Hi!

My first post ever. Been reading a lot the last year, trying to get a UT99 Windows Server working for me and my "school" friends last year. Worked great btw

Now I have an UT99 Linux Server which I based on the Baiter Edition. This is mainly for me and my "local" friends here in Norway. Hosting and running the server myself, with an old Compaq P3 1GHz, 512MB ram machine

The server is working great, with all features I have added.

Mapvote ini with these gametypes.
1. MonsterHunt
2. Instagib
3. Sniper
4. CTF

UTStats, with crontab jobs to copy logs from gamedir to web dir, and a cronjob to execute the, php import.php
Redirect for all files on local webserver.

Everything is working great. BUT, I cant get the ASU working for my server with Linux, so I used a script I found somewhere, its pretty simple but it does the job, and thats enough for me.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
while true
do
   ./ucc-bin server DM-TV-STORE.unr?Game=botpack.deathmatchplus?mutator=MapVoteLA13.BDBMapVote port=7777 -ini=ut.ini log=server.log -nohomedir
    cp -f server.log crash.log
    echo "Restarting..."
done 
exit 0

Problem is the server logs like this guy in the quote above, that it overwrites itself each time, I would want to add %date% variables to the logs file name. But cant get this to work under linux, therefore I had to post this 1 post in hope that some Linux madman could help me out

Cheers,

sXe

Why can't you get ASU to work?

sxxxe83 · #3 27th December, 2008, 05:44 AM

Wont start, just got too many errors. So gave it up. May try again, with some help maybe I can get it to work. Will try and post errors in a bit..

Startup script working a bit better btw. Cant get time variables to work though but better

Code:

#!/bin/sh
today=`date +%Y-%m-%d`;
while true
do
cd System; ./ucc-bin server DM-TV-STORE.unr?Game=botpack.deathmatchplus?mutator=MapVoteLA13.BDBMapVote port=7777 -ini=ut.ini log=../Logs/ServerLogs/server-$today.log -nohomedir;cd ..
	cp -f ../Logs/ServerLogs/server-$today.log ../Logs/ServerLogs/crash-$today.log
    echo "Restarting..."
done 
exit 0

sxxxe83 · #4 27th December, 2008, 05:54 AM

ASU install done no problems,
bash asu.sh configurations no problem.

Code:

sxe6:/usr/ut99# ./ucc.init start
Starting Unreal Tournament: Process is already running.  Not started.
sxe6:/usr/ut99# Stopping Unreal Tournament: ./ucc.init: line 172: kill: (24469) - No such process
ucc.init
Starting Unreal Tournament: bash: ./ucc: No such file or directory
ucc.init

The right user is also owner of the folder.

Code:

chown -R sxeadmin:sxeadmin /ut99

has been executed but it still wont work...
chmod 777 is also set on the entire folder (will change back as soon as I get this working)...

And trying to get that to work, I came over that small startup script above that is starting everytime

sXe

edit:

Using the ucc.init restart is just the same:

Code:

sxeadmin@sxe6:/usr/ut99$ ./ucc.init restart
Stopping Unreal Tournament: ./ucc.init: line 172: kill: (25443) - No such process
ucc.init
Starting Unreal Tournament: bash: ./ucc: No such file or directory
ucc.init
sxeadmin@sxe6:/usr/ut99$ Stopping Unreal Tournament: ./ucc.init: line 172: kill: (26277) - No such process
ucc.init
Starting Unreal Tournament: bash: ./ucc: No such file or directory
ucc.init

edit: 2
Using Debian Etch 4 as OS btw.

Code:

sxe6:/usr/ut99# uname -a
Linux sxe6 2.6.26-1-686 #1 SMP Sat Nov 8 19:00:26 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

edit: 3
The file: libSDL-1.2.so.0 is also in place in the /System folder.

Azura · #5 27th December, 2008, 03:06 PM

Hmm, maybe a path needs to be set somewhere.

sxxxe83 · #6 27th December, 2008, 03:53 PM

Thanks for the tip.

Tried to change most of the variables to the full path, here and there. Still no-go.

Tried this also: http://www.unrealadmin.org/forums/ar...hp/t-9964.html

This guy got it working, but it did not help me....

Code:

Ok... my server works now..

ehm.. PooKer.. I know what your problem is..
It IS the multimesh...
delete the line "ServerPackages=MultiMesh" from your UnrealTournament.ini or server.ini
or install the UTBonusPack
that should help

The server is running the latest "UTPGPatch451LINUX" if that helps...

edit Tried to set the whole path and no variables here and got a bit further...

Code:

MYEXECMD="/usr/ut99/System/./ucc-bin server DM-TV-STORE.unr?Game=botpack.deathmatchplus?mutator=MapVoteLA13.BDBMapVote port=7777 -ini=ut.ini log=../Logs/ServerLogs/server.log -nohomedir"

Output

Code:

sxeadmin@sxe6:/usr/ut99$ ./ucc.init start
Starting Unreal Tournament: /usr/ut99/System/./ucc-bin: error while loading shared libraries: Engine.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ucc.init
sxeadmin@sxe6:/usr/ut99$ Stopping Unreal Tournament: ./ucc.init: line 172: kill: (18692) - No such process
ucc.init

sxxxe83 · #7 27th December, 2008, 04:13 PM

OH MY GOD!!

With this it did start...

Code:

Maybe ucc-bin doesn't interpret paths properly. Nice to hear you got the server going.

2399Skillz · #9 27th December, 2008, 10:44 PM

I use ASU on all my servers, its a very nice utility. Though I am not sure on why you are getting those errors, unless it's not installed properly and/or your user account is jailed or possibly there are some permissions setup incorrectly.

Did a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 8.10, on a different machine P4 3GHz, 1GB RAM (was a bit too weak the other one). Followed the directions for installing configuring ASU 0.6, I am 100% sure about the userid rights, and what he can and cant do. I got the same error.

Was testing some now.

This is the original MYEXECMD created by the "bash asu.sh" thingy.

Code:

MYEXECMD="./ucc server $TMP --nohomedir log=/dev/null"
OUTLOG="$MYLOGFILE"

I thought it was "ucc-bin" that started it all..!?!

That aint working for me. First of all, I have to have the "--nohomedir" at the very end, not in the middle or something.

This its working for me: It will not start without the "cd System;" AND "-nohomedir;cd.." at the end. And "ucc-bin".

Code:

MYEXECMD="cd System; ./ucc-bin server $TMP log=/dev/null -nohomedir;cd.."
OUTLOG="$MYLOGFILE"

I know this is a very late reply, but I just stumbled upon it again.

Do you have a ucc file in the root directory of the server install? Should be a ucc file in the same directory as the ucc.init file.

spatieman · #12 10th February, 2009, 08:31 AM

as fas i know, the ucc, should be in the UT directory..
never in a root / directory...

I suggest you go download the linux server package and look for yourself.

http://ut-files.com/index.php?dir=En...er436final.zip

The ucc file is in the root directory of the UT server; IE: the directory where the ucc.init file from the asu script resides, the system, music, sounds, textures, maps, help and web directories all reside in there as well as other files/directories.

The reason why I ask this is because the problem he is having would be in line with that file being missing, since he had to change the line from

MYEXECMD="./ucc server $TMP --nohomedir log=/dev/null"

to

MYEXECMD="cd System; ./ucc-bin server $TMP log=/dev/null -nohomedir;cd.."

No there is no "ucc" file. Does that come with the .... Never mind, checked the http://ut-files.com/index.php?dir=En...er436final.zip and placed the "ucc" file where it belongs. So that was missing all the time

But it worked great by linking to the "ucc-bin" file though, but now it is as it was intended
