Please provide us with feedback to this topic. Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead - Linux Standalone Server 1.57 =============================================================== Copyrigt © 2010 Bohemia Interactive Studio. All rights reserved. For more information please visit http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Dedicated_Server Installation instructions: ========================== 1. Following programs must have been installed on your Linux-box: tar, gcc. Optional: md5sum (for setup integrity check) 1a. On some verions of Linux (this was reported for RedHat 9 and Gentoo linux 2.4.20) the NSCD deamon must be installed to run ArmA 2 server successfully. Caching of DNS would be sufficient. 2. Copy the whole "ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead" directory from Windows to some Linux-directory (arma2arrowhead). DON'T DO ANY DATA CONVERSIONS (even "dos2unix" translation of text files is not necessary). Example: you can use PKZIP (WinZip, PowerArchiver, etc.) on Windows and "unzip" on Linux. Don't use upper case letters in the ArmA2 directory name (/home/bob/arma2arrowhead will be good, /home/bob/ArmA2ArrowHead may cause some troubles). ArmA2 directory should contain subdirectories "Addons", "Bin", "Campaigns", etc. 3. Copy the "server-x.xx.tar.gz" (x.xx is version number) file into the arma2arrowhead directory. Unpack and install it with commands: arma2arrowhead$ tar -xjf server-x.xx.tar.bz2 arma2arrowhead$ ./install Watch the messages - they will inform you whether your installation is successful. 4. Dedicated server can be started in foreground: arma2arrowhead$ ./server Or in background: o$ nohup ./server > out.txt 2> err.txt & [1] <pid> 5. Running server can be stopped by executing: $ kill -s SIGINT <pid> Where <pid> is process-id of mother server thread (printed out in "nohup" command). 6. ArmA2 ArrowHead server has a feature: command-line parameter "-pid=<pid_file>". It causes creation of <pid_file> with PID of root ArmA2 process. If IP port specified in "-port=<nn>" parameter is busy (in usage), ArmA2 will terminate immediately and <pid_file> won't be written.. 7. The "arma2server" script is provided for automatic server start/restart/status query/etc. Please be sure to edit CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS in lines 12 to 18 ! After this is done, install (hard-link?) the script into "/etc/rc.d/init.d/arma2server" file. After that it can be managed by "chkconfig" (see info/man). previous thread about 1.56 beta linux : http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=110772 Edited December 23, 2010 by Dwarden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Defunkt 431 Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) When using multihomed parameter (-ip=) with the post-1.57.76934 beta I get... 23:09:42 Dedicated host created. 23:09:43 Cannot start host on port 2302. Error: createPeer failed Error: createPeer failed Error: createPeer failed Error: createPeer failed Error: createPeer failed Error: createPeer failed I was hoping the option to declare IP explicitly would help with a GameSpy reporting issue I'm experiencing (described HERE). Instead I get no listing (rather than a listing with 2500 ping) and the server cannot be reached at all (even when entering the IP via Remote) though the process continues to run. Thanks.

killswitch 19 Posted December 24, 2010 When using multihomed parameter (-ip=) with the post-1.57.76934 beta I get... 23:09:42 Dedicated host created. 23:09:43 Cannot start host on port 2302.

Instead I get no listing (rather than a listing with 2500 ping) and the server cannot be reached at all (even when entering the IP via Remote) though the process continues to run. Thanks. I can launch the Linux 1.57.76934 server with -ip=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd just fine, so I don't think that's the cause of your problem. Notice the 23:09:43 Cannot start host on port 2302. Sometimes, when you do ./arma2oaserver stop to stop the dedi, it isn't actually stopped, so double-check that there isn't an ArmA II process running when you try to launch it again. If there already is a server running, it will have "taken" port 2302 and that explains the error message you're seeing. You can use the ps command to show the currently running processes. If an ArmA II server is running there will be two processes related to that - the server itself and a bash process which runs the start script watchdog: $ ps aux ... ... 16635 pts/0 S 0:00 /bin/bash ./arma2oaserver watchdog 16637 pts/0 Sl 0:18 /srv/arma2/server -server -config=server.cfg -port=2302 -pid=/srv/arma2/2302.pid -cpucount=2 -ip=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd ... ... If you then run ./arma2oaserver stop and those two processes aren't gone after that, use the kill command to stop them. Using the results of the above ps command output, I would run $ kill 16635 16637 to really stop the ArmA II server. The actual process ID numbers will vary, of course.

Defunkt 431 Posted December 24, 2010 Must have been the case as I just tried it again and the server launched okay and is viewable in the server list (but still with the 2500 ping unfortunately). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted December 24, 2010 good , at least we know the multihome is working properly (multiple users confirmed) even on linux :) i'm afraid the problem with packets must be dealt with Amazon (theirs routers/firewalls/server hosting) or GameSpy (theirs protocol and master server) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
byteslam 10 Posted December 25, 2010 ...I am abroad and unable to patch/update the server for our gamers (just online with usb stick) until 4th January. Unfortunatly, BI is still unable to provide a update package for Linux with everything included. Can someone help me out with an rsync source to a already patched server?

ShadowHatesYou 10 Posted January 24, 2011 You should never run a non-system daemon as root, and never run *any* daemon as root that doesn't do proper privilege dropping to the least-privileged user(generally "nobody"). If the application is compromised(IE, buffer overflow) you just handed over root access to the attacker. Normally, he/she'd have to do a privilege escalation from nobody to root with another exploit/misconfiguration(IE, a setuid program that lets you bang out a fork(!/bin/bash). If setuid, nmap --interactive is an example) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
