Trying to setup a server

~kev~ · 04-04-2009, 11:34 PM

This is for a linux dedicated server.

Where am I supposed to install the srcds? When you log into shell, your in the root home directory. Are you supposed to move out of that directory? Or start the install from right there?

I created a user account, went into that users account and started the install process, but it keeps timing out.

Rawh put this together for linux. Linux Server Set Up

Also you might want to try http://srcds.com

But pretty much I would create a folder C:/srcds install the hlds update tool there then run the linux commands.

/slap

linux does not have a c:/

Follow the linux manual as 82694 already mentioned and you'll be fine!

For some reason I am getting a time out when I run steam updater ./steam. This same thing happened when I tried to setup FF on a VPS. The script times out when checking the bootstrapper version.

After looking through google, I found lots of people having the same problem. But only one person on the steam forums posted a possible fix, and that is to edit the ip chains firewall config file.

But, I can not find that config file on my server. I might have to open a trouble ticket with my hosting provider.

I have already searched there - several times.

The only thing I am coming up with, it might might be a firewall issue. In that case, what port does steam use to update?
