Linux Server Startup Issues

[highone]

Ran as root & the user I set it up with and got the same thing...

"./run.sh +exec server.cfg" is what I tried to start it up with.

Anyone running across this problem yet?

[spirit]

Nope. Waht about some info on your system?

[highone]

yeah i just edited it...

anything specific you think I need to post about the system other than that?

I'm in some ways a linux nub as I taught myself what I know... however I've been running this hosted server for a few years now and running rtcw, quake4, cod2, etc just fine on it...

I think I'm just overlooking something simple... as that's usually the case.

Especially since I haven't found anyone else with this problem.

[Nuxil]

might be some lib's you are missing.. check the readme file for the requirements and compare that with what you got installed..

[highone]

I don't see anything in the actual RADME.txt file that's included about libraries...

however this is what I found for my distro

Linux version 2.4.20-31.9smp (bhcompile@daffy.perf.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)) #1 SMP Tue Apr 13 17:40:10 EDT 2004

Thanks for any help on this... I'm just a little confused since I'm not really a linux admin per say... although I admin this linux server.

[Nuxil]

very old kernel... but that should not have any thing to do with it i guess.. however. you got a old gcc version.. try installing version 4

[highone]

i'm looking into updating the kernel...

but first im going to do what you said and update to the latest stable gcc version.

Thanks for the advice... if anyone else knows how to help I would appreciate anything you got.

Thanks to everyone so far that's replied.

[highone]

here is some more output from the server starting up that's confusing me...

couldn't exec 'etqwconfig.cfg'
execing 'localization/english/defaultbinds.cfg'
couldn't exec 'etqwbinds.cfg'
execing 'autoexec.cfg'

128 MB of Video memory on an optimal video architecture



Can anyone tell me why it's looking for the regular configs generated from the client version of ET:QW whenever this is supposed to be a lite server?

I'm not sure I'm on the right track but that is confusing to me... is there a startup option I need to set like +set dedicated 2 or something?

HELP!

[highone]

OK so I tried to run the .x86 file manually and got this...

./etqwded.x86 &

I ended up with this error...

error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Apologies for my linux nubness but what do I need to install for this to work?

Thanks in advance for the help

[Nuxil]

alright,, your getting somewhere now :)

install the gnu standard c++ library v3

i dont know RH,., does it use yum ?
is so look for a rpm called something like libstdc++6

:cool:

[highone]

Thanks Nuxill... I will do this ASAP.

I appreciate all your help brother. You've been great.

I'll post what happens whenever I install those binaries.

Your the man.

[highone]

So this server requires libraries that my Red Hat 9 box doesn't have RPM's for... since support is no longer available for Red Hat 9.0 it won't be coming either...

I would also need to install a glib update and I don't know wtf I'm doing half the time on this thing when it comes to system issues and libraries like this chances are I'd end up screwing everything worse than the way it is now.

Sigh.. why god why?

[Nuxil]

try http://search.rpmseek.com/

you could always build it from source though..

but if i where you.. i do a distro upgrade. install ubuntu server. or fedora core.
ubuntu is always up to date...

[Lekdevil.NL]

From the readme:
Minimum system requirements:
----------------------------

- GNU/Linux x86 system
x64/amd64 systems supported through 32 bit emulation layer only
BSD systems through Linux emulation
- Pentium(r) 4 2.0 GHz or Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ processor
- 512MB RAM
- Kernel 2.6, configured for 1000Hz tick and other low latency settings

You're running a 2.4 kernel, which isn't supported. You will need to upgrade to a new 2.6 kernel (it's probably easiest to pick a new, recent distro). Unfortunately, some comments by Nuxil above are wrong or misleading. You do not need gcc installed, and ETQW comes with precompiled libraries in its base directory (libgcc_s.so.1, libjpeg.so.62 and libstdc++.so.6). To add the base directory to the library path, you need to start the server using the run.sh script. Do not run etqwded.x86 directly or ETQW won't be able to find those libraries. Good luck.

[escapedturkey]

Please copy and paste your server.cfg (minus any passwords) so we can all examine it.

You should do a yum search and install the libraries so you are not dependent on a script.

nohup ./etqwded.x86 +set net_serverDedicated 1 +set in_tty 0 +set net_ip INSERTIPADDRESSHERE +set net_port 27733 +set fs_basepath /home/INSERTUSERNAMEHERE/quakewars +set fs_savepath /home/INSERTUSERNAMEHERE/quakewars +set fs_devpath /home/INSERTUSERNAMEHERE/quakewars +set net_serverPunkbusterEnabled 1 +set fs_game "" +set fs_game_base base +exec server.cfg &

[BattleRat]

isnt screen-dms more easy to manage than nohup?

[escapedturkey]

Screen uses more resources. :cool:

[=WFL= Sgt Bilko]

Please copy and paste your server.cfg (minus any passwords) so we can all examine it.
Hmmm I don't think the server.cfg has anything to do with this error, it crashes long before it even reads the server.cfg file.

./etqwded.x86 &
I ended up with this error...
error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The reason you get missing libs if you run ./etqwded.x86 is that you are not setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.
You should start with ./etqw-dedicated instead (which is just a sh script), it sets the variable and then runs ./etqwded.x86.

The necessary libs seems to be included in the install and setting this variable will make sure gameengine knows where to find them.

I crash at same place in start up with same error message as highone and I'm running on a 2.6.16.19 kernel

My testbox running 2.6.15-23 kernel runs fine though (go figure :eek: )

Anyone found a solution???

Hi can you guys help.
I start my linux etqw server with a .sh and have tried other ways but afterabout 20-60 seconds the server shutsdown and says nothing in logs or console it just stops.
my .sh is this:

---------------------------------------------------------

I've noticed that one server is using old_mmap and the other mmap2 but I don't know what it means.

Anyone have an idea?

[Ziki]

It seems that this problem is related to glibc version. Upgrading to a newer version is the solution, however, I cannot upgrade all my servers because this cause dependency problems.

glibc versions <= 2.3.4 are not working, glibc >=2.3.5 are working. Isn't it possible to have a server version compatible with all versions?

These problems (that I had on a 2.6.16.19 kernel) seems to be gone after the installing the r4 version of the dedicated server.

Played thru all 4 campaigns (though I was solo and no bots).
