Important Information For Anybody Running A Server on Debian/Linux
7 replies, posted
Hello everybody,
The new update brought upon many fixes which were needed however also brought many bugs.
One prerequisite that I noticed is that anybody running on Debian will now require Curl3 on their servers. (curl3:i386 for 64bit).Keep in mind that I only use Debian variants and have no idea what you would need to install for CentOS distros.
Anyways, on to the major bug: I have noticed that writing to the stdin and retrieving the stdout appears to no longer be possible. This is a huge inconvenience for people like me designed their control panel to directly talk with the server instead of using RCon. This actually caused a back-end hang for all the threads that work on querying and retrieving stats yesterday evening for me (I should have put a time-out timer :) )
I'm still looking further into this and will post back once I know more.
I can't say much for the stdin/out thing but curl3 does not need to be installed for me for GMod SRCDS to work. Debian 8.1 64-bit.

It seems that srcds_run isn't invoking srcds_linux properly so that stdout gets redirected. Have a look at that?
Hello,
Yeah, Curl3 isn't exactly 100% required however a new error did just arise when running SRCDS saying that it was missing.
I'll take a look the stdout and stdin again in a little bit.
That most likely is the reason that it isn't being run properly. This never happened with any other updates.
I see what you mean. This is a real pain on my part. I hope that somebody higher up could at least take a look and fix it in the dev. build or something.
will make a fail-safe system anyways but it's really limiting me here.

Does anybody know if I am able to get this sent in as a bug request without having to open a new thread? Thanks.
