Linux server cannot open addon pbos, regardless of permissions.

Recommended Posts

Hi. I am having a very strange problem. I chmodded all the addon pbos to 777 into attempt to diagnose this error but no avail. If I run the server exe as root, all is well, but I do not want to run as root for security reasons.

WATCHDOG (20104): [Wed Feb  6 16:14:03 EST 2013] Starting server (port 2302)...
Item str_disp_server_control listed twice
Cannot open file '.\addons\air.pbo'

I tried using chmod and chown to no avail. Please help.

What distribution and what version?

If you're running 64-bit you need to install a few 32-bit dependencies:

Later versions of Ubuntu/Debian with multiarch support: zlib1g:i386 and libstdc++6:i386 (which will also install libgcc1:i386, gcc-4.6-base:i386, libc6:i386)

pre-multiarch or other distros they might be called something else, similar to: lib32stdc++6 and lib32z1

Make sure all folders and files are lowercase.

Do not upload the DLC folders to server e.g. BAF or PMC

I am running CentOS 5.9 x86_64. All files are lowercase. The weird thing is that it works perfectly fine in root, although my aim is to get it to run without root.

It could be due to limitations regarding number of open files. Try comparing permitted maximum number of open files for root and unprivileged account

ulimit -Hn
ulimit -Sn

If you're reluctant changing server limitations, try re-upload the file in question. Failed upload is no historical event :)
