You need to run the binary, not the config.
Start with something like:

Code:

./ioq3ded.i386 +set dedicated 2 +exec config.cfg

I would also suggest that you remove the:

Code:

set m1 "map dm6ish; set nextmap vstr m1"

and instead use:

Code:

map dm6ish

Did you create a config.cfg and put that one in your /baseoa directory?

[superbizho]

ok thanks !!! i put it there .. everything works fine

[superbizho]

emmmm ... how can i make server password protected?

[w1zrd]

You add the lines:

Code:

seta g_password "mypassword"
seta g_needpass "1"

to your config.cfg and then you (and everyone who joins) need to type:

Code:

/password mypassword

in the console in order to join your server.
