Operating system

[Drakath]

I have just rented a server and there is no Debian 7.0 in the list. It is either Debian 7.5 Wheezy Oldstable or Debian 8 Stable Jessie 64bits. Does that work with MTA? There are also a lot of CentOS choices if those Debians won't work.

Debian 7.5 should work ok

Alright, thanks.

I installed it but when I do:

cd mtasa/mtasa-server/

./mta-server

it says: "-bash: ./mta-server: No such file or directory" even though it is there. I checked it with filezilla. Should I try installing the 64bit version of MTASA server? My OS is 64bit.

I wasn't able to install the package either:

root@XXXXXX:~/mtasa/mtasa-server# apt-get -y install zip unzip ia32-libs lib32ncursesw5 lib32readline5 screen

I noticed that there is no zip command. How can I install it?

[Anubhav]

apt-get install zip

[Drakath]

Seems like installing zip didn't help. I still can't install that package.

[Anubhav]

Trying using: sudo apt-get install zip

[Drakath]

Trying using: sudo apt-get install zip

I mean I did install zip successfully but I can't install the package that MTA requires:

root@XXXXXX:~/mtasa/mtasa-server# apt-get -y install zip unzip ia32-libs lib32ncursesw5 lib32readline5 screen
