You might need to set executable rights. Do:

chmod -R 777 srcds_linux

[QUOTE=djjkxbox360;44607924]You might need to set executable rights. Do:

chmod -R 777 srcds_linux

[/QUOTE]

Now it says cant open dedicated.srv.so

[djjkxbox360]

You might need to do chmod on that also, unless it's missing

It says no such file or directory :s

Sounds like the file is missing then, you will have to reinstall/repair srcds

Ugh, you're running the server as root.

Remove everything that has to do with the SRCDS completely.
Eg:

rm -rf /path/to/server/dir

Then follow this:

• First you want to setup a user without access to sudo, since the server does not require root access in any way. Then give it a safe and strong password.

useradd -m -s /bin/bash -d /home/servers servers
passwd servers

• After that, if you're on [B]64-bit[/B] linux you want to install the [B]32-bit libraries[/B] for SteamCMD and SRCDS to function properly. [B]Skip this if you have 32-bit linux installed.[/B]

apt-get install lib32gcc1

• Make sure you have the screen package installed:

apt-get install screen

• Next up you want to log into that user ([I]servers[/I] is the username in case you didn't understand that). You can use the su commands to switch into it, but since screen have a problem reading swapped users dev files, you may just want to open a new terminal completely.

• When you're logged in with the servers user, we want to make a few directories. One for SteamCMD and one for the GMod server itself.

cd
mkdir steamcmd gmsrv1

• Now we have one folder called [B]steamcmd[/B] which will contain the SteamCMD package, and one folder called [B]gmsrv1[/B] (short for [I]GMod Server 1[/I], in case you want multiple servers?) for the game server itself. Next up is getting SteamCMD.

cd ~/steamcmd
wget http://media.steampowered.com/client/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
tar -xvzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz

• Let's automate SteamCMD shall we?

nano ~/gmsrv1_update.sh

and put this inside the file:

@ShutdownOnFailedCommand 1
@NoPromptForPassword 1
login anonymous
force_install_dir ./gmsrv1
app_update 4020 validate
quit

Press [B]CTRL+X[/B] and then press [B]Y[/B] and then [B]Enter[/B].

• Run the update/installation script:

cd
./gmsrv1_update.sh

Let it install.

• Now we're going to create the startup script.

cd
nano start_gmsrv1.sh

and put this inside it. Customize it to your likings:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Starting up Garry's Mod server..."
screen -A -m -d -S gmsrv1 ./gmsrv1/srcds_run -console -game garrysmod +maxplayers 16 +map gm_construct
echo "Started. Type 'screen -r gmsrv1' to attach to the console screen"

Once again, [B]CTRL+X[/B] then [B]Y[/B] then [B]Enter[/B] to save.

Now to start it up simply run [B]./start_gmsrv1.sh[/B].

Notes:

To attach to the screen, write [B]screen -r gmsrv1[/B]
To de-attach from the screen [U]without[/U] killing the server, press [B]CTRL+A+D[/B].
To kill the server & screen, press [B]CTRL+X[/B] when attached to it.

I see I missed a part here, replace the code inside [B]gmsrv1_update.sh[/B] with this:

 #!/bin/bash
 
 # A convenience function, to save us some work
 update_server(){
 	#Read the app id and the directory into a variable
 
 	APP_ID=$1
 	DIR=$2
 
 	#Create the directory, if ( it doesn't exist
 	if ( [ ! -d "$DIR" ]; ) then
 		mkdir "$DIR"
 	fi
 
 	#Uh-oh, looks like we didn't create the directory. Stop
 	if ( [ ! -d "$DIR" ]; ) then
 		#Tell what went wrong
 		echo "ERROR! Cannot create $DIR!"
 		#Exit with status code 1 ( which indicates an error )
 		exit 1
 	fi
 
 	#Call SteamCMD with the app ID we provided and tell it to install
 	./steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir "$DIR" +app_update $APP_ID validate +quit
 }

 
 #Call update_server with the app id ( 4020 is Garry's Mod ) andthe folder we want the server in
 update_server 4020 "~/gmsrv1"
 #Add any additional servers here, repeat the line above, but change the directory.
 
 #Exit with status code 0 ( which means ok )
 exit 0
