Setting up a 2nd CoD Server on a Linux Root

[engel667]

Hi,

i just managed to get my 1st CoD Linux ded running. Now i want to start a 2nd CoD-Server on my RootServer. Can i just copy my 1st CoD-Folder into a new position and then start the Server on an other port ?

I hope you understand what i mean ;) . I searched through the Forum, but nothing answerd my Question.

dunno how it work with linux .. but in win you can just make another shortcut and tell that shortcut the execute another cfg file, still using the same gamedir :)

Yep. Just copy it over and exec it using a 2nd port. That is exactly how you do it.

engel667,

Are you running your COD servers as root? if so this is a huge security breach, I suggest having another user run the server.

As for having a second server, yes you can simply copy it. Use this command, "cp -r ./* [dir to copy to]"

Here is an example of it

mkdir /home/cod/cod2
cd /home/cod/cod1
cp -r ./* /home/cod/cod2

when running more than one server use fs_homepath /home/cod/cod2/ and fs_basepath /home/cod/cod2/ in your run command

Another solution is symlinks however that is a more complex solution that will allow you to run multiple servers off of one copy of the game, however if you have the hard disk space I recommend just doing a copy :)

I hope this solves any problems you had, if your stuck I can be contacted on aim = normserph or by email serph@tapclan.com
