IceMan Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Hi, I need to make my server 24/7 like making it run without having to keep SSH open to make the server stay up. I need to do this because my connection keeps restarting itself because of the very bad weather we have been getting (ie, power cuts, floods etc). So what i want to know is how do i do this?
Hedning Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 So you want a server to stay up when your internet is down?
IceMan Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 Yes, thats what i want btw, my mta server is on my dedi server not on my pc
kevuwk Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 you are talking about SSH sessions so i presume it is linux, search for the screen functions and that should help
AlienX Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Quote: So you want a server to stay up when your internet is down? You: Yes You say the server is on a dedicated server, im assuming this is outside of your own internet connection... If so, you ovisually wont be able to check the status of your server when your internet connection is down... Also to keep the server online without having to keep putty (or whatever u use) open is a command based thing on the start syntax.. i dunno what it is but be sure to contact your server hosting company for advice.
IceMan Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 GL with that.Worked for me before but i didn't set it up my host did but i moved since then to a new host. Surely is possible to do without contacting my host? Other people must make the server 24/7 so it must be possibleWhat my old host did was make a command ./startserver which would make the server go online and make it possible to close SSH (putty) and when the server went down and then came back online it restarted it without having to do ./startserver
Hedning Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I thought you wanted a server (that you have on your computer) to be online even if your internet died.
AlienX Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Sounds like ur new host is poop lol... I aint a Linux guru, so i cant help any further
IceMan Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 Aint there some sort of nohup like sa-mp has?
IceMan Posted July 19, 2007 Author Posted July 19, 2007 Ok well im using the nohup file from sa-mp and its working fine. Dont have to keep putty open no more.
Guest Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 i dont understand how to make my server 24/7 .. can anyone explain me how to do that? but i want that the scripts would work..
Jani Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Install the screen package. When logged in to an ssh session, try something like screen -dmS mtaserver ./mta_server I think that's the right syntax.
Jani Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 If you're running a Debian-based distro (eg. Debian, Ubuntu etc) just use apt-get install screen (as root obviously). For Fedora, I expect it would be something like yum install screen. Not sure for about other distros, I'm not very experienced with Linux.
jkub Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 I recently got banned from alienx server like at LEAST a MONTH ago... I really like that server it is geed up from the feet up, i got banned for edited handling lines but it was the second offense i read the license aggreement that it would take three offenses to get banned pemently, but i only had two and got banned permently, but i was recently trying to install a mod on my game on the gta3.img file when my computer crashed in the process, so my game coruppted and i had to reinstall it again, I would appreciate getting back into the server, I dont know what the site was thats why i posted it here smielys are evil they crash my computer
