Arma2 OA Ubuntu Server

AbouSanchez · October 6, 2012

Hi,

I got recently a IBM x3550 2CPU L5420 + 8GB, and I want to make an arma server.

I installed arma2 OA server following several sites,

But impossible to get the server from another computer in same network.

When lauching arma 2 server, I get this :

aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ sudo ./arma2oaserver start
Starting ArmA 2 server...
aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ nohup: redirige stderr sur stdout
aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ sudo ./arma2oaserver status
Server should be running...
aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ sudo ./arma2oaserver check
ArmA 2 directory: / OK
Server executable: //server ERROR!
Port number: 2302
Config file: server.cfg OK
PID file: //2302.pid
RUN file: //2302.run

Maybe it's a common issue.

Does any have an idea?

Regards

Does your "server" file have the good rights ? try : chmod 744 server

AbouSanchez · October 6, 2012

After doing chmod, I got this :

aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ sudo ./server start
Warning Message: No entry '.\ArmA2OA.cfg.3D_Performance'.
No entry '.\ArmA2OA.cfg.3D_Performance'.
Warning Message: '/' is not a value

Data file too short '/opt/arma2oa/pmc\addons\music_pmc.pbo'. Expected -1959920903 B, got 18834109 B
aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$

And same than before if I type arma2oaserver...

do not use sudo

./arma2oaserver start

AbouSanchez · October 6, 2012

Hi Magaman,

there is what I get when I try without sudo :

aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ ./arma2oaserver start
Stopping ArmA 2 server...
rm: impossible de supprimer Ã‚Â«//2302.runÃ‚Â»: Permission non accordÃƒÂ©e
Starting ArmA 2 server...
./arma2oaserver: ligne 34: //2302.run: Permission non accordÃƒÂ©e
aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ nohup: redirige stderr sur stdout

You must delete 2302.pid (if exist) and 2302.run as root as you previously launched the server with this user. Also you have missing config lines in your arma2oa.cfg, check community.bistudio.com/wiki/basic.cfg for sample configuration file.

I understand English can be a second language' date=' but there are internet dictionaries, definition of suppress

AbouSanchez, do not run server as root, correct permissions, and or ownership of all files and folders in the ArmA2 directory for the user account you are using. Correct the arma2oa.cfg, by adding lines the error message tells you are missing. Configure the arma2oaserver script, correctly, and use it to launch server: ./arma2oaserver start|stop|restart|status|check

Totally agree with Syn, the root's account is not for run applications!

If the "./arma2oaserver check" reveals an issue about "./server", make "ldd ./server".

Hi All,

Following your advices, I made some changes on my conf, but I still not manage to run the server properly

Tom, this is the output of ldd ./server :

aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ ldd ./server

I never used this command before, I don't know what I should see...

Syn, I changed most permissions but I still do not manage to run the server properly, nore as sudo nore without, see below the output without sudo and the rights:

You have several files owned by your root user, this is wrong, as the game server is intended to be launched by "aladin".

Use : chown -R aladin:aladin /opt/arma2oa as root to correct that.

Also you can delete *.lst *.pdf *.dll *.txt *.cmd files of your folder as they aren't needed there.

Hi All,

Following your advices, I made some changes on my conf, but I still not manage to run the server properly

Tom, this is the output of ldd ./server :

aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ ldd ./server
  linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf772b000)
  libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf7637000)

  libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xf741e000)
  /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf772c000)

I never used this command before, I don't know what I should see...

Syn, I changed most permissions but I still do not manage to run the server properly, nore as sudo nore without, see below the output without sudo and the rights:

aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ ./arma2oaserver start
Starting ArmA 2 server...
./arma2oaserver: ligne 34: //2302.run: Permission non accordÃƒÂ©e
aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ nohup: redirige stderr sur stdout

This error message is telling you, you don't have permissions to run the server with that user account.

aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ ls -l
total 63996

here all files and subfolders in the directory do not belong to the user account thats to be used to run the server. CORRECT that...

For all, there is a sample of the differents config files :

arma2oaserver :

ARMA_DIR=/
CONFIG=server.cfg
CFG=arma2oa.cfg
PORT=2302
PIDFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/${PORT}.pid

no idea why everyone wants bloat the launch script with a mod line, when thats what OTHERPARAMS is there for. Also, the server reads arma2oa.cfg by default, you don't need to add that line. and if you have a quad core cpu, the server also correctly detects cores.

arma2oa.cfg :

language="English";

3D_Performance=1;
Resolution_W=800;
Resolution_H=600;
Resolution_Bpp=32;
MinBandwidth=10000000; line not needed, per BIS Devs
MaxBandwidth=2147483647; You really have 2Gbps upload?
MaxMsgSend=1024; this setting is per client, at max this will allow you to send 8Mbps to 1 client...
MaxSizeGuaranteed=1024; Recommended by BIS Devs to be left default
MaxSizeNonguaranteed=64; Recommended by BIS Devs to be left default
MinErrorToSend=0.0040000002;
MaxCustomFileSize=0;
Windowed=0;

Thx for such a precious help

There are still an awful lot of files in there, I'm not at home to compare to my server. Once you resolve the permissions, make sure to run the install. Remove BAF, and PMC dirs, per BIS DEV's the PMC, BAF Lite are already in Addons.

ARMA_DIR=/

CONFIG=server.cfg

CFG=

OTHERPARAMS='-cfg=arma2oa.cfg -cpucount=4'

should be:

ARMA_DIR=/home/aladin ?

CONFIG=server.cfg

CFG=arma2oa.cfg

OTHERPARAMS='-cpucount=4'

Also if running mods cba has to be 1st.

=@cba\;@cba_a2\;@cba_oa\;@ace\;@acex\;@acex_ru\;@acex_sm\;@acex_usnavy\;@ofrp\;@fallujah\;pmc\;baf

not sure about pmc and baf. and no \; on the end

some files are owned by root those need to be changed.

Warning Message: No entry '.\ArmA2OA.cfg.Resolution_Bpp'.

Warning Message: '/' is not a value

Hello!

I think some of the error messages are due that most missions and mods are created under Windows platform. I did some light testing with Vmware player and created Centos 6.3 64 bit environment. I copied the Arma2OA environment from my Windows workstation to Centos ext4 partition and tried to get it working. Quite many errors when starting the server. Note that I did have full BAF, ACR and PMC installed.

My second test was to create second DOS (vfat) disk and I allocated this to Windows XP under vmware. I installed Arma2, Arma2OA, patch 1.62 and ACR lite to that installation. Next I moved this disk from XP to Centos and mounted it as /arma, uid=arma, gid=arma.

Many of the warning errors vanished. I also had FDFmod installed on both environment and the error messages I gave also vanished. Some random missions started right away.

Can arma2oaserver handle file and directory names within mission file or mod file, if they are created on Windows, and they contain uppercase characters? I assume it can not. There needs to be some kind of standardization layer under windows, when creating file or directory and this layer should handle file name conversion under Linux, too. Like having little-endian or big endian-data.

As an workaround, you can just create a small vfat partition and install all arma stuff in it. At least you get rid of a lot of warnings.

Comments?

BTW: How about that bash script at dev-heaven to get rid of the C-script and need to have full c compiler on Linux arma2oa server?

visceralsyn · October 16, 2010

That particular error message says the config file, has not been configured.

Missions can be made on mars, makes no difference.

AbouSanchez · October 6, 2012

Hi All,

I made some improvements since.

First of all, I managed to launch ./server :

aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ ./server
16:20:19 Dedicated host created.
16:20:20 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.162)
16:20:20 Host identity created.
ArmA 2 OA Console version 1.62 : port 2302

Then I got everything OK when I do ./arma2oaserver check :

aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ ./arma2oaserver check
ArmA 2 directory: /opt/arma2oa OK
Server executable: /opt/arma2oa/server OK
Port number: 2302
Config file: server.cfg OK
PID file: /opt/arma2oa/2302.pid
RUN file: /opt/arma2oa/2302.run

but I still have issues by doing ./arma2oaserver start :

aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ ./arma2oaserver start
Stopping ArmA 2 server...
Starting ArmA 2 server...
aladin@armaserver:/opt/arma2oa$ nohup: redirige stderr sur stdout

I still do not find the server on the Internet list, I'm investigating but maybe it is viewable cause I saw some connected briefly to it.

Regards,

Abou Sanchez

visceralsyn · October 16, 2010

When you run './arma2oaserver start', make sure you don't already have a server running. You can use top, to check, and kill the other running server, if you have one already running.

...Syn...

AbouSanchez · October 6, 2012

Hi All,

Thx for your contribution.

Server is running now and viewable from outside.

./arma2oaserver is still not running properly, but ./server is already nice.

I'll try to resolve it by myself, it will be a good exercise.

I'll update the post when found for next (if there is still) guys.

I am interested in how this goes... I already have a server running server 2008 and currently found a cheap 2nd hand HP Proliant DL380 G5 2U Server 2x Xeon Quad 3.16GHz which I want to use Ubuntu.... It should be a challenge to setup.

Not really. It's been done before, it's well doable with a little support from the forums. I missed this thread completely previously, but AbouSanchez had ARMA_DIR=/ in the first line, which should have been ARMA_DIR=/opt/arma2oa

I would expect that tanaka didn't run tolower, because the linux server can't deal with uppercase letters, and the mission name listed is showing uppercase letters, so effectively there are no missions for the linux server to run. That doesn't explain why he had a black screen though, so more info would be needed to figure out what else might be wrong.

Overlord · September 15, 2006

Well, the server didn't find any suitable missions to run then, been there, done that ;)

Was completely off my mind just then, (wrongly) I recon they had followed the basics, cause the whole server setup process is deeply explained in several threads. Most important change now is the latest GCC libs.

Save the cash for now. You should not upload the DLC folders to your server. Remove the whole PMC folder (and any other official DLC installations such as BAF you may have uploaded) and try again.
