Server will start, but doesn't show.

[pazquee]

Hello.

I have a dedicated server in France and I'm living in Denmark, so i dont have physical contact with the server or any form of "screen, vnc kinda thing" i ONLY have SSH and FTP access. Its a Linux Ubuntu.

Now. I been trying to run a dedicated source server on it, by using this guide "http://www.cstrike-planet.com/tutorial/1-Linux-Install-CS-Source/5"

My problem is, when i run the code

Code:

./srcds_run -game cstrike -autoupdate +maxplayers 32 +map de_dust

I get the following message

Code:

Network: IP 176.31.99.197, mode MP, dedicated Yes, ports 27015 SV / 27005 CL
ConVarRef room_type doesn't point to an existing ConVar
Executing dedicated server config file server.cfg
Initializing Steam libraries for secure Internet server
Failed to load Steam Service
ServiceStart: failed to start
Looking up breakpad interfaces from steamclient
Calling BreakpadMiniDumpSystemInit
'server.cfg' not present; not executing.
Connection to Steam servers successful.
   Public IP is 176.31.99.197.
Assigned anonymous gameserver Steam ID [A-1:3455016962(2926)].
VAC secure mode is activated.

It looks like it should run, but i can't find anything on server lists.

Hopefully you guys can help me!

well, what a douche who wrote that guide.(or well, it at least seems wrong in my eyes!)
anyway try this startupline:

Code:

-console -game cstrike -autoupdate +map de_dust2 -maxplayers XX +ip 0.0.0.0

the +ip is just because RCON seems to bug on some servers if you dont do +ip 0.0.0.0

Can you connect to the server though lan? if so, try to write sv_lan 0 and to make a server.cfg wouldnt be a bad idea either.

anyway, i dont have time to check everything though so please say if it dosnt work.

That didn't work.

I get this. pretty much the same as before.

Code:

Network: IP 0.0.0.0, mode MP, dedicated Yes, ports 27015 SV / 27005 CL
ConVarRef room_type doesn't point to an existing ConVar
Executing dedicated server config file server.cfg

I can't come in through LAN since I'm not on the same network as my server.

You tried my line twice and remembered to put sv_lan 0 in the console afterwards?, because that startup you made there failed. you dont get any IP and it says failed to load steam. Not the same as before at all!

Take a look again. Its the same. Says "failed to load steam service" both places.

The only thing different is that i made a CFG

Pazquee did you add sv_lan 0 to the server configuration and does your server run off a vps or a home computer? I had this similar problem and I had to add the sv_lan 0 and sv_region 0 to my server config to get the server on the list.

Also when starting up a server you want to specify a port at times like this. The start up we use for our servers is the following;

Code:

./srcds_run -console -game cstrike -port 27015 +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 32 -tickrate 66

If you run your servers using a screen then use the following command;

Code:

screen ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike -port 27015 +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 32 -tickrate 66

Could you also copy and paste the contents of your server configuration for your counter-strike server in here.

That didn't work either.

Code:

// server name
hostname "Server Name"

// rcon passsword
rcon_password "0"

// Server password
sv_password "0"

// server cvars

mp_friendlyfire 0
mp_footsteps 1

Thats my CFG. Im running it on a VPS.

Could you start the server with the server.cfg in your cstrike/cfg folder and copy and paste the entire console to us. I want to see the errors that appear with the configuration inside the folder.
