Server Discussion Setting up an Ubuntu 12.04 server

I tried switch to Ubuntu 10.04, and the problem is still same, I have no choice but switch to win2003. And i'm now downloading the server. I hope it works this time.

 

I'm willing to help anyone with Ubuntu 12.04 or 13.04 free of charge. Just send me a PM or skype message.

 

I followed the original guide and I was able to get the server running with the command:

Code:

sudo su - steam -c "/home/steam/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/linux64/launch_starbound_server.sh"

However I can't get it to auto-run when the server restarts, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've followed the directions, and re-followed them. I can't even find a log file to tell me what's wrong.

 

I have a problem with the startup script.

How can i give the deamon the right's so have access to the /var/run/???

Since the update(today) my launch_starbound_server.sh has been being gone, so i've chosen "starbound_server" instead of "launch_starbound_server.sh"
Is this the reason?
If yes: pls upload the launch_starbound_server.sh for me!

 

hello, i'have follow your tutorial, but when i make

Code:

su - steam -c "/home/steam/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/linux64/launch_starbound_server.sh"

he say, file not found, and if i go on the folder /home/steam/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/linux64, i don't have any .sh
i have :

Code:

  asset_packer    bootstrap.config  starbound_server
  asset_unpacker  starbound

 

You no longer use launch_starbound_server.sh, and instead just use starbound_server.
This is what the start of mine looks like now for example:

Code:

#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:        starbound
# Required-Start:    networking
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start:    2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:        0 1 6
# Short-Description:    Starbound Server Daemon
# Description:        Starts/Stops/Restarts the Starbound Server Daemon
### END INIT INFO

PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
DESC="Starbound Server Daemon"
NAME=starbound
DIR=/home/starbound/server/linux64
DAEMON=$DIR/starbound_server
PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME.pid
SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME

USER=root
GROUP=root
DAEMON_ARGS=""

STEAM_DIR=/home/starbound
STEAM_DAEMON=$STEAM_DIR/steamcmd.sh

STEAM_USER=anon
STEAM_PASS=
STEAM_APP=211820

Note: I do use different directories and run as root. But the rest is applicable.
Changed the DAEMON to what it is now. Also to get rid of the error messages given when using update-rc I added the Required-Stop: and removed the S from Default-Stop.

 

I'm getting stuck here for some reason. I get the following error:

/

Code:

/opt/steam/steamcmd.sh: line 29: /opt/steam/linux32/steamcmd: No such file or directory

I followed all the previous steps, and when I go look in /opt/steam/linux32/ there is a steamcmd script there, so I don't know why it's saying it's not there. I created the steam user and set a password for it, and I did the ownership change.

What am I missing?

 

I figured it out from reading on another site. I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu,so I had to do this:

Code:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

After running that I tried the command again, and now I got the Steam> prompt.

Thanks!

 

I'm using this script and am very grateful for this tutorial however, in case someone (like me) uses certain bash unfriendly special characters in their steam passwords, I suggest modifying the following lines:

FROM:

TO:

Note: The quotes are what is needed.

As well as FROM:

TO:

Note: The single quotes around "$STEAM_PASS"

 

ok i got this to work just fine however after copping over our old server (ran on my laptop) to the good server the server appears not to load how can i bring up a screen or something to watch the script run or watch the server load to see if there are any errors.

 

Thank you for this great tutorial. Everything is working great on my ubuntu machine. Using Backup and Restart script.

Thx a lot!

 

Is it possible to modify the /etc/init.d/starbound file to start the server in screen -S starbound ? I'd love to see the server output when i am on the server (local)
