Phat Looser Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 WARNING! You are trying to run the server as root, don't! Get your own user for MTA and replace the "root" in the following lines with that username! chown -R root:root * chmod u+x mta-server Link to comment
x86 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 WARNING! You are trying to run the server as root, don't! Get your own user for MTA and replace the "root" in the following lines with that username!chown -R root:root * chmod u+x mta-server Stop telling shit, that will mess up the whole server !!! He needs to do: chown root:root /root/multitheftauto_linux-1.3.0 -R chmod +x /root/multitheftauto_linux-1.3.0/mta-server - x86 Link to comment
Phat Looser Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Running an MTA server, or any kind of server that connects with the internet as a root is a bad idea, thats my opinion. If he wants to play it the hard way its not my business, and if you are running your server as a root its not my business either. And if running the server as another user would mess up the server, I'd have a serious issue and wouldn't be able to host anything. Seems like I don't. MTA neither requests access to port 80 or to any port below 1024, nor does it use any other resource that would require root rights. You don't need to run it as root, so don't. Unless of course you'll give everyone who visits your room the keys to your apartment. Link to comment
