Linux CMD: Screen

[jaszewski]

Hi

When i want to type:

screen ./theforgottenserver

Ive got a error:

Couldnt exec '.....' Premission Denied

Why? Im loggin as root.

have you tried chmod the whole folder not just the folder itself or chmod just that file to 755. if you dont understand permissions and im guessing your using a linux os look hereTutorial for chmod

 

[jaszewski]

755?

777 are bad?

Folder with Server or whole folder with home?

Thanks for your time,
Jaszewski

 

[FruitLoop]

777 means everything is readable / writeable / executable 775 means its not writeable by the public and 755 means its not writeable by groups only the owner which you are if your root, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Its all up to you but 755 should be enough to run your server I know it is for me.

sudo? or su -s

Wich distro are u using btw?

 

[jaszewski]

Oh Sorry... distro Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop.

TFS should not be runned by root !!!

chmod +x theforgottenserver

as they said up

 

[jaszewski]

Ok, i set chmods.

Run screen as admin (no root).

Now i can get this:

[Srceen is terminating]

 

[Don Daniello]

I can give you my configuration:
start.sh

echo Starting The Forgotten Server....
sleep 0
screen -A -m -d -S tfs ./start-tfs

start-tfs

#! /bin/bash
cd /home/ots
ulimit -c unlimited
i=1
while [ $i -le 99999000 ]
do
./theforgottenserver > ./data/output.txt
i=`expr $i + 1`
done

Explanation:

• This is provided with auto restarter (it will start up after '/shutdown 0').
• It dumps core (bug report, every instance), disable by removing 3rd line of start-tfs.
• start-tfs <- auto restarter script
• 99999000 <- number of times to restart TFS
• theforgottenserver <- binary of TFS
• ./data/output.txt <- console log

How to use:

1. to run: ./start.sh
2. to restart: killall theforgottenserver
3. to stop: screen -r tfs and CTRL + C

Maybe I will write a tutorial later
Write if it's helpful.

admin@ks365267:/home/no-pvp# ./start.sh
-bash: ./start.sh: Permission denied

Whyyyy?

 

[jaszewski]

When i want to change CHMODs

admin@ks365267:/home/no-pvp$ chmod +x theforgottenserver
chmod: changing permissions of `theforgottenserver': Operation not permitted

EDIT:

In Filezilla when i connect to FTP, owner and group of this folder is root - how can i change this? Maybe there is something wrong.

EDIT: I can change chmods only as root.

 

[jaszewski]

Don Daniello any ideas?

 

[Don Daniello]

chmod +x start.sh
chmod +x start-tfs
