ContentServer Rejected / Seg Fault

[Mr_H]

I've done searches for this, but haven't found anything (unless I'm using the wrong keywords).

I got the TF2 Server files a while ago, they're all sitting happily on my server. The server started up fine the first time and I saw it on the list, but when I attempted to join I got an error about using an Older Protocol.

I tried to update the game files using the following command:
./steam -command update -game tf -retry
and get

Code:

Checking bootstrapper version ...
Updating Installation
No installation record found at .
ContentServer rejected client session login
<back to the prompt).

(If I add on -dir for whatever directory, it says 'no installation record found at whatever directory).

If I skip the update and go right to starting the server with:
./srcds_run -console -game tf +map cp_gravelpit +maxplayers 16 -autoupdate
I recive the following message:

Code:

Starting TF2 Server
Auto detecting CPU
Using SSE2 Optimised binary.
Auto-restarting the server on crash
Could not locate steam binary:./steam, ignoring.

Console initialized.
./srcds_run: line 428:  4923 Segmentation fault      $HL_CMD
Add "-debug" to the ./srcds_run command line to generate a debug.log to help with solving this problem
Fri Oct 12 23:16:35 EDT 2007: Server restart in 10 seconds

(and it repeats)

Any suggestions?
Thanks

It could be that your installation is corrupt/incomplete for some reason. Try passing the -verify_all flag to ./steam.

The "ContentServer rejected client session login" message is more than likely appearing because of the huge demand on Valve's servers that has accompanied the TF2 release. They do give preference to people that have steam accounts however, so if you specify -username and -password flags then you should find you're granted a connection.
