Fox86 0 Posted December 8, 2005 Our clan has a AMD 64 powered Server with Suse Linux 9.3 (64bit Edition) installed. Our Problem: Everytime we switch on the server with "./ofpserver start, it says "starting server.." but when I look into the log files i see that the server is crashed a few seconds later: Logfile: WATCHDOG (2685): [Di Dez 6 07:37:16 CET 2005] Starting server (port 2302)... 7:37:16 Dedicated server created, memory used: 3180 KB WATCHDOG (2685): [Di Dez 6 07:37:16 CET 2005] Server died, waiting to restart... WATCHDOG (2685): [Di Dez 6 07:37:21 CET 2005] Starting server (port 2302)... 7:37:21 Dedicated server created, memory used: 3180 KB WATCHDOG (2685): [Di Dez 6 07:37:21 CET 2005] Server died, waiting to restart... WATCHDOG (2685): [Di Dez 6 07:37:26 CET 2005] Starting server (port 2302)... Thats what we have done so far: We have installed the OFP1.96 serverfiles for Linux, there were no error messages during the installation. I editied the ofpserver file with a linux-editor to make evrything fit to our roots. The Gamefiles are correctly installed (all with small letters) at /home/game_ofp/ofp The first lines of our ofpserver file: OFP_DIR=/home/game_ofp/ofp CONFIG=${OFP_DIR}/server.cfg PORT=2302 PIDFILE=/home/game_ofp/ofp_server.${PORT}.pid RUNFILE=/home/game_ofp/ofp_server.${PORT}.run LOGFILE=${OFP_DIR}/log.${PORT}.txt SERVER=${OFP_DIR}/server The Port 2302 is opend. the gamefiles are all there. CHMOD777 also given on the roots. The server.cfg is also added properly. We have also tried the Suse 8 libs, no success. Can anyone help us? Or is OFP not working on a 64bit Linux system???

killswitch 19 Posted December 8, 2005 Can anyone help us? Or is OFP not working on a 64bit Linux system??? The OFP Linux server works fine on a 64-bit system. What you need is a few older system libraries and some startup script "tricks" in order to have the OFP server use these instead of the default system ones (which are "too new", likely due to either 1) library ABI breakage or 2) bad assumptions made w/regards to system libraries during the ofp server compilation/build process 3) a bit of both) Forum member benu has summarised all this in a very nice thread which shows you exactly how to do it: Linux server setup howto Now, if we could only get the latest 1.96c server recompiled for more modern Linux systems...
