i had this working just fine then i tried to add bots to the server, and i restarted it and it didnt come back up just sits there, but pegs my cpu at 100%. what would cause this to work then to stop? i reinstalled Q3. i am running this on fedora core 5 w/ the 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 kernel. and the 1.32b point release.

sounds like no cfg being exec'd. put +exec [servercfgname].cfg at the end of your shortcut.

edit: maybe not? paste your server.cfg plz

You have no d1 set.
The last line of the cfg looks for string d1, which there is none.

What happens if you manually start a map (`map q3dm1`) from the console?
