Linux server does not start

Recommended Posts

i tryed to run linux beta on my redhat 7.3 servers but my efforts are in vain so far. i startet the *.shar file ( after installing some libs ) and it convertet everyting to lower. then if i want to start the server ... there is nothing .. no error msg and no entrys in out.log and err.log.

[root@cs006 ofp.test]# ./server-1.85b.shar

Operation Flashpoint Resistance dedicated server 1.85b

x - creating lock directory

x - extracting server (binary)

x - extracting tolower.cpp (binary)

Converting OFP directory:

1 file-names were converted

then:

[root@cs006 ofp.test]# ./server > out.txt 2> err.txt &

[1] 2599

but the process does not show up in the process list ... has a time to live from less than 0.1 sec.

testet on a sun cobalt LX50 ( dual tualatin 1.4 2 gig ram ), dual pIII 1000 2 gig ram. os is always Linux RedHat 7.3 ( dont tell me suse etc... to use 4 servers, thats 4 clients :Å¢ )

any suggestins are very well appreciated ..

Had that problem, too, at first. Try running strace. My server was missing the flashpoint.cfg...

Did you copy data files (mainly folders Res and MPMissions) and Flashpoint.cfg file?

I had the same problem. I found that adding

Product="Resistance";

To my flashpoint.cfg file convinced it to start...
