Server Problems/Cannot Connect

Sad 
Hey guys,

I am sorry if you have seen this problem a million times, but i can't find it anywhere!

Upon starting my server I get the following:

Code:
-bash-2.05b$ ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike -port 27015 +ip 64.207.150.109 +map de_dust +maxplayers 10
Auto detecting CPU

It does allow me to type status in and it returns:

When i try to connect to the server in CSS it doesn't get anywhere Sad

Server Details (copy & pasted from media temple's website):

• Dual 3.6 GHz Processors w/ 2MB L2 cache
• 800 MHz Front Side Bus
• Intel EM64T and HyperThreading technology
• 4GBs of DDR2 400MHz Memory
• 2GBs HDD Storage allocated
• Fiber-optically connected SAN storage
• Redundant power supplies, redundant fans

Linux Details:
gcc (GCC) 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-47)
ldd (GNU libc) 2.3.2
#1 SMP Tue May 17 17:52:23 EDT 2005

Access:
I do not have root access to the server, but I was able to in stall and the server does run ok.

I am administering this server remotely via SSH. I have checked with my hosting service (mt) and they have stated that they are not blocking any ports.

Oh Yea! and I have NO CLUE about linux commands.

Please help.
Thanks In Advance!

Do you have iptables/ a firewall running on the server? Because i remember with mine i had to allow the ports before it worked. Also to get VAC secure mode working allow port UDP/20009 on the firewall.

Edit: Just saw you said they arent blocking any ports. But do they still have a firewall on?

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
COMMIT

this seems to have absolutley no effect on the ports at all i think the iptable programs in /sbin/ may be responsible.
I have full root access so there shudnt be any problems with tht.
Also I can connect to steam but still cant join my server i can use status and it says it workin ok but no1 can join.

As i said in the other thread restart iptables using "/etc/init.d/iptables restart" for changes to take effect.
But here is what my iptables content for my srcds looks like (running 3 servers) and they are fine
Code:
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 27015 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 27030:27039 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 27000:27015 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 27015 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 27020 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 27045 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 27045 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 27075 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 27075 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 20009 -j ACCEPT

I am having the same problems. Just to test if I had the firewall incorrectly setup I stopped it using the following command

/etc/init.d/iptables/stop

I still get the error.

Could not establish connection to Steam servers.
VAC secure mode disabled.

Anyone have any ideas?

check your server.cfg file located in cstrike/cfg. server clearly says it cant execute it so i'm 99% sure that this file is what gives you problems Wink
