So, after that slightly imaginative title to catch your eye, I'll lay it out.
I am a complete utter linux noob. Hence, for the purposes of this thread, assume you are talking to your grandmother who thinks that the big box is the harddrive and that Linux is a disease you catch if you're outside in the rain... Or something.
Anyway, the tiny clan I am a part of have gotten interested in ArmA2, and find outselves in need of a server. Luckily, I happen to have a VPS that might serve our needs, so we (read: I) don't have to shell out for a game server provider to set it up for us. The problem is that it runs CentOS, and nothing else, which means I have to delve into the deep and dark hole that is Linux. So far, it's not been going horribly. I got the game transfered, I got the server installed, and I can start the server. But then, nothing happens. I've opened ports left and right, I've set up the server.cfg and edited arma2oaserver, I've restarted it, I've banged my head against it (Figuratively, I live in Northern Norway, the server is in Germany. I may have a huge ego, but not even my ego reaches to Germany), and it won't appear in the server list.
Then I noticed that my log file was somewhere in the vicinity of 20 MBs. So I killed the server, deleted the log file and then started the server up again and let it run for ten minutes.
So, without further bad jokes, here are the server.cfg, the arma2oaserver and the log file after 10 minutes, on pastebin for your convenience:
Actually, apparently I'm not allowed to post links until I have a post. So I'll try editing them in, if not, I'll just double post and hope I don't get burned at the stake.
Log file
arma2oaserver
server.cfg
Also, I should note, the log file has had duplicates removed.
On a second note: Running the server for 10 minutes created about 12 200MB files called core.XXXXXX (Xs being numbers). I assume this is not normal, anyone know why?
