Title: Impossible to run dedicated server Post by: FUBAR on November 08, 2007, 08:33:22 AM I'm trying to run a dedicated OpenArena 0.70 server on Debian Lenny (testing). I've created a normal user account so I wouldn't have to run the game with root privileges. Running the server binary gives me the following output:
Code: user@pwnage:~$ /usr/games/openarena-server +exec /home/user/openarena/server.cfg First of all: openarena never succeeds executing my server.cfg file. Even when I use an empty file or one that supposedly works from these forums, I get the error. Secondly: the server doesn't do anything. I can see it's listening for connections Code: User Inode PID/Program name According to tcpdump, the server doesn't reply to any of the UDP packets it recieves. There's absolutely no firewall blocking any packets either, so I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with OpenArena.

Are you absolutely sure /home/user/openarena/server.cfg exists and the server has permissions to read it? Shouldn't it be /.openarena/ instead?

try: +exec /home/user/.openarena/server.cfg It looks like your path has a period in it, but was not included in the command line |
