i dunno if this would help people better understand howto setup a server or not but i was thinking about starting a video tutorial on how to setup ronnys server step by step from installation of linux to the very end result i think it would be a great edition to the ragezone forums ill just upload the videos to a filehost and people can download them to learn let me know what you all think and get back to me on it then i will probably do it if i get enough feed back from everyones opinion's on it

My opinion on that is... there are already enough people that barely understand how Linux and all of its daemons 'work'

If they can't understand the text guide they probably should not be doing this, it is after all not that hard to figure out 'how' Linux works

Main reason behind this, stop people that have no idea how to run a server from running one, and to prevent a lot of vulnerable servers to open up and then come back here complaining they got 'hacked'

I mean really when I first tried making a pw server I had no idea how the actual pw server files etc worked, I knew the game well because I have been playing it for quite some time but it truly wasn't that hard to get it working after I messed with it a bit (having run linux servers for 10 years probably did /help/ a lot there but realistically like I have said earlier it isnt hard)

Anyway, long post is long

i know just figuring id help in some way cause u know even with ronny's server setup here people are still having troubles so i figured maybe with a video tutorial and then seing exactly what is being done would help alot

Is it more or less possible to upgrade mah server to ronnys server by just replacing the whole gamed folder with ronnys files ? Its more the question if he changed anything else.

Fail. If i just copy the whole folder, it doesnt start the map system. Also logs are empty :?:

missing chmod permissions on the folder? :mellow:

Or maybe it was just bored and being a troll... all my servers like to do that from time to time...
