Re: [hlds_linux] Motd.txt - website redirect woes.
In my california based cs source server, the following is the content of my motd.txt file: http://www.google.com/ Well it was before I changed it back to the stock motd.txt. I tried doing that on my local server here, and the motd.txt just showed me the textual link I typed in, instead of the homepage, like it's supposed to. Re-installing server in a new VM to see what got funky. mauirixxx -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Crazy Canucks Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 2:49 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Motd.txt - website redirect woes.

Re: [hlds_linux] Motd.txt - website redirect woes.
You should only have to have the url in plaintext in the motd... Just make sure there are no spaces or paragraphs or anything like that.

Re: [hlds_linux] Motd.txt - website redirect woes.
I just tested it on a different game server (one based in cali, instead of my hawaii based server) and it worked like it was supposed to. So it's definitely something screwy on my box ... Time to go vanilla and see what happens.

Re: [hlds_linux] Motd.txt - website redirect woes.
Should work via direct link. Make sure your site works in IE or try a direct link to the html or php file.

[hlds_linux] Motd.txt - website redirect woes.
I thought you could put just one line in the motd.txt file like so: http://www.example.com/ And have that website show up for joining clients? I know this USED to work, as I used to run a Windows based server 2-3 years ago with this setup. But that was Windows, and 2-3 years ago. When I do that, all I get is a motd window with that text. If I edit the original motd.txt, it renders properly, but I'm limited to the 1500 byte max. I found on counterwiki a proper html way to redirect web pages using the meta refresh, but when I use that, instead of rendering the html, it just shows it as plain text. Did something change, or did I do something wrong? I'm running source/meta mods, but no plugins that would effect the motd, under cento 5.2 (32 bit).
