larsiano 12 Posted November 19, 2010 I wish i knew more about Linux i just wanted to help you get the troubleshooting going! What does google say? Maybe you can give a step by step installation guide for a noob like me (if you feel like it). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

killswitch 19 Posted November 21, 2010 Spike1986, could you post the part of the arma2oaserver script where you set the configuration parameters. Sometimes, an extra character in a bad place can cause problems further down in shell scripts. I'm referring to this section of the script: #======================================================================= #======== CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS ======== #======== MUST BE EDITED MANUALLY TO FIT YOUR SYSTEM PARAMETERS ======== #======================================================================= ARMA_DIR= CONFIG= PORT=2302 PIDFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/${PORT}.pid RUNFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/${PORT}.run LOGFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/log.${PORT}.txt SERVER=${ARMA_DIR}/server OTHERPARAMS=-cpucount=2 #======================================================================= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spike1986 10 Posted November 21, 2010 hm... thanks for the answer #!/bin/bash# # armaserver: ArmA 2 Linux Dedicated Server Control Script # © 2010 BIStudio # ArmA 2 binary version must be 1.04 or later # #======================================================================= #======== CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS ======== #======== MUST BE EDITED MANUALLY TO FIT YOUR SYSTEM PARAMETERS ======== #======================================================================= ARMA_DIR=/srv/www/htdocs/web0/html/ftp/server/gameserver/arma2 CONFIG=arma.cfg PORT=2302 PIDFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/${PORT}.pid RUNFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/${PORT}.run LOGFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/log.${PORT}.txt SERVER=${ARMA_DIR}/server OTHERPARAMS=-cpucount=2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
killswitch 19 Posted November 21, 2010 That looks OK(*). I wonder if there are invisible, "strange" characters in that file put there when you edited the file. How did you edit the file? Did you use a text editor on the server itself? Did you edit the file on your Windows computer and then upload it? What editor did you use? (If you used the Windows Notepad.exe editor, perhaps there are some hidden DOS-type line endings in the arma2oaserver file that are causing trouble) (*) The line CONFIG=arma2.cfg is suspicios. The file named "arma2.cfg" is automatically generated when you start the old ArmA II 1.0x Linux server and usually contains this: language="English"; adapter=-1; 3D_Performance=1; Resolution_Bpp=32; The file intended for the CONFIG parameter is the one usually called "server.cfg" and would contain lines like this: // GLOBAL SETTINGS hostname="My ArmA II server" password = "" // Password for joining eg connecting to the server passwordAdmin = "secret" // Password to become server admin ... ... more stuff here ... Naturally, if your "arma2.cfg" contains game server config lines like the second example above, everything is alright. (I would rename it "server.cfg" or anything except "arma2.cfg" since that name is used for a file that may get automatically created if you start the old A2 Linux dedi server) I can't see anything wrong with your arma2oaserver file, but it's worth a try to unpack a fresh copy from the a2oa-server-1.55.75619.tar.bz2 archive and then edit it on the server using Vi, emacs, gedit or whichever favourite editor you have. There may be strange characters hiding in the file that got there during editing or when (if) you uploaded it from your Windows machine. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HitmanFF 6 Posted November 21, 2010 ${SERVER} >>${LOGFILE} 2>&1 -server -config=${CONFIG} -port=${PORT} -pid=${PIDFILE} ${OTHERPARAMS Might be a copy-paste error from your file to the forum post, but there seems to be a } missing there (ending ${OTHERPARAMS ). Following Killswitches suggestion to use a fresh arma2oaserver would be best probably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
