arma1server1.18 linux ded server probs

[Rothgar 0]

Hi All,

I'm trying to migrate arma to a new linux box and while the install appears to have worked and the armaserver status says everything is working, I'm not getting a visible server on the client side. I've checked all the port forwarding and I know that is working. I'm hoping to get Arma2 serving on the linux box as soon as the order arrives.

The WinXP server shows up on the master list instantly, but when I switch over to linux server I don't see a listing and I cannot connect to the IP using remote either.

New box:

AMD quad core, 2gig ram, Ubuntu 9.10 server (64bit)

Old box:

Pentium 3, 1 gig ram, Windows XP Pro (32 bit)

Well..

I scrapped Ubuntu 9.1 and did a 8.04 install. I got tss2 to run fine and managed to get the arma server installed and running. However, after I connected to the arma server(running ACE 1.09) I would get the motd and the "waiting for host" message, then it would just keep waiting. Nothing happened after that.

I can see the server on the master list (ping is ?) and it'll let me connect, but I still get stuck at "waiting for host"

Here's the Log File:

WATCHDOG (5526): [sat Jan 30 14:19:03 EST 2010] Starting server (port 2302)...

Any suggestions or insight?

Ok, got it working.

One thing to check, is whether the mission file called in the server.cfg is in the /mpmissions folder. It was a big mistake on my part, because I copied all the arma files from my client box instead of the old windows server box.

The other thing is the /user folder, which I have no idea where it came from or how it was generated. Again, it was on the old server box but not on the client box.

Now I'll try to install the latest ubuntu 64bit server version and try again.

Cheers!

Sean
