IP address error with linux server

Post by **elpresidente** » Thu Mar 17, 2005 3:05 am

I've been working on getting a couple game server running on a linux box I have in the house. It's behind a router and port forwarding is set up. When I run

./q3ded +set net_ip 207.179.110.176 +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game westernq3 +set logfile 1 +set com_hunkmegs 16 +exec server.cfg

I get:

i am also having this problem with a call of duty server I set up but that works if I run it from root (bad idea). The Q3 server does not run from root or normal user.

Any suggestions?

try googling "UDP_OpenSocket" you'll probably find the answer there faster.

Thanks. I actually posted here after googling and trying different things for the last 2 days. I figure it has to do with how it binds an ip address with net_ip setting. Why is works with COD in root but nothing else, I don't know. I have googled every possible combination of the error message. So far I've tried to stick within gaming sites. I guess I'll have to post to some general linux boards.

Thanks for the time. If anyone else has a suggestion, I'd appreciate. I'll definately be coming back. This is a good board. Glad I found it.

Figured it out. With call of duty it was working with +set net_ip in the command line. I put it in the .cfg instead and ran from regular user and it worked fine. Knew it was something simple. Thanks for the help all.
