maruk 80 Posted September 17, 2007 Most detailed available information about usage of ArmA Dedicated Server software can be found at ArmA Wiki Page Beta of dedicated server for Linux version 1.08.5064 is available from BI ftp server. Share your observations and problems on the forums. Quote[/b] ]ArmA - Linux Standalone Server 1.08 =================================== Copyrigt © 2007 Bohemia Interactive Studio. All rights reserved. For more information please visit http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Dedicated_Server Installation instructions: ========================== 1. Following programs must have been installed on your Linux-box: tar, gcc. Optional: md5sum (for setup integrity check) 1a. On some verions of Linux (this was reported for RedHat 9 and Gentoo linux 2.4.20) the NSCD deamon must be installed to run ArmA server successfully. Caching of DNS would be sufficient. 1b. ArmA Server is using shared libraries. w3c-libwww library must be installed on your system. 2. Copy the whole "ArmA" directory from Windows to some Linux-directory (ArmA). 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 ArmA directory name (/home/bob/arma will be good, /home/bob/ArmA may cause some troubles). ArmA directory should contain subdirectories "Addons", "Bin", "Campaigns", etc. 3. Copy the "server-x.xx.tar.gz" (x.xx is version number) file into the ArmA directory. Unpack and install it with commands: arma$ tar -xjf server-x.xx.tar.bz2 arma$ ./install Watch the messages - they will inform you whether your installation is successful. 4. Dedicated server can be started in foreground: arma$ ./server Or in background: o$ nohup ./server > out.txt 2> err.txt & [1] <pid> 5. Running server can be stopped by executing: $ kill -s SIGINT <pid> Where <pid> is process-id of mother server thread (printed out in "nohup" command). 6. ArmA server has a feature: command-line parameter "-pid=<pid_file>". It causes creation of <pid_file> with PID of root ArmA process. If IP port specified in "-port=<nn>" parameter is busy (in usage), ArmA will terminate immediately and <pid_file> won't be written.. 7. The "armaserver" script is provided for automatic server start/restart/status query/etc. Please be sure to edit CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS in lines 12 to 18 ! After this is done, install (hard-link?) the script into "/etc/rc.d/init.d/armaserver" file. After that it can be managed by "chkconfig" (see info/man).
