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

I would also suggest that you remove the:
and instead use:

[edgar@bzq-82-80-245-50 op]$ screen ./ioq3ded.i386 +set dedicated 2 +exec config.cfg

MY CFG IS :

set sv_hostname "just testing"
set sv_maxclients "14"
set sv_master1 "dpmaster.deathmask.net"
set g_gametype "0"
set bot_minplayers "0"
set bot_nochat "1"
set fraglimit "25"
set timelimit "0"
set capturelimit "10"
set roundlimit "999"
map dm6ish

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

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

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

You add the lines:
to your config.cfg and then you (and everyone who joins) need to type:
in the console in order to join your server.
