epsilon Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 I want to set up an MTA:VC server, but whenever i try to execute MTAServer, i get this: root@server4501 [~]# exec /home/epsilon/mta/MTAServer -c . MTA Server for MTA:VC 0.2 ERROR: Unable to open existing Banned IP list. Starting clean. ERROR: A ServerName MUST be specified in the configuration file AND be > 0 in length. ERROR: The ServerName, ServerPort and Game MUST be specified in the configuration file. All of these are in the configuration file
b0b0 Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Holy sh*t you run your server as root!? That's dangerous...try running it as just "epsilon", don't try it as root. Btw, just a tip from me to you. Try using screen to run your servers.
epsilon Posted October 17, 2003 Author Posted October 17, 2003 thanks, but that doesn't really help the problem at hand
b0b0 Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 Maybe you have a problem with your file permissions?
b0b0 Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 epsilon, what operating system are you using? BSD? Linux?

ijsf Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 Your configuration file (mtaserver.conf) must either be in the wrong directory, or it is modified/empty. Make sure the configuration file is in the same directory as MTAServer, as well as the banned.lst file (this is not necessary). Then, make sure they are not empty or modified, and all settings are correct. At last, check out the permissions. You must set the read permissions.
epsilon Posted October 18, 2003 Author Posted October 18, 2003 everything is in the right place, and chmodded to 0777
epsilon Posted October 18, 2003 Author Posted October 18, 2003 ok, figured it out, now, is there any way to get this run as a background process? it seems to stop running when i close the ssh window :\
