
uname - 2.6.14-1.1644_FC4smp

When I try to run srcds from a directory othere that /root/ I get errors.

Say my command line goes:

/home/srcds_1/srcds_run -console -game cstrike +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 32 +ip 69.94.xxx.xxx -port 27015 -autoupdate

then I get and error saying "invalid game type cstrike"

so I then add to the command -game /home/srcds/cstrike

the I get an error saying:

cannot execute bin/dedicated_i686.so

I want to know if there are more paramiters in the srcds_run file that I need to set in order to use different directories for multiple servers.

Please help.

if you havn't, install screen

but otherwise, try running it from your srcds_1 dir and see what happens

What does screen do?

And just so that everyone knows. I only have webmin and ssh access. This machine is in California in a data center.

[hexa]

just lets you keep running the server after you quit the ssh

edit: to install screen its= $ yum install screen

after than you put screen -R css ./srcds_run xxxxxxx


ctrl-a-d to detach and then you can quit the ssh

if you need to attach you just log in via ssh again and type $ screen -r css

Thankyou. Works beautifully.

But I stall have to run the server in my /root/ directory or I get all those errors.

I have to run it using ./srcds_run -xxxx or /root/srcds_run -xxxx

I need help with that now.

If I run it in home directory and I login as a user... then I get a "Pemission Denied" error message. Any suggestions for this?

[hexa]

ya... log in as root and go to the home directory of the user you want to run it as then type


# chown user srcds_1

edit: i'm assuming you installed it to the user's home dir but was just root when you installed it

[Kizer]

Im sorry but I tried to do that but I got nothing.. I was probably doing it wrong.

my -dir is:

/home/john/srcds_1/SRCDS_CGS/ (and all my source files are in here.)

can you tell me exactly what the command should look like..

sorry for the noob questions.. thankyou for your help.

[hexa]

log in as root or su

# cd /home/john
# chown john srcds_1

[Kizer]

still permission denied on that.

I ran those commands just as you put them.

[Kizer]

Ok.. I may have fixed this whole problem...

I will post again to let you know.

Please post your fix when you get a chance. I am having the same exact problem. I am using a Debian distr.
thanks,
