Server starts and immediately stops!

[bladerunner]

After battling with the steam update tool. I downloaded a fresh install of CS:S. After the downloads completion and reading the how-to information located in the tutorial on this website, I attempted to start the server. I made several unsuccessful attempts to start the server.

Examples:

Quote:[halflife@halflife srcds_l]$ ./srcds_run
Auto detecting CPU
Using default binary.
Auto-restarting the server on crash
Fri Dec 17 07:48:35 CST 2004: Server Quit

[halflife@halflife srcds_l]$

Quote:[halflife@halflife srcds_l]$ ./srcds_run -game cstrike
Auto detecting CPU
Using default binary.
Auto-restarting the server on crash
Fri Dec 17 07:49:01 CST 2004: Server Quit

[halflife@halflife srcds_l]$

Auto detecting CPU
Using default binary.
Auto-restarting the server on crash
Fri Dec 17 08:10:36 CST 2004: Server Quit

[halflife@halflife srcds_l]$

When the "-autoupdate" flag is added on the command, it results in an unbreakable loop (can not control break out), which requires me to look up the pid and kill it manually.

I have run halflife servers for a long time. I am baffled at which direction I should go at this point.

Any offered ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Ok, what cpu arch are you running, 686? 486?
post your

Code:

uname -mp

Read/Write permissions maybe?

.. I dunno ..

Could it have been related to the "+ip" problem earlier this week? Did you re-run hldsupdatetool since the last few updates?

Here is an update on my issue. It is possible that the Source Dedicated Server will not run on older versions of glibc.

To check your version of use this command :
rpm -aq | grep glibc

Below is an example of the output:

Quote:$ rpm -aq |grep glibc
glibc-devel-2.2.5-44.legacy.3
glibc-2.2.5-44.legacy.3
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.16
glibc-debug-2.2.5-44.legacy.3
glibc-utils-2.2.5-44.legacy.3
glibc-common-2.2.5-44.legacy.3
compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2
glibc-debug-static-2.2.5-44.legacy.3
glibc-profile-2.2.5-44.legacy.3

I do not know if its possible to make the server run without Glibc version 2.3

Since updated to 2.3 can be extremely difficult without a full reinstallation of Linux, I am ,of course, going to install a new/up2date version Linux on the server. I will post my results when it is completed. This may take me a few weeks because of the holiday.

-More to come.

uname -mp : "i686 unknown"
rpm -aq | grep glibc : "bash: rpm: command not found"

Same thing here, here's a clip, I tried defining the IP as suggested, and got the processors;
