my all 3 servers down for no reason!!!

[chuck]

hello, since my tech left, i have no idea how to run server in linux and this morning all 3 of my servers went down... so when i look at gametracker.com it show that all my 3 servers is unknown...so can you tell me how to run server in ssh? im running dedicated server debian linux... i tried ./scrds_run but it still not showing up!!!add me on steam bothell24

---

ok after i typed this in consol ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +map zm_lila_panic +maxplayers 32 -autoupdate +ip 38.99.168.192 -port 27016 -tickrate 66 -insecure....i can't turn off ssh because if i do then server will be down too... how can i fix that?

Maybe you should consider standard slot hosting?

before your run the srcds_run command (with all those options, they look correct -> only I wouldn't run a server with "-insecure" unless you like having cheaters on your server) run the command "screen". that will open a virtual terminal window in which you can run the server. you can then disconnect from that screen session by pressing "Ctrl+A D". You can also reconnect (even from another computer) by running screen -R (if you have multiple screen sessions running, screen -R will print a list of names. put one of them behind the -R option to connect to it).

if you got so far and are willing to spend some time learning linux and server configurations you might be able to manage the servers on your own. but beware, most stuff will not work on its own and it will require some time and efford.

@BehaartesEtwas I am not trying to hijack this thread but you listed a few thing for screen and how do I close a screen so that the server will stop and the task will end, so you can start it up again without running two of the same servers

[BehaartesEtwas]

connect to the screen and stop the server (e.g. by hitting ctrl+c)

I know of ctrl +c and have used it before i cant believe i never tried that

when i type this screen ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +map zm_lila_panic +maxplayers 32 -autoupdate +ip 38.99.168.192 -insecure -port 27016... it goes to port 27017 or 18...why it gives wrong port? and thanks for giving me advice about screen....

see the other thread (http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/14436), it's probably the same reason (srcds tends to use another port if the specified is taken, but apparently only sometimes)

some hints regarting linux command line:
* "man <command>" gives you a detailed help for that command. that virtually always helps you if you already know the command you want to use. E.g. if you want to know how to do something with screen, try "man screen".
* If you don't even know what command to use (that happens quite often in the beginning I guess ^^) try some google search. E.g. "command linux copy file" will give you very fast the idea which command to use to copy files on linux ;-)
* If you try the above always at first you will learn much faster, because you will recognize the structure. If you always ask somebody how to do something, you might get quicker the result. But you will not understand easily why to use that command in that way.
* I don't say this because I don't want to answer your questions. I really think in the long term this will be easier for you ;-)

A short help text will most times display:
whatevercommand --help

i know but you were confusing mean...
by the way what does this cause when u try to run server -port 27015 but it goes to 27018.. while other 2 port does work 27016 27017

sorry :-)

Quote:by the way what does this cause when u try to run server -port 27015 but it goes to 27018.. while other 2 port does work 27016 27017

that means another server is already running at 27015... I don't know why, but sometimes srcds seems to just use another port if the one you specified is taken and sometimes it gives that error message.

yeah i know but it was weird!!! and finally it worked for no reason lol!!!wondering if it possible to log in ssh and view server running...and how do i set log to every server to see what server loading and error loading...
