sv_punkbuster is read only?

[Kill_Control]

i disabled pb for about a week, and when i went to turn it back on i got nothing.

when i restart the server i get 'sv_punkbuster is read only' in the startup, and near the bottom:
PunkBuster Server: 0 Aliases Written to pbalias.dat
PunkBuster Server: 0 Stat Records Written to pbstat.dat
PunkBuster Server: Preparing to Disable PB Server... (/home/cod/.callofduty/pb/)


it's a linux server, and both pb folders in the game installation and the fs_homepath (we run 3 servers) have write permissions.

i've rebooted the entire server and i've reinstalled pb.. any ideas??

i've even tried just running one server, with no fs_homepath or fs_game and let it use the default ~/.callofduty .. still nothing :x

[Kill_Control]

only the guy trying to run the windows pb in linux has had this??

anybody??

edit:
just in case anybody else runs a search on this error, i never did find the cause, but more importantly found a remedy.

comment map_rotate from your .cfg, and run the server from the command line like you normally would, except without the & which puts you back at the prompt. (you need to stay in the game console)

once it loads everything, and the error is showing.. EVEN though it's in your .cfg already, along with a wait.. type it. pb_sv_enable

then, run your tdm.cfg or whatever you use for the rotation, or map_rotate if your rotation is in your default startup .cfg

leave your console session running, and connect to the cod server (i like to do it in a window so i can watch the server side console running). pb will then do all the master query stuff and update. after it's done, quit the game, and kill the server. remove the map_rotate comment from your .cfg and run it like you do normally.
