Anyone wanting to announce a permanent Cube server should place such announcements in this thread. Of course, the main servers at this point are grunt.splatterworld.de and dark.asamnet.de

Yes, you're connecting to Apache... the only thing you can do is typing something like GET <some_page_on_the_server> and receive the page ;)

No, it can be any port if the server admin wants, but there is no other 'common' port.

...Looks like you haven't got shell access... maybe you should wait until they provide ssh.

What access do you have on this server? (probably only FTP to upload your pages content, this is rather common for a web-only host. if so, the only thing you can do is setting up a CGI script that uses start-stop-daemon to launch Cube server in the background, but i doubt they'd allow that...)

or do they really provide a way to modify conf files and crontab ???

If you had a link to the FAQ, i'd better know.

Yeah thats what I though....lol

Probably don't.....maybe I should wait....I don't know.....

"What access do you have on this server? (probably only FTP to upload your pages content, this is rather common for a web-only host. if so, the only thing you can do is setting up a CGI script that uses start-stop-daemon to launch Cube server in the background, but i doubt they'd allow that...)"


I have ftp yes, and their control panel things...

"or do they really provide a way to modify conf files and crontab ???"
They have a crontab thing on the control panel, where you can enter crontab entries, conf files, well I don't know much about that, but you can password protect directories and I can look at and modify .htaclu and .htcl and stuff....

"If you had a link to the FAQ, i'd better know."

I'm not sure wether you have to be logged in to look at it, but the faq is at http://serv2.50free.com/members/tickets/?menu=1

if not, the next best thing is probably this

Very strange they allow crontab access to the crontab... you should try to add Cube server in it to test how much time it stays without being killed...

Ok, to run that would I just put /zzz/zzz/linux_Server ?

#116: Re: ..

You'd better create an executable script like call_cube_server.cgi that contains

#!/bin/sh
killall linux_server.cgi
/path/to/linux_server.cgi

To avoid it being launched 2 times. This simple one to test if it works, then you can refine it like not killing the server before, but only launching if it isn't already running.

note: this script file must be in unix format so if you create on a windows PC to upload it, you should create it not with notepad but with some editor like textpad or similar on which you can specify to create a unix file.

About the file, i don't know how you can set it executable, maybe their server "auto chmod's" files in *.cgi ?

at least, as it worked in a cgi file, at this point it was for sure having the execute permission set, so if you still have it at the same place with cgi extension, you should try to call this one first.

Then in your crontab you add:
0 0 * * * /path/to/call_cube_server.cgi

to have it started everyday at midnight.
(put this if you want to test it at a specific time, let's say 12:30 :
30 12 * * * /path/to/call_cube_server.cgi
note: those times are on the server's timezone so you should check that before, or simpler, making it first start every 15 minutes for testing it first:
0,15,30,45 * * * * /path/to/call_cube_server.cgi
)

eventually if you have a problem with the caller script you can try to put directly /path/to/linux_server.cgi but then be sure to set it only once at a specific time, like
30 12 16 04 * /path/to/linux_server.cgi
for starting it the 16th of april at 12:30.
Also with this method you'll have to change this entry each time it is stopped for some reason (maintenance/upgrade of the server?) and as you don't have shell access, you can't stop it unless uploading a specific script with killall so try first the caller script solution.

/me still find it strange they don't give shell access, but allow uploading executables and scripts and crontab access...

Ok, I'll try that,

and in regards to this:

"About the file, i don't know how you can set it executable, maybe their server "auto chmod's" files in *.cgi ?"
I change the permissions with ftp or the file manager



"/me still find it strange they don't give shell access, but allow uploading executables and scripts and crontab access..."

Yeah....*shrugs*

#122: CTF servs?

by Whiz_Kid121 on 05/04/2004 01:14

Are there actually any ctf or quad servs out there right now? Because whenever I try to connect to any of the servs:

1. CTF can't connect to any of the servers.

2. Quad connects but not the right protocol.

Thanks

#124: Australian Dedicated Server

by Billox on 05/29/2004 07:07

Hi,

I have setup a dedicated server on a fast DSL connection in Melbourne, Australia

The server is accessable via

www.billox.com or cube.billox.com

It should also show up as by far the lowest pinging server for Australians and New Zealanders, providing they are in Australia or New Zealand :)


Enjoy....


James

lol, that's maybe a sign that Cube community grows enough to get known even in the bronx and some favelas, according to his elite using of Shakespeare language and the highest cultural references pointed out by his nick

you cant just say something sucks. you have to give a reason... and staffy, you left your IP too :) and so did all of us...
Mr ugly-fucking-cock-sucking-game, what about it sucks, that it has good graphics, the multiplayer, the 20 meg size, the close community, the well-built levels, the awesome mapmodels, or the fact that its free?
