cooking with gas/new server

[soulfly83 1]

finaly getting somewhere, am trying to setup arma2 server for now untill oa is uploaded again (dont ask)

i believe i now have arma2 installed correct, do i need to add a server config?

wanna try get this server live and get used to how it works, so i know whats what when oa upload is finished

EDIT: got the server live, got a config example and edited it.

now that ive got the above fixed, next question :D

on the read me it says

7. The "arma2server" script is provided for automatic server

start/restart/status query/etc. Please be sure to edit

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS in lines 12 to 18 !

After this is done, install (hard-link?) the script into

"/etc/rc.d/init.d/arma2server" file. After that it can be managed

by "chkconfig" (see info/man).

not 100% sure what to do here, any helps appreciated

i think there aint enough memory to run the server, is the following spec good enough?

75 GB Disk Space

800 GB Bandwidth

Network Port Speed 1000 MBPS

CPU Cores 2 Core Access @2.4GHz

Dedicated RAM 1024 MB (1.0 GB)

also have a ts3 server runing

I find many things about your thread annoying - the useless thread title, lack of information and unwillingness to do some research.

If this is your first time running a dedicated server, start off using your own PC. It's much easier to use your own PC as a dedicated server and work out all the config files and such that way.

1GB RAM is enough to run a ARMA2 server if you run basic missions with limited slots. You could run a 32 player PvP mission pretty safely, but once you start adding AI the RAM usage may go up. Most of the missions I've seen use about 700MB of RAM only, even with 30-40 players.

Of course if you want to run TS3 and your OS with that 1GB of RAM as well, you won't manage, even if it's just a Linux server.

Either way, sounds like you've got a VPS there and your HDD, RAM, CPU and Network will all be contended (shared) with others, so those are your (theoretical) maximums you will never realistically achieve. You'll need more RAM at least, and better off renting an old dedicated server if you can afford it.
