Server Install

[Slinwagh]

I am trying to install a new Dedicated Source server.

I have followed the tutorial on here etc. but I can not find the srcds_run file anywhere on my server.

Also none of the map content is installed.

CAn anyone help please?

did you look in the directory that you specified during the update command?

if you did and it's not there, then I would assume that the update failed and suggest trying again.

[Slinwagh]

There were no errors during the install, i have placed everything in the /home/srcds_l/ folder.

Im lost as I have installed servers from scratch before without these sort of problems!

[inc0gs]

so whats in that directory?

installrecord.blob?

if that is there and the srcds_run isn't, I'd suggest deleting the installrecord.blob, and running the update command again.

The image link shows the directory structure I have so far.


Thanks!

Oh I see. Your problem is that you didn't download Counter-Strike Source, but rather just Counter-Strike (as in 1.6).

Either delete all of that with the exception of steam or if you want to run a 1.6 server, then keep it and make a new directory.

Then run steam again, this time make sure that when you do the -game, you put "Counter-Strike Source"

i see you DO have an HLDS_run

i think you downloaded the wrong server...

update with counterstrike source not counterstrike

[Slinwagh]

This is the exact command I used........

./steam -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir /home/srcds -username mar******** -password ******** -remember_password

Thanks for the help!

run this

Code:

rm -rf ~/.steam && ./steam -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir /home/srcds -username mar******** -password ******** -remember_password

[Slinwagh]

I ran the command this is what I got....

Checking bootstrapper version ...
Getting version 13 of Steam HLDS Update Tool
Downloading. . . . . . . . . . . .
Steam Linux Client updated, please retry the command

Linux Config as follows

CentOS 3.4
kernel-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL
glibc-2.3.2-95.30

Thanks again for the help!

[cryotek]

ok, now, rerun
./steam -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir /home/srcds -username mar******** -password ******** -remember_password

[Slinwagh]

I ran the command again and it said that it could not go in the same directory so I changed the directory and it is now downloading.

I take it this will be all the files for the Source dedicated server.

Thanks again!

It should, monitor it for Installing Source Dedicated server content

[Slinwagh]

It has created the following two folders so far...

cstrike
hl2

[cryotek]

then it worked, hl2 is the hl2 engine directory which is what source uses.
