joltan 0 Posted March 12, 2003 Ok, I'm giving up - I don't know what's up. I made a mission to test our addons pack, and it's working fine when playing in SP or with a local host. However as soon as I put it on our dedicated server (linux 1.90f, all addons 100% identical, all filenames in small caps) it ceases working. I see the mission in the list, but when I select it, I get immediately thrown back to the mission selection. The server log shows me no error message (just gives me the "mission read from bank" message). Ok, it uses quite a lot of addons, so I'm not sure if any of these may be the cause (even when they work fine locally): - Kegetys & Mailman's russian weapon packs - Sdoc's updated UCE russian special forces (Spetz & Naval Infantry) - the new glider parachute by Gandalf - BTR70 - Lavos MT-LB, ZSU-23 & SA-13 - Bas Rangers Now if I knew it was an certain addon, I could just remove it, but I'm doubt that, as it's working like a charm with win32 (not tested on a win32 dedicated server, though). Is this a linux problem, or did my OFP (1.90, now updated to 1.91) make a mistake while compiling the mission (tried several times with both versions). You can get the mission here, if you want to check it out. Edit: yes, all addons needed are listed in the addons section of the mission.sqm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shrike 0 Posted March 12, 2003 We're experiencing the same problems with DKM Comanche maps on our server... It works locally and on a Win32 server but it doesn't on our Linux Box. The installation on the Linux box is a mirror image of my client installation, I only stripped it from single missions, campaigns and HWTL stuff. Idea anyone?

That setup has been working fine since we set it up last december. The only difference are a handfull of new addons, that we put up for testing. So either its one of the new addons (we haven't used the commanche in a mission yet, although its one of the new addons on the server), or its a mission bug. I hope it's the latter as I might be able to fix it then... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LAW Soldier fd 0 Posted March 13, 2003 i've had this problem with numerous maps. usually cd /home/finp/ofp/mpmissions/ chmod a+rx * clears the situation. and making the files owned by the user running the server might help, too. and you might want to check if there's capital letters in the filenames. as in, run the tolower - thingy. --fd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted March 13, 2003 That's a huge problem with Linux -- filenames are case-sensitive. It's not really a flaw in the operating system, but it can cause problems for those who aren't accustomed to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shrike 0 Posted March 13, 2003 erm...of course we are aware of case sensitivity and user rights but in my situation that is not to the problem...it's as if some addons just don't like Linux, even if I fail to see a reason for this coz' it shouldn't make a difference... Not many news on the Linux server from BIS lately...how long will we be stuck with 1.90f? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joltan 0 Posted March 13, 2003 I upload the files as the user that's also running the server, so they are all owned by "ses". Also I always use tolower on them after the upload. Chmod u+x??? Why making them executable? Readable yes (they are), but executable? Thats not nescessary, or all our other missions wouldn't run at all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
