[ClanWpk]

whole story is that i bought vps, added all everything i need to start and added my old server resources and configs from serverFFS. but I get error ehn launching:

 error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 
  

What to do?

Hi, please post in the subforum below this one, Linux server for questions related to stuff on Linux in the future.

What operating system? (Debian, FreeBSD, etc.)

1 - read carefully - there is Server-Linux section.

2 - search before posting. Half of posts in Linux section is about missing libpcre.so.3 file - You can easly find solution.

Read my thread, I have passed the errors and posted my solutions.

I have Debian server. Tried those apt-get lib***** commands and still nothing. same as sylver had, tried his way but idk where to but that file...

[dzek (varez)]

apt-get install ia32-libs

[Zango]

apt-get install ia32-libs

does he need the ia32-libs?

I didn't think he said 64 bit but I might be wrong

aptitude install libpcre3 

worked for me

I cant connect to server. Also why there is 500 internal error? On my home pc theres is too, but when i start on ServerFFS everything is ok. Any ideas?

EDIT: I cant connect because server turns off.

Is this the exact output of running mtaserver? Something is fucked for sure.

Backup your resources and configuration files, and wipe everything in /mtaserver

Download the latest 1.0.4 Linux nightly build @ nightly.multitheftauto.com

Upload the files, and try to start the server (without screen)

Does it work?

Now add your mtaserver.conf

Does it still boot correctly?

If not, there's a fatal error inside it.

If it boots, add resources and additional configuration files. If everything still fine and works with screen, you can conclude it was your server files.

[ClanWpk]

It works now. BUT it cant still connect to master server and does not show up on internet list. Any ideas again?

[Zango]

I reckon Game Monitor 500 error is fail to add new IP, try and add it manually.

A note though, you should wait 20 hours before judging anything reliable of it

Thats why its not working. Older added servers are ok but not new. I think I just need to wait

Yeah seem's like they're having some trouble.
