Problem installing linux server

[clumsytoole]

I've downloaded the linux server file ftp://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/misc/bf2-linuxded-1.1.2554-356-installer.zip

I'm trying to run the sh file after unzipping and I'm getting Extraction failed.
Signal caught, cleaning up

Any ideas?

Sounds like a corrupt download to me.

i downloaded the file via your link and got no error unpacking it. I used winrar but i doubt that using winzip or winrar has anything to do with your problem.

My suggestion is that you do a defrag at your system disc and if you are short of space, free some up before you try to download and unpack it again. If you save instead of open the file, save it to your system disc. I'm not really sure but i belive that your system cashe the file if it's located on another disc before the software even opens the file.

I used wget from different machines and got this same error on both!

I can unzip the archive but then runinng the bash script produces that error. Can someone please give me a md5sum of bf2-linuxded-1.1.2554-356-installer.zip I get af76e9389f07d7763ecfc02985f22ff0

This file ftp://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/misc/bf2-linuxded-1.1.2484.0-installer.zip worked fine!

Silly me :o , i cannot have read your post before replying. Sorry and hope you get the things working. I don't run any COD2 server so i can't help you.

It's resolved now, but not with that latest file.

I also had the common reported problem with libraries. I found a solution from another forum
For FC 3 use
yum -y install compat-libstdc++

For FC4 use
yum -y install compat-libstdc++-296 compat-libstdc++-33


Then I had to manually update punkbuster, as posted elsewhere on this forum.

It does, all PB is supposed to, but about 20% of the time it fails and requires a forced update.
