    It is a fresh install, so no.

    This issue has been sorted on the server, it came about from trying to load the server via .bat instead of a server.exe shortcut.

    I use Linux server management script to download & start server.(NO MODS)

    But whether I start server from above command or script, it shows above logs.

    Is the xml file itself actually ok?
    Ive seen xml files which were pretty broken before on windows servers.

    I've found that there are lots of game_setup.xml, I think that all xmls are ok.

    And the web pages shows that "Loading server...".

    I wonder where I can find some logs or details to help me find out what happened.

    Doesn't look like you are connected to Steam either

    The last 2 lines show that I have connected. And I can get authentication by the server.

    I'm having the some problem trying to run a server from a CentOS 7 VM. I'm using the linux game server manager scripts. I created a issue on the GitHub project here: https://github.com/dgibbs64/linuxgsm/issues/593

    Before I tried it using the setup instructions at: http://wiki.unknownworlds.com/ns2/Dedicated_Server

    Any help with this would be much appreciated.

    i had this happen the other day setting up a server on ubuntu. I fixed it by changing the working directory to the executable before trying to run it.

    this is about what the script looked like when I got this exact error (I even read this thread trying to fix it)
    /home/ns2server/serverfiles/linux_server -name blah -port 27015 ect ect
    

    this is what I use now. changing the script to this is the only thing different.
    cd /home/ns2server/serverfiles
    ./linux_server -name blah -27015 ect ect

    @ryakten did you ever find a solution to this issue for centOS 7?
    I have attempted what @turtsmcgurt recommended and had no luck.
    Disabled SELinux incase that was an issue; blew the directories away and ran the install again; same result.
  • ZuperfreakZuperfreak Join Date: 2017-05-08 Member: 230360Members
    An update on this, just did a complete reinstall of CentOS 7, disabled SELinux, installed all the dependencies following this: https://gameservermanagers.com/lgsm/ns2server/

    Still no joy.
