Server Start Error

[Silent Sniper]

It freezes when I click stop/start and all it gives on the command line where ./srcds ..... should be is this

ro root=LABEL=/

Do you know what could be the problem?

Thanks

The text you are seeing looks like it could be from /etc/fstab or something. If you can, put in a ticket and I'll see if I can trace it back to where it's coming from.

How do i use the ticketing system?

I have re-installed PVKII HL2.

It now works fine.

Thanks

/home/*/.gameservers/hl2_0/srcds_i686 -dir /home/*/.gameservers/hl2_0/ -game FortressForever +maxplayers 18 +ip * -port 27014 +map ff_dustbowl -tickrate 100 -pidfile /home/tomff/.gameservers/hl2_0/hl2.pid -console

That puts FF on the server port 27015 for some reason and:

/home/*/.gameservers/hl2_0/srcds_i686 -dir /home/*/.gameservers/hl2_0/ -game pvkii +maxplayers 18 +ip * -port 27017 +map pvk_fort -tickrate 100 -pidfile /home/tompvkii/.gameservers/hl2_0/hl2.pid -console -debug

That puts PVKII on the server port 27024.


This has only happened since the update.

After I restarted the box. The cron job started a few servers automatically and started one server twice on two different IP's, one was the right IP. The other was the wrong. Then it started the other servers. One of the servers was trying to connect to the IP that the first one had taken up. So it automatically found another IP for some reason. All the servers were starting on the wrong IP's just because the cron job had started one server twice.

Check to be sure that the configs aren't set to use the same ports another is already using. Some of these servers bind to 4 or 5 or more ports for all the things it does. If another server already is already bound to a port it wants to use, it will usually increment them by one until it finds an open one. I would suggest separating the assigned ports by at least 10 or 20 (you've got from like 1025 - 65535 or so to play around with to try and minimize their impact on each other. Some of these ports are not user configurable and leave you to the mercy of the developers, change the bind-to IPs in this case, if possible. Use `netstat -anp |grep 27015` (or whatever) and `lsof -n |grep 27015' to see which servers are bound to what.
If everything is still all screwy and not making sense, put in a ticket here:

The main reason i started this topic was because of another reason.
There were two crontabs made for some reason of the cpgs_chk.
It was starting two servers at the same time.
It was taking up all the CPU.
I have now removed the only one from crontab -e.
It now runs fine.

Thanks

That's certainly something I don't want happening.. Where the crons jobs identical or did they have different paths ? I haven't seen it happen on my test machines yet. Every function that installs it is supposed to check for a matching entry before hand, perhaps there is a race condition however that I'm not catching. If you see it again, please open a ticket with how it happened so I can try to clean it up.
