    Thirty Five "bones" Eh.. I'd ask a server administrator.. either Lightning Blue or someone who has posted their server information on the boards.. Or just read the FAQ for the mods.

    Yeah there is a specific forum for this, I'm willing to bet the people in there could help you out, without you having to pay even.

    I ended up helping him out.

    The problem basically boiled down to this: the person who set the server up originally set it up as root, and was running the server as root.

    when he changed it to another user, the file permissions were all wrong, and so it borked.

    Other notes, metamod was incorrectly installed, the 2.1 patch was broken, and the startup script which utilized screen was also incorrectly used.

    Otherwise it was an ok installation... I just re-installed everything to make sure I had caught all the bugs.

    why would anyone set up ANY server esp. a game server under root? I don't even use root on my home box, cuz I might break somthing.

    I don't like doing things <u>for</u> people I rather guide them and have them do it themselves... It's the whole "Give them a fish and they eat for a day, teach them to fish and they eat for a lifetime" thing. Personally, I much rather this person work on it themselves so that they can fix the problem next time it occurs; I'm a firm beliver that if you can't set up a server yourself (or at least try!) you shouldn't be running one.

    If an admin doesn't know how his machine works, it's faults and how to run a server effectively then he/she is much less capable of handling a situation. If someone hacks his/her box in the future would they know how to properly shut down the service and begin cleaning up? No, they wouldn't. They would be afraid of even working on the problem since they are not confident with their abilities and therefore would let the hack continue. This case is unlikely but what happens when they need to upgrade to NS 3.0, they won't know how to do it.

    If you don't know what you are doing OR you don't have time to run it properly OR don't care to learn how to run a server, don't. Hire someone to run it for you, there are plenty of server hosting companies out there which will be happy to run a secure and efficient server for you for a low, low price.

    If you want to try learning for yourself, I'm sure this community will be ready to help, myself included.

    You need to tell Aea that,

    He's the one who is renting the server.
