<div class="IPBDescription">Going back to my linux box.</div> Howdy All,

OK. I have just stopped renting a server for my clan. I need to save for a house.... However, when I went to fire up my ns server on my linux machine it failes to complete loading. The following is all the text I get:

hlds]# ./hlds_run_nice -game ns +map ns_nothing +maxplayers 10
Auto-restarting the server on crash
Host_Init
Added packfile /usr/games/hlds/valve/pak0.pak (985 files)
Protocol version 46
Exe version 3.1.1.0
Exe build: 14:46:34 Jun 11 2002 (2056)

And just stays there.

I have tried a number of woncomm.lst files assuming that the server was not able to contact with the WON servers. No luck. I know I have seen this post before, but all the searches I have performed fail to return any usefull information.


All usefull suggestions are appreciated.

    What are the contents of the script "hlds_run_nice"? Looks like it's not passing through your other command-line arguments, as the behavior you described is indicative of hlds not receiving a "map" statement.

    All hlds_run_nice did was "nice" the task so it got more priority. I ran the hlds_run script straight up and got the exact same results.

    If figured it reniced it, given the name. However, what I asked for was the *contents* (implying the exact lines), since the symptoms seemed to point to the server not receiving your "map" statement. A missing "$@" in a shell script, errors of that nature. However...

    The next line you should see is
    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->WON Auth Server<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Since you're not getting that, your server seems to be failing to communicate with the WON servers. They're not moving right now that I know of (default woncomm.lst flies right through for me), so you probably have a local DNS issue. Can your box resolve other hosts?

    Thanks verbose,

    You were correct. Seems my firewall/NAT likes to get confused. I have most my machines pointed directly to a DNS server not on my NAT. I forgot to do that with the Linux Box.

    Back in action.
