Running multiple servers on one server?

[Homie]

Hello when i do this command

./srcds_run -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 32 -ip 67.43.159.23 -port 27015

It gives me errors

Quote:oot@westside [~]# cd /root/srcds_1
root@westside [~/srcds_1]# ./srcds_run -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 32

So what am i doing wrong how do i make it run on diffrent ips on 1 server?

Hard to say exactly what your problem is here from the info you've given, running a server on different IPs is straightforward you just need to specify '+ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' I note in your quote you've used -ip which I don't believe will work. If you want to use the same IP to run multiple servers you just need to specify different ports 27015/16/17 or whatever you choose, again specified from the command line but this time using the '-port xxxxx' directive.

Hope this helps,

partially right, +ip is no longer used in srcds. You need to change the port as afterglow said you can't have 2 different srcds on the same port, so if you have one on 27015 then run it with -port 27016 or 27020

NO i want to run the server on a diffrent ip . and when i make it run on diffrent ips then my main one it gives me the error above.

I think they are trying to say that to run two different servers on two different IPs, you must specify the IP and port for both instances. Use +ip and -port and each servers should be different IPS and Ports.

k i did this command
./hlds_run -console -game czero +ip 67.43.159.24 -port 27015 +maxplayers 26 +map de_dust_cz
and i get that error below. but this works on my main ip though!!

your definately using a different port for each process?

[Homie]

Well with th additional ips that my host gives me cant i run multiple servers? on same port since i have like 5 diffrent ips and i can run each server on each ip? is that possible? Im using linux shell access!

[cryotek]

try

Code:

-ip 67.43.159.24

Also as a general notice, stuff like srdds should be ran as a normal user, and not root, root is mostly only used for system upgrades and such. as a rule of thumb apps should be ran under a normal user.

also, be sure those ips are active, can you ping them? try running ifconfig
how many eth0 print up?

[Homie]

well my main ip works but when i try pinging additional ips it just timesout!! for asigning ips does the other additional ips have to ping to work for a cz or cs source server? If so can my host do this for me or can i easily do it by myself? Heres whats in ifconfig
Also you can see eht0:2 has the additional ip assigned which is 67.43.159.25!! My friend assigned it like that!! but still when doing this command it doesnt work


./hlds_run -console -game czero -secure -port 27015 +ip 67.43.159.25 +maxplayers 27 +map de_d

I am pretty sure you have to have two different ports, no matter if they are different IP addresses.

Also, are you trying to run HLDS or SRCDS? Your startup line says HLDS, not source.

I think i figured out problem!! The additional ips arent enabled so my host is doing it right now!! I'll let everyone know if it fixed that!!

[Homie]

Yup problem solved they just needed to enable extra ips!
