[Guest]

Im using the PuTTY SSH program to try and install MTA Dedicated server on my linux server, and everytime i try to run the MTAServer0_5-linux-installer.bin file i get an error saying:

Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing MTA 0.5 Dedicated Server for Linux....
./MTAServer0_5-linux-installer.bin: ./install: Permission denied

[Guest]

and do what. there is no installer file

[Jani]

tar -zvxf MTAServer0_5-linux.tar.gz

[Guest]

all i get is a list of all files in the package

[Jani]

once they are extracted, edit the mtaserver.conf to suit you, then save it, apply the server patch and run MTAServer.

chmod +x MTAServer0_5-linux-installer.bin
./MTAServer0_5-linux-installer.bin

what shud this code do?

[Jani]

"chmod +x" just sets the permission on a file to allow it to be executed

"./" runs a file.

you dont need the chmod on the tar.gz file since its only an archive. all you do is extract it.
