Hi, thanks for your reply. After trying your suggestions and making the changes I got a different error when i tried to start it:
-sh-3.2$ ./server -cfg=basic.cfg -config=server.cfg
16:36:41 Dedicated host created.
16:36:41 BattlEye initialization failed
Server creation failed : 2302
I also tried the arma2server file it started but i was unable to find the server.
I ran check and heres the output.
-sh-3.2$ ./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
Everything seems to be ok, but im not too sure.
Thanks
Ah ha it seems to be the Battleye thing, just disabled it and it started up fine. Strange
