Pb with dedicated linux server 1.91c

[vinci 0]

Hi there,

I've installed the linux server 1.91c on redhat 9.0.

I did what the following readme file say:

*********************************************

1. Following programs must have been installed on your Linux-box:

 uudecode, gunzip, gcc. Optional: md5sum (for setup integrity check)

2. Copy the whole "OperationFlashpoint" directory from Windows

 to some Linux-directory (OFP). DON'T DO ANY DATA CONVERSIONS

 (even "dos2unix" translation of text files is not necessary).

 Example: you can use PKZIP (WinZip, PowerArchiver, etc.) on

 Windows and "unzip" on Linux.

    Don't use upper case letters in the OFP directory name

 (/home/bob/ofp will be good, /home/bob/OperationFlashpoint

 may cause some troubles).

    OFP directory should contain subdirectories "Addons", "Bin",

  "Campaigns", etc.

3. Copy the "server-x.xx.shar.gz" (x.xx is version number) file into

 the OFP directory. Unpack and install it with commands:

 ofp$ gunzip server-x.xx.shar.gz

 ofp$ sh server-x.xx.shar

 Watch the messages - they will inform you whether your installation

 is successful.

4. Dedicated server can be started in foreground:

 ofp$ ./server

**********************************************

Installation ok

But when i execute ./server i have this:

2:25:05 Dedicated server created, memory used: 7208 KB

Server creation failed : 2302

Can someone help me?

Thank a lot.

PS: I DO NOT HAVE ACTIVE FIREWALL

Hmm, hard to say exactly right away. However, try this:

1st Ensure all files are properly placed, have the same ownership, and read/write/execute priviledges. Use 'chmod' and 'chown' to do so.

2nd Run './tolower' to lowercase all files in the the flashpoint directory.

3rd Configure your 'server.cfg' file. There should be a default server config file you can use.

4rth Use the following command to execute the server:

nohup ./server -config=server.cfg > out.txt 2> err.txt &

5th check your processes, using 'ps -Afw', to ensure server is running and check your 'err.txt' file, using 'more err.txt'.

Let us know how it goes. GoodLuck!

That "server creation failed" happened to a few people on this board, windows and linux servers alike and if iirc there was never a solution found

Well, I've recently changed ISP (and therefore IP address). I forgot to change my /etc/hosts (containing the old public IP address for my own system), and I got the 'server creation failed' message. After changing (or rather, clearing out) /etc/hosts , the server started up just fine.

So this may be related to a (reverse) name lookup not working as it should; it did in my case anyway...

I upgraded to RedHat 9 last weekend and ran into the same problem.  The server which used to work on RedHat 7.1, did not work on RH9.0

It took me a while, but I figured it out...  Yes, the server does indeed work on RedHat Linux 9.

Your linux box needs to be running the nscd (name service cache daemon), have a properly configured hostname in /sysconfig/network, and also, your hostname must appear with the appropriate address in /etc/hosts.

That's all. L8r,

Jorge.

Thanks a lot for all your help.

The last solution works fine.

When i launch the nscd daemon it's work well.

Bye.

See you soon.

Segmentation fault

I had the same problem...

I reinstalled from scratch and used the gnome interface along with xwindows options while installing

so far i have not had the problem since.
