Wrong slashes? Cannot find ClientRegistry.blob

[radiumv]

Hi there.

I'm trying to set up a TF2 server on a Debian x86_64 machine (Dreamhost VPS) and I keep hitting a brick wall, even before any of the files can be downloaded.

Here's the issue:

Code:

$ ./steam
Checking bootstrapper version ...
File does not exist: /home/<user>/.steam\ClientRegistry.blob
$

The file does exist at /home/<user>/.steam/ClientRegistry.blob, but steam is looking for the wrong location.. I'm getting mildly frustrated, since this works on an Ubuntu 12.04 local VM, but not on the VPS. Any ideas?

Are you running steam with the same user that has access to that folder? If you're really desperate you can run it with root but dont run the game server itself with root.
