uh, because it was a joke making fun of someone else asking for help
that was boneheaded enough to run a linux server in a virtual machine
running on win2003.

2005-06-25 Thread Andrew Forsberg




you HAVE to run it like that?

May I ask why?




He's being held hostage by a slightly MS-brainwashed penguin that can't make
up it's mind on OS?
Run linux!
no, windows!
no, linux!
no, windows!

Seriously, this sounds like the worst of both worlds solution. Why in
$DIETY's name would you run any server app in a virtual machine when the
actual box is totally available to you?
If you want to run linux, install linux on the damn box!! If you want to run
windows, run the windows version of the app!!




I'm thinking he's running it that way because he's reselling virtual
servers, and a number of customers are insisting on having linux
servers. Rather than get a second machine that is running linux he's
trying to run both win hlds and linux hlds from the same windows box.

Worst of both worlds, but at least the punter can say 'I've a
linux-based gaming server'.

Groan.

Sorry, are you nuts? He asked for advice, but he's running a gaming
server for customers on via an emulation layer? 'You should run whatever
you think is the best' is fine, but he was having trouble, and his
clients are paying for something they're obviously not getting.

Gah, I'm wasting my time. Have fun.

[hlds_linux] Linux on virutal server

2005-06-24 Thread Michael Webber

Hello.  Please read this carefully it is a very confusing situation.  I own
a game server hosting company and this one server is really starting to be a
problem.  Its a 20 man dod server on an amd64 processor that isnt using an
amd 64 bit kernel (linux).

The box is a Windows 2003 install, with virtual server running the linux
server inside of that.

The problem is the server will run fine for ever, you can play in it you can
do everything, but randomly it will time out on the game server list built
into steam, and my hlsw.  But the people that were playing it it continue to
play just fine.  Just no one can find the server.  It doesnt have to have
people in it to time out.

If I start the server before I go to bed, and then when I wake up look for
server on list it will be there.  But then 15 mins later it will be down
and wont ever come back.

Once in a while I go into console while its timed out to the server
browswers, and change maps.  It comes back on server list for 5 - 10 mins
(its random) and then goes back into timeout.

I tried starting it witn -binary ./hlds_amd and ./hlds_i686   still times
out randomly.
I tried addins some setmasters to no help.  I even put the setmasters add in
autoexec.cfg

I really need some help here.  Is it the windows box doing some dos attack
protection?  (like its being pinged to much on that port and shutting it
down?)

Wow  while I Was typing this email the sever  started responsing to hlsw and
steam server locator.  I wanted to see if it restarted so I typed stats and
it has been up for 805 mins,  so it must have been an auto map change.
Yeah its back down again.  :0(

Its a stock 2003 install, and I know its not a problem with the hlds install
becuase I did to installs.  One fresh ./steam -update install and one I
coppied from another working dod server of mine.

Please help me with any information you can thanks so much.

Though I am tempted, I will not ask why anyone would configure a server
in such a  way.


 From your description, it sounds like the virtual server software is
dropping packets. I would suggest using a tool like Etheral to monitor
the traffic and see if the system is getting retransmits.

Why not run the server directly on the Windows server. Or in a virtual
windows environment? Your current configuration is just asking for hard
to resolve problems to occur.

IMHO...running a latency-sensitive program in a virual machine is perfect
stupidity. You ask for someone to fix a problem that you created. Run the
game server from the main Win2k3 install and then seek support.

Though I am tempted, I will not ask why anyone would configure a server
in such a  way.


  From your description, it sounds like the virtual server software is
dropping packets. I would suggest using a tool like Etheral to monitor
the traffic and see if the system is getting retransmits.

Why not run the server directly on the Windows server. Or in a virtual
windows environment? Your current configuration is just asking for hard
to resolve problems to occur.

  Hello.  Please read this carefully it is a very confusing situation.
  I own
  a game server hosting company and this one server is really starting
  to be a
  problem.  Its a 20 man dod server on an amd64 processor that isnt
  using an
  amd 64 bit kernel (linux).
 
  The box is a Windows 2003 install, with virtual server running the
linux
  server inside of that.
 
  The problem is the server will run fine for ever, you can play in it
  you can
  do everything, but randomly it will time out on the game server list
  built
  into steam, and my hlsw.  But the people that were playing it it
  continue to
  play just fine.  Just no one can find the server.  It doesnt have to
have
  people in it to time out.
 
  If I start the server before I go to bed, and then when I wake up look
  for
  server on list it will be there.  But then 15 mins later it will be
down
  and wont ever come back.
 
  Once in a while I go into console while its timed out to the server
  browswers, and change maps.  It comes back on server list for 5 - 10
mins
  (its random) and then goes back into timeout.
 
  I tried starting it witn -binary ./hlds_amd and ./hlds_i686   still
times
  out randomly.
  I tried addins some setmasters to no help.  I even put the setmasters
  add in
  autoexec.cfg
 
  I really need some help here.  Is it the windows box doing some dos
  attack
  protection?  (like its being pinged to much on that port and shutting
it
  down?)
 
  Wow  while I Was typing this email the sever  started responsing to
  hlsw and
  steam server locator.  I wanted to see if it restarted so I typed
  stats and
  it has been up for 805 mins,  so it must have been an auto map change.
  Yeah its back down again.  :0(
 
  Its a stock 2003 install, and I know its not a problem with the hlds
  install
  becuase I did to installs.  One fresh ./steam -update install and one
I
  coppied from another working dod server of mine.
 
  Please help me with any information you can thanks so much.

Don't post to the linux hlds mailing list with windows problems and you won't 
get smart ass replys.  Espicialy with the set up you are trying to pull off.  I 
am realy curious why you chose to run linux virtual servers under Win2k3 for 
hlds.

 There is no solution you cheap bastard. Either you own/rent/lease the box
 or you don't. If you do then you run it on the main OS install. If you
 don't

May I ask why?

There's quite a few brilliant minds on this list that could probably help
you come up with a better solution. When they have a problem to work on,
they're damn good at it. However when you come up with something like
this, they're also very good at squeezing the trigger on the flamethrower.

Out of curiosity, how many FPS does that DOD server average under a
virtual machine?

Run linux!
no, windows!
no, linux!
no, windows!

Seriously, this sounds like the worst of both worlds solution. Why in
$DIETY's name would you run any server app in a virtual machine when the
actual box is totally available to you?
If you want to run linux, install linux on the damn box!! If you want to run
windows, run the windows version of the app!!
