Re: [hlds_linux] setup query
Sounds like you still need to open some more ports. Permit outgoing connections on UDP and TCP port range 27000 - 27050. If that solves it, you know you have a firewalling issue. Also check if you have a firewall like iptables running on your linux box and temporarily turn that off as well. Of course after you debug it is advisable to make sure you do set your firewall up properly and not leave it 'open'. The steam command is fine by the way.

Re: [hlds_linux] setup query
Okey dokey...the ports on the firewall and sever setup are being done as of typing this, so I thought I'd check something out. What mods/anti cheat progs are worth using these days? I used to amx mod for one thing, but having been away from the server scene for a while I'm unsure of what else to use. Jay. p.s. does anyone have a good server start/stop/restart script or is there an app I could use for that too? This is all for a linux box. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] setup query
Read this somewhere and my friend who is setting the server up has asked me to clarify it for him: you need port 27011 outbound allowed (configure your firewall) because this allows us to connect to the master servers is that port for UDP or TCP?

Re: [hlds_linux] setup query
You need several ports outbound allowed on both UDP and TCP ports. What I do is: -Open those ports i said in the last email -Do the update -See which ports are being used in your firewall log -Close all ports -Open the specific ports used Sorry I would love to give you the exact list, but I don't have one at hand. Maybe someone else can be more specific.

ok - a friend managed to open up some ports I apprently needed in order to get my CS source server installed - I'm using the following guide for the install: http://www.cstrike-planet.com/tutorial/1/5 I get upto where I need to type chmod +x steam - that goes fine, but then I type ./steam -command update -game Counter-Strike Source -dir . and yet again it hangs on the text of: Checking bootstrapper version...

RE: [hlds_linux] setup query
Try ./steam Then it should ask you to try again, no need for -command etc the first time round. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jay Anstiss Sent: 21 August 2006 20:24 To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] setup query ok - a friend managed to open up some ports I apprently needed in order to get my CS source server installed - I'm using the following guide for the install: http://www.cstrike-planet.com/tutorial/1/5 I get upto where I need to type chmod +x steam - that goes fine, but then I type ./steam -command update -game Counter-Strike Source -dir . and yet again it hangs on the text of: Checking bootstrapper version...

Re: [hlds_linux] setup query
Ok - those commands should certainly come in useful for sure. But when I look in my dir as it stands (/home/username/srcds_l) all I have in the directory right now is the following: hldsupdatetool.bin readme.txt steam No sign of any counter strike file reference - now I'm not sure if that's due to the failed ./steam command (tyring to get the relevant ports opened) having not downloaded things like the needed CS files. But hopefully I'll get that sorted out soon. But thanks to all so far for the help - it's much appreciated :) Jay. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] setup query update
This can most definitely be due to firewalling outgoing connections. For debugging purposes open port-range 27000-27050 for outgoing UDP and TCP traffic. In your firewall log you will be able to see which ports are used for updating (also for connecting to the steam master-servers etc!!), so then you will be able to specify the needed ports more precisely. --- Regime Jay Anstiss wrote: Ok - the ./steam timed out and I got this line displayed in the window: Failed to connect to any GeneralDirectoryServer Anyone got any advice?

Re: [hlds_linux] setup query
Hey folks after some years away from the server game a friend at my old job contacted me and asked me to setup a single game instance for him on one of his companies web servers. I've found a decent server setup guide (http://wolphination.com/linux/2006/03/29/how-to-setup-a-cssource-dedicated-server/ - if anyone can recommend another or better one, let me know!) and am in the process of installing the basic materials. I got to the part where it says to type ./steam, and the server seems stuck on the line saying: Checking bootstrapper version ... - it's been like this for a while now - I know my friends server is behind a firewall, so I was wondering if this might be due to some port(s) I need to get opened. If anyone has any thoughts/help for me, please me know! I'm looking forward to getting back into this game, so any help I could get would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [hlds_linux] setup query
Jay, My guides are geared toward running Natural-Selection servers, but I do have a guide up there about HLDM on source if you are interested. You will, of course, need to make substitutions as necessary. http://www.vadakill.com/nsguides/ Will aka Vadakill Jay Anstiss wrote: Hey folks after some years away from the server game a friend at my old job contacted me and asked me to setup a single game instance for him on one of his companies web servers.

Re: [hlds_linux] setup query
Thankyou very much, Will - it's much appreciated. Have you got any thoughts on why I got the error message I had earlier when I tried the ./steam command?
