Can't get OA Server working on Ubuntu root

Hi there

I thought it was a nice idea to rent a root server and install arma2oa on it. That way i have the motivation to learn linux and host my own arma2co server. Learning linux works, but the server doesn't...

I uploaded my Arma2CO folder via ftp and downloaded the 1.60 dedicated server file for linux (not the beta one). This is where it gets strange. When i enter ./install it says that it is installing version 1.57. I downloaded the from other mirrors and tried again but it always says version 1.57. Ok, i thought, maybe thats an error on the devs side... who knows.

I edited the arma2oaserver like this:

#!/bin/bash

#

you need to load a mission at the end of the server.cfg.

// MISSIONS CYCLE (see below)

class Missions

{

class COOP_01

{

template = "you mission name";// omit the .pbo suffix

difficulty = "regular";// difficulty: recruit, regular, veteran or mercenary (see CfgDifficulties in the main game config)

};

};

Arma2oa.cfg is missing or wrong path in Arma2oaserver

AFAIK thats the default name wich is loaded if you dont specify another file with cfg="" param.

Although on a linux machine it has to be all lower case -> arma2oa.cfg and has to be in arma2oaserver and also the file has to have the exact same name.

You could rename the file to arma2oa.cfg and delete the entry in arma2oaserver.

Sadly, if the arma2oaserver script is left default, and someone merely adds:

CFG=arma2oa.cfg

But does not edit this line:

${SERVER} >>${LOGFILE} 2>&1 -server -config=${CONFIG} -port=${PORT} -pid=${PIDFILE} ${OTHERPARAMS}

Then the server should read the arma2oa.cfg that should be in the ArmA2 OA root directory. If its in caps, the server will not read it, if the permissions are incorrect, the server will not read it. The 'CFG' line does not need to be added to the launch script, since the server reads it upon launch.

However, if these 3 lines in the file, all have '0' or are not defined, you can get the above errors as well

3D_Performance
adapter
Resolution_Bpp

Most likely reason for this error is a server already running on 2302:

21:15:29 Dedicated host created.
21:15:30 Cannot start host on port 2302.

As far as the port goes, if your using the linux firewall open port 2302-2305
