Clean install of linux srcds but can't connect

[Mad Professor]

Good day all.

Upto now I have been hosting my own Counter Strike Source Dedicated Server at home, with no problems beside the limited internet bandwidth.

So I decided to rent a linux dedicated server here in the UK.

I installed Counter Strike Source Dedicated Server just like I did on my home server, make a very basic server config file, but I am unable to connect to the new server.

The server is running Ubuntu 10.04 x64.

I installed counter strike source dedicated Server by running the following.

Quote:sudo apt-get install ia32-libs gdb
wget http://media.steampowered.com/client/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
tar -xvzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir /gameservers/srcds_l/css_normal/ +app_update 232330 validate +quit

I made a very quick and basic server1.cfg file

To start the server I run.

Quote:./srcds_run -console -game cstrike -port 27015 +maxplayers 12 +exec server1.cfg +map de_dust -debug

This is what I get in the server console.

Code:

Auto detecting CPU
Using default binary: ./srcds_linux
Enabling debug mode
Server will auto-restart if there is a crash.
Using breakpad minidump system
Using breakpad crash handler

Now with the server being a real linux dedicated server at a datacentre here in the UK, I am not going to me having any problems with regards to port forwarding, and I have had it confirmed from the firm I rent the server from that all ports are indeed open and useable.

Can someone please advice what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for your time.

Best Regards.

Some vps block almost all posts by default but, I can see your binding a port but not a IP try adding -ip 123.14.15.15 to start up make sure you change it you ur ip. Also make sure the host doesn't have a firewall blocking that port.
