Attempting to get a Linux Combined Operations server working

bros · June 28, 2012

Running Debian 6 32-bit.

Files from Arma2 are uploaded to /home/arma2oa/arma2

Please post output from the following command:

ls -Rx1 /home/arma2oa/

It will print out the complete directory hierarchy for /home/arma2oa/.

It will be very long thanks to the mods so you might have to post it on Pastebin.

There you go

Jastreb · May 15, 2012

First youre missing some things in arma2oa.cfg thats why its complaining but its not critical.

I have these and it works perfectly, so use what you need for yourself

language="English";
adapter=-1;
3D_Performance=1;
Resolution_W=800;
Resolution_H=600;
Resolution_Bpp=32;

MaxBandwidth=1048576000;
MinErrorToSend=0.001;
MinErrorToSendNear=0.0099999998;
MaxCustomFileSize=0;

Next is your launch line. Why are you not using start script provided with server its much easier that way. Next is CBA. Which version do you use? If you use latest builds then you will need ( for CO ) cba, cba_a2, and cba_oa. If not then its ok. But using latest version of ace and old cba, Im not sure how that will work. Just thinking out loud here.

Make sure you have all keys from addons in your serverroot/keys folder, and only ones you want to allow on your server.

And oh boy you made a complete mess with those directories. I cant frankly see whats where from that output, Ill let Deadfast look into that one.

And I forgot to add...do not use jayarmalib on the server unless you need it for some reason. It wont work on linux, its not needed for acre to run on server.

That last bit is useful to know.

So does your server run? What problem do you actually have?

Edited June 29, 2012 by _MaSSive

bros · June 28, 2012

Oh. I thought I said that, sorry.

It's a Debian 6 server.

It won't start. Gives a bunch of errors. If it starts and I login as admin, click server control - missions, server crashes

Overlord · September 15, 2006

Capital letters in mission names (or other places)?

BTW, try to get a vanilla server to run flawlessly before you add a bunch of more ore less demanding mods. Always a good way to pin-point issues.

Right, well, you cant run CO cause arma2 is in different folder. Thing you can do is to create symlink or copy arma2/addons to your OA folder and then you can run Combined Operations.

Ah.

I have done a symlink now.

Now I just get ace/cba errors. Now to figure out where they come from.

It still crashes when I click Missions in Server Control though.

Jastreb · May 15, 2012

You probably have errors in mission scripting. Try some standard mission.

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext

bros · June 28, 2012

Anyway I can figure out which mission is causing that issue?

---------- Post added at 13:06 ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 ----------

btw is there any way I can make it so it outputs the errors to a log file?

Overlord · September 15, 2006

Does those missions run on another server? If so, open missions, check addons section, and see if they require something you don't have.

bros · June 28, 2012

They run when self-hosting.

Also I just had a person join the server, vote themself as admin, and it terminates with:

bah, remember seeing anything about libs in server readme.txt?

On 64-bit systems you will need 32-bit libraries installed

There might be a small chance you miss those libs, even if you're running 32bit OS.

On some distributions of Linux (this was reported for RedHat 9 and Gentoo Linux 2.4.20) the NSCD deamon must be installed to run ArmA 2 server successfully. Caching of DNS would be sufficient

Maybe this is valid on Cent too?

bros · June 28, 2012

On debian, not CentOS.

I installed NSCD.

Try ldd -v server and check for broken dependencies?

My output (64 bit):

        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf775f000)
       libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf7658000)
       libz.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libz.so.1 (0xf7643000)
       libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf761c000)
       libpthread.so.0 => /lib32/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7603000)
       libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf75ff000)
       [b]librt.so.1 => /lib32/librt.so.1 (0xf75f6000)[/b]
       libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf75d7000)
       libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf747d000)
       /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7760000)

And you seems to miss the bold one.
