Hey,
A friend of mine is having a few problems with his linux server.. its up and running fine, the only problem we are having is with mods.
Only one mod is installed on the server (finmod) and whatever we try we can't get the server to start with the mod. We're both sure that its something totally stupid, as we had the same problem before but forgot to back the server up when migrating to a more powerful machine.

So any pointers on getting the server to start with finmod ?
