Trying to setup a server

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.

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?

TCP Ports
27015
UDP Ports
27015 to 27020

I believe.

Send a message via ICQ to 417
What 82694 listed should enable you to install the *inux server.

If it still doesn't work try opening the additional ports listed below:
UDP 27000 to 27015 inclusive
TCP 27020 to 27039 inclusive

It might just also be Steam. Connecting to their network is always a major pain in the butt and you usually have to redo it several times because of time-outs or it going unresponsive while downloading.

You can also refer here to check Steam's servers status.

You don't need open ports to install a server.
When installing, the game server is acting as a client and pulling down the server program. Most firewalls don't block outgoing ports by default.

Try re-installing hldsupdatetool.
What command are you using to install the server?

Ok, after opening those ports some progress might have been made. Steam said it updated.

But now, when I run this command - ./steam -command update -game hl2mp


I get this error

Quote:
[~/ff_1]# ./steam -command update -game hl2mp
Checking bootstrapper version ...

./steam -command update -game hl2mp -dir srcds

if you don't have one create a srcds directory. srcds should be where your hlds update tool is.

just use "-dir /path/to/where/to/install/server/files/", doesn't have to be the same dir as your hldstool is at. Also be sure to create that dir as it'll just spew errors if it's not accessible

Well, I must have missed something, because I can not find the server.cfg file.

I downloaded the server 2.2 files - extracted them

downloaded the 2.3 update - extracted and overwrote the old files.

https://lap.snt.utwente.nl/dokuwiki/...scom:manual_ff

Quote:
Last but not less important: Configuration of your servers!

In order to get your server to run, with a custom hostname for example or a maplist you prefer, you wil need to edit several files.
Below is a short list of files you can edit (and an explanation of what it might hold):

*
/home/<user>/servers/<servername/FortressForever/cfg/server.cfg - Server configuration variables (like sv_hostname, rcon_password, class limits).
*
/home/<user>/servers/<servername/FortressForever/maplist.txt - Server maprotation file with names of the maps it's running.
There is NO server.cfg in the fortressforever/cfg/ directory.

And after that, how do I start the server?

here try these put them in your fortressforever/cfg folder.
82694.asseater.org/ff/server/server_default.zip

check your fortressforever/cfg/valve.rc and make sure it has exec autoexec.cfg in it. it should already.
