Server Startup problems

[cloud]

I just started running a COD server on my Red Hat 9 linux box yesterday, and I think all I had to type in was "./cod_lnxded" and it ran with the default settings for about 3 hours, and there were 8 of my clanmates playing on it. Today when I started up the computer, I started up the server with a custom config I created ./cod_lnxded +exec standard.cfg

It gave me this back [ryan@linux codserver]$ ./cod_lnxded +exec standard.cfg

Hitch warning: 923 msec frame time


And it just hangs there.....When I type "Status" it says "Server is not running"

I'm guessing it's having trouble authenticating with the activision servers? I opened 28090 yesterday on my router, and it worked, so it's still open right now.

Any Ideas? I tried executing the server with just "./cod_lnxded" but the same thing happened.


Thanks

If you used an & to detatch the process make sure there is a space before it.

I never attached it. It was still running in the terminal window.

I'll bet it isn't loading a map, add this at the end of the line when you launch...

+map_rotate

Just a stoopid question..but why everytime i exit Putty, does the game die?

Do I have to leave the SSH program running?

Thanks guys

It looks like you are using the local name and IP address. This network (127) is a test network and doesn't get "outside". Your server should have a valid IP address thru eth0 or eth1 (...).

Run: /sbin/ifconfig

You may need to run the network config utility...
