Another hint: if you only want to host the dedicated server for ArmA2 and no other service (like web, ftp, mail and so on), 32bit is enough, cause the server is built under 32bit linux. If you use 64bit linux, consider installing 32bit-compatibility-libraries (or what it is called). You can find information about this here in the forum. So, less trouble with 32bit.

Use the linux you know. If you don't know linux, learn linux before setting up a box for a dedicated server which is somehow connected to the internet. You should know about security, firewall and so on. And everybody will say, that the linux they use, is the best, because they know it best. I use debian, but have also knowledge over redhat, suse and gentoo.

no...

Hi all, have not found anything about it in the forum. Why it says ARMA 2 1.05.62021 Linux Standalone Server on the official ArmA2 update site in the header and in the version info, but when I download it, I will get version 1.04.61018? Also the Wiki says: The md5sum for the downloaded file is ok, but it is always 1.04.61018. What is wrong? Or, where can I get the real 1.05.62021 from?

as you can see in the first post at the bottom, I have found the problem. Was a mistake by me. That's why the thread can be deleted.

You need to buy a copy of ArmA2 to be allowed to install a server. If BIS use rsync or whatever service for the updates, a lot of people, who don't pay for a copy, can set up a server using the service. So the best would be an updater for linux. I have to upload nearly everything after updating to 1.05. And if you only have 70kB/sec upload, this takes ages for the 8 GB of data. And if your connection reconnects (every 24 hours in germany), then the upload is broken sometimes and you have to upload some files two times or more often.

[CiA] running the server on debian. no problem so far.

signed. running Comrades in Arms [CiA] ofp-server on linux since 2002...

All the linux-admins have to wait, till the linux-version is out. Like with OFP and ArmA1, the linux server will be released some weeks/months after windows server. So we have to wait. It will come some day. We [CiA] also only have a linux server and still want the server as soon as possible, but we have to wait. So long we still host our regular OFP sessions. That's life..... Greets Lobanak

It will be like with OFP and ArmA. Linux will take along time :mad:

Our server is now updated to Version 1.14. Please download the update from the official site. Greets [CiA]Lobanak

Sorry for the downtime of the server, but it was not our fault. The power supply went down and nobody was there at the hosting center at Nürnberg to fix it at sunday. But they fixed it today in the morning so that the CO-OP nights can continue. Greets [CiA]Lobanak

Have you enabled equalMod required in your config file? than this is the problem.

We noticed the same problem on our debian etch 32 bit linux server. So I think it's not a processor problem.

I have little knowledge of coding and I have wi*** running on my workstation at home and so I'm also a mouse pusher. And I know that coding for windows and linux is different when you don't use cross-platform libraries. I don't know how the core is coded and I don't know about the functions of DirectX, but as long as the server don't need a GUI (as you have written), why the heck the server should need DirectX? When you know from beginning, that you want to release a linux server, you can implement the core functionalities needed for communication with a server without the need of DirectX.

I know how it was with the ofp linux server. It took a long time till it was released. Same with ArmA again. I thought BIS learned a bit from the OFP times, but seems not to be. Maybe they don't have a linux coder anymore or not a good one. The coders are mostly "mouse pushers", cause ArmA runs on wi*** and so they need to know how to code on this and not on linux. Many people run a linux web server for their sites and so want to run the linux server on it also. Like me. I don't want to set up a wi*** box for my web server, which is also handling mail and other things. Hope we hear some info from BIS soon. Greets [CiA]Lobanak

Hi all, long time nothing written in the forum. But now I have a problem with the linux server after upgrading to debian etch. I always get a segmentation fault when I try to start the server. Somebody know, what can happen this? Somewhere in my brain there is a knowledge of installing compatibility modules of libc6 or something. but I don't know if this is right. Thanks [CiA]Lobanak

Thank you very much. I tried to search, but linux always only was found in the ArmA forum and not in the OFP forum. Don't know what the problem was. Some problem with the search? OFP no more included? Some time ago it was working without problems searching for linux. Have to try again sometime. Greets [CiA]Lobanak

Just got the following error: Cannot create 3D device: Adapter 0 (Nvidia Geforce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8x) Fullscreen Resolution 800x600, format X8R8G8BB/A8R8G8BB/D24S8, refresh 75Hz. Error D3DERR_INVALIDCALL Is my card too old?

Window named ArmA popping up with the following every time when I start. No entry c:\dokumente und einstellungen\alex\Eigene Dateien\ArmA\ArmA.cfg.3D_Performance ArmA was installed from DVD, then patch 1.01. No start with 1.0 cause of too old graphic card.

damn.... so all the x-mas money is away for buying a new card :-(

Comrades in Arms will host as soon as linux dedi is out and I have the game in hands. We will continue our gaming nights like our FDF-COOP-nights.

Try registering again. Should work now. Some updates uploaded and worked for me now, after some tests which where not working.
