Hey guys, a few weeks ago I tried several times to set up an ArmA2 OA Server on my linux root. I followed several howto's, but every time I just get errors when starting the server. I'm not able to provide any logs, because the server was reinstalled a few days ago. Does anyone has a working howto? My clanmates starting to become angry, because the server is still not running. My second problem is, that I have an uploaded ArmA2 OA installation with patch 1.60. Is there any possibility to patch these files to the actual patch? Kind regards Retcher

Hey, I've rolled backup to 1.60. At the moment when I get the errors nothing of 1.62 is implemted. The server files version ist 1.60 94743. I separated the updated files of 1.62 in an other directory and have made a backup of the 1.60 files, so don't have to upload them again if I make a mistake.

So guys I just checked if I can join the server but it wasn't possible. Everytime a user wants to join, I get this output: 16:33:55 Dedicated host created. 16:33:56 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.126) 16:33:56 Host identity created.

Also the update to 1.62 has failed. I uploaded every changed file, like Overlord said. This were about 50 MB.

Thanks for your help guys, server seems to run fine. At the moment I haven't installed ArmA myself so I cann't check it.

Hey guys, which server version should I use? The last 1.60 beta or the stable once? @Overlord: Thanks for this tip. I'll try this.

Hi, thank you for your help. I will try this at the weekend. But first I've to upload the new version of ArmA 2 OA :(

Hey guys, I would like to set up a mirror for the ArmA2 patches. How do I have to do this? Some years ago I set up a mirror for CentOS and at the moment my server is a little bit boring. Can someone please privode me the steps I have to do? Kind regards Retcher
