dedicated server in slax linux

Post by LoveBug »

Hi I need some help please

I had no problems setting up dedicated server in windows but now im trying to setup in slax linux (full install 3.5GB not the live 230MB)

I downloaded the package file and managed to install it ok from bash , i also setup a password for the new armagetronad user that the installer created however when I login via this user I have problems running it

I change directory to /usr/bin and then type armagetronad-dedicated , the application starts but complains about permissions for var directory so I need some help with this thanks

Try starting over

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/armagetronad-dedicated start
as root, that should set up the permissions.

Or run with "armagetronad-dedicated" as any regular user. The problem you're likely having is that the armagetronad user hasn't got a home directory by default and the server is trying and failing to create it the way you did.

If there are further problems, please post full error messages.
