Server Running Ok, Cannot Connect

CyberSEAL

<div class="IPBDescription">After 1.04 update...</div> Hi, I currently have one 16 player NS server going and over the weekend tried to update it to 1.04. It seems to be running ok, I've started it up without the screen command and have watched the console and exec'd some commands after, which it took. However on connect it just kinda hangs and noone can get in (several have tried). It says it's accepted my user as an admin and then that it's initializing and downloading but then it just sits there. Server is Linux, RH 7.2, 2 Ghz P3 w/ 1GB RAM. I'll prolly get it figured out but thought the knowledgeable crowd here may speed it up some for me. Appreciate any input...!

thanks,
Brad

You'll have to excuse my noobness, I really haven't even played CS in awhile so I'm probably forgetting something here. I think I'm mistaking the server hanging for a download taking place, but I can't tell what's being d/l. The startup screen says "Initializing and Downloading" and my router lights up like it's downloading something. As soon as I stop and exit out so do my lights, anyone know why this occurring? The game is running at 207.44.202.98 if anyone wants to try connecting, would help me once again determine if this is client or server side.

thanks!

RedHat, 1.04, adminmod...

I suspect that you'll find your server is crashing every time someone connects.

Actually I dont think his server is crashing when someone connects. When I try to use Adminmod on my Redhat server I get the same results with 1.04. Server doesnt crash you just cant connect no one can, but the server remains alive. I didnt dig into it cause I like clanmod better, I was just testing adminmod for fun.

If you're running HLDS using the hlds_run script, it'll auto-restart after a crash. Have you watched the console while someone connects?

Yeh I was kinda thinking adminmod too, I read that sticky thread but they only talked about RH 7.3 and 8, I'm running 7.2, I shoulda known better than to think I was safe though...

Pull adminmod out of your metamod plugins.ini, then see if it works.
