<div class="IPBDescription">bad hldsupdatetool.bin?</div> I originaly posted about a problem updating steam, but I overcame that.


My new problem is now that my server can't be seen on the internet. I have my server running on linux fine, and it says:
<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->Adding auth server 65.73.232.251:27040
Adding auth server 65.73.232.253:27040
Adding master server 207.173.177.12:27010
Adding master server 207.173.177.11:27010<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->


I have a SMC Barricade router, and I opened the port 27015 and directed it to the linux box. Do I need to open any other ports?


Thanks

    Try doing a search on these forums for "port forwarding" to find out what ports to forward in your router config or you could try adding it to the router's DMZ temporarily and see if you can have a friend connect to it. If not, then there is something wrong with your configuration.

    Did you specify a public IP address when you started the server? Try adding +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx are your real public IP numbers.

    Example:
    <!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->
    ./hlds_run -game ns +ip 208.28.184.222 +maxplayers 12 +map ns_eclipse

    Ok, I changed the startup line and put in the IP from my local network, and it's working (It's visible in the outside world)! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Only problem is, after the server is running it says:

    <!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->MasterRequestRestart
    Your server needs to be restarted in order to receive the latest update.

    I don't know exactly how it needs to be updated, but I tried running this (according to your great guide Vadakill):

    <!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1--> ./steam -update valve . *myemail* *mypassword* Y<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

    and it returned this:


    <!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->Checking bootstrapper version ...

    Downloading. . . . . . . . . . .
    Cannot open output file 'LinuxHldsUpdateTool_2.pkg' <!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->


    Does anyone have any Ideas?

    Thanks a million,

    Probably not the best/correct/fastest fix. But it seems that deleting the .steam folder and then rerunning the steam update generally redownloads and configures the update process which fixes any problems you're having. At least from what I've read and done myself.

    Make sure that all files and folders in your server directory is owned by the user you are using to update. For example, if you had a user called "hldsadmin" all files should be owned by and grouped to hldsadmin. Not only that but that they are both readable and writable by that user.
