Linux Dedicated Server feedback

hlfritz · January 27, 2012

zona-gamer and DaOrange, how did you get the correct libstdc++ version (3.15) onto your system? centos latest has gcc 4.4.7 which only has up to libstdc++ 3.13.

http://www.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/centos/6.5/i386/Packages/libstdc++-4.4.7-4.el6.i686.html

that is the same as what gets installed with 6.5 or latest updates.

Im also interested by the answer for a debian 6 !! :rolleyes:

CentOS release 6.5 (Final)

Im using a CentOS server, so Im trying to keep this howto as generic as possible:
1. download and install openjdk 1.7 32 Bit version (the one with i386 or i686 in the name, not the one with amd64 or x86_64 in its name). There may be dependencies which need to be taken care of.

2. extend your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable with the path to libjvm.so (use find / -name "libjvm.so") by typing

--> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.45/jre/lib/i386/server/ (path should work for CentOS 6.5, but is probably different on other distros)

--> either add that to your ~/.bashrc or to the start script

3. create the directory you want steamcd install to and change to it

4. use steamcmd to install the A3 linux server package, use that script: http://pastebin.com/hcpMpmaZ

This script will install the steamcmd utility and download (and later update) your desired server apps automatically almost w/o interaction.

5. copy that script to the folder you created before (in my case /arma3/steamcmd)

6. edit the following parameters in the header of that script:

- STEAM_USER

- STEAM_PASS

- DL_DIR0

- DL_SV0

For STEAM_USER you cannot use the anonymous account, you either have to use your user or create a new steamuser just for that purpose.

STEAM_PASS is hopefully obvious.

DL_DIR0 needs to be relative path like DL_DIR0=../publicA3 (which in my case maps to /arma3/publicA3, dont use a trailing slash)

Set DL_SV0=233780

If you want to have more than one A3 server instance you can add several directories with DL_DIR1, DL_SV1 etc.

7. run this script, it will install steamcmd and the A3 linux server bins.

8. optional: set ownership and permissions of the A3 server folder according to the user you'll run the server with (if it's not the same during installation)

9. write server config (server.cfg)

10. download this script and edit the variables according to your settings.

11. sudo -u youra3serveruser publica3.sh start or just ./publica3.sh start

12. have phun :)

I've written this almost just out of memory, so I hope I got everything right :)

Rename mission folder from mpmissions to MPMissions or create a symlink.

Hi,

i've done all described in you post (using ubuntu server).

I've installed steamcmd and the amra3 server.

i've added the following line to the ".bashrc" in my home directory

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/lib/i386/jamvm

I've downloaded your script an change the config parameters:

#!/bin/bash

#

# armaserver: ArmA 2 Linux Dedicated Server Control Script

# ArmA 2 binary version must be 1.04 or later

The Server starts with the following Info:

but it won't start. He creates the 2302.run file but nothing more. He gives no info.

Any ideas?

Thx

What's the output if you run $ ./arma3server in your arma directory?

daoarge · January 19, 2010

Plz look closely how the variables are defined in the script --> for example ARMA_DIR is defined like ARMA_DIR=/arma3/publicA3 that means it's defined as an absolute path (leading slash), because a lot of other variables depend on this variable. Since you defined this variable as relative path (->ARMA_DIR=a3server), the script gets confused. Plz try defining ARMA_DIR as absolute path.

@Chippy: Concerning your PM, I think you're experiencing the same problem.

I tried to launch arma3server (linux native) with the parameter -maxmen=4048 and the server crash.

If you put -maxmen=4047 parameter, it seem than the server run but when you launch a mission instead run it return to the select slot screen when load is finished.

If you use -maxmem parameter must not be used a value upper 2047 because arma3server linux native donÂ´t manage more memory correctly and show errors as:
