I had a similar problem with lower.c not compiling though I had checked gcc was installed, I think perhaps it was not in my arma (non-root) user's path (or whatever is the Linux equivalent). What I did was seek out the following shell script (I uploaded as lower.sh, then made executable with chmod 777 lower.sh then ran with ./lower.sh) to recurse through sub-directories setting everything to lower case (only need to do it once between updates), it may be that those errors are the result of some files still being in mixed case.

Use at your own risk, I don't sprechen sie Linux terribly good.

What user are you running it as?

Have you set the correct permissions on all files and folders?

i.e. chown <username>:users <gamedir> -R

What's entered in the arma2server configuration block?

ARMA_DIR=.

CONFIG=server.cfg

PORT=2302

PIDFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/${PORT}.pid

RUNFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/${PORT}.run

LOGFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/log.${PORT}.txt

SERVER=${ARMA_DIR}/server

[CrZy 10]

yes the user that i use it s the owner of the directory. and permissions are in 775.

i have got all in the arma2 directory.

that is my arma2server configuration:

ARMA_DIR=arma2

CONFIG=server.cfg

PORT=2302

PIDFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/${PORT}.pid

RUNFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/${PORT}.run

LOGFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/log.${PORT}.txt

SERVER=${ARMA_DIR}/server

[Defunkt 431]

What folder are you running this from? According to your config block it should be the folder above your \arma2\ directory. If you're running it from the same folder then ARMA_DIR should be

ARMA_DIR=.

Other than that I have no idea, hopefully Killswitch will pass by this way.

That'll be my suggestion aswell. :) ARMA_DIR should be left at "." or be set to the full path to the directory where ArmA II is. For example:

ARMA_DIR=/home/someuser/arma2

ok i try ;)

thx

no it doesn t work but i have change value:

because im in home/myuser/arma2

and in arma2 i have got rep like addons, dta, etc...

and the standalone linux files....

now this is my arma2server cfg:

ARMA_DIR=.

CONFIG=server.cfg

PORT=2302

PIDFILE=/2302.pid

RUNFILE=/2302.run

LOGFILE=/log.2302.txt

SERVER=./server

and with these value i havent got error when i launch ./arma2server check

ArmA 2 directory: . OK

Server executable: ./server OK

Port number: 2302

Config file: server.cfg OK

PID file: /2302.pid

RUN file: /2302.run

:~/arma2$

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

now i ve got error another error with the permissions ....

i dont understand because i ve got all right with these files:

i m the owner and i put in 0777

thats the console message:

starting ArmA 2 server...

./arma2server: line 31: /2302.run: Permission non accordée

nohup: redirecting stderr to stdout

Keep the default values there:

ARMA_DIR=.
CONFIG=server.cfg
PORT=2302
PIDFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/${PORT}.pid
RUNFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/${PORT}.run
LOGFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/log.${PORT}.txt
SERVER=${ARMA_DIR}/server

When you use for example

RUNFILE=/2302.run

it means that the server will try to write to a file in the root of the file system ("/"). You aren't allowed to do that.

ok i retry by default bu ti have the same message :

Starting ArmA 2 server...

nohup: redirecting stderr to stdout

i don t understand why it doesn t work.....

the ./server it work perfectly and i can play ......

when you make an ./arma2server check

what have you got ??????

ok i retry by default bu ti have the same message :

nohup: redirecting stderr to stdout

The nohup message is diagnostic and should not affect things. However, it shouldn't be visible at all if you use the original arma2server script that comes with BIS dedicated server tar archive.

i don t understand why it doesn t work.....

the ./server it work perfectly and i can play ......

when you make an ./arma2server check

what have you got ??????

As an example, here's how it looks when you do it for an A2 server installed in the home directory of a user called "foo", in a subdirectory named "a2s":

[foo@localhost a2s]$ ./arma2server check
ArmA 2 directory: /home/foo/a2s/arma2server OK
Server executable: /home/foo/a2s/arma2server/server OK
Port number: 2302
Config file: server.cfg OK
PID file: /home/foo/a2s/arma2server/2302.pid
RUN file: /home/foo/a2s/arma2server/2302.run
[foo@localhost a2s]$

When I run the server using the start script, this is all that's printed:

[foo@localhost a2s2]$ ./arma2server start
Starting ArmA 2 server...
[foo@localhost a2s]$

this is my log 2302

It looks as if there are several server instances running at the same time. First, run "./arma2server stop", and then use

$ ps ax|grep "arma2server"

to find the other arma2 server processes. There are going to be two processes for each arma2 instance running - one bash script watchdog process and the actual arma2 server. Example:

$ ps ax | grep "arma2server"
11722 pts/0    S      0:00 /bin/bash ./arma2server watchdog
11724 pts/0    Sl     0:24 /home/foo/a2s/server -server -config=server.cfg -port=2302 -pid=/home/foo/a2s/2302.pid

In this example, one would have to do

$ kill 11722 11724

to get rid of it.

Then kill all of them and their associated watchdog process (it will be a bash process). (If that's too complicated, just reboot the server)

Also, could you show us how your "server.cfg" file looks? I think it has a few errors in it...
