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

#93: How do I change my server name?

by e:n:i:g:m:a on 02/23/2004 06:02

Hey, I sometimes run a cube server passworded w/ friends and when I run the server, and look in the server browser, my server is "The-Machine" BUT, when other computers connect, it is listed as the crappy name from my ISP d(some numbers and dashes). blah blah blah... Anyway, is there any I can change this?

#94: How do I remove my server from the web server list?

by e:n:i:g:m:a on 02/23/2004 06:04

Hey, I sometimes run a dedicated server to play with friends, however, I usually don't keep it running, but it's listed on the server list here, is there some way that I can remove my computer from the list for when I am not running a server?

#96: Help on XP

by Bascule on 03/17/2004 23:03

Since I locked my XP Home machine down recently, closed all ports etc., I can't run a server.

Well, I can and it registers with the Masterserver, but the Master can't ping the server, because the inbound port (28765 or 28766-which?) is closed.

Does anyone know an easy way to re-open a single port for this purpose? Even better, for it to re-opened while the server is running and closed again on shutdown.

#97: Services

by Pxtl on 03/18/2004 00:12

I forget what its called - firedaemon I think. I'll double check when I get home. Either way, there's a way to set up normal programs to run as services under XP. I ran a UT server as one for a while.

Now, I'm just guessing, but it would make sense that a system running as a service under XP would force the ports open and shut on star/stop of the service. Or, at least, you should be able to bind ports to a service. Or something like that. It seems like it would be the place to do such things.

#98: Re: Help on XP

by D.plomat on 03/18/2004 20:55, refers to #96

it needs both the two ports... one for the game itself (movements, shots, deaths etc...)
and one for the gameinfo(server browser, #of ppl, map, gametype...)

#99: Protocols and stuff

by IceBlade on 04/11/2004 05:09

Can someone explain about server protocols? My friend is apparanlty on 118 and can't connect to most of the servers....does he have an okd Cube version or something

:s

#100: Re: Protocols and stuff

by pushplay on 04/11/2004 07:02, refers to #99

Yes he does, or he compiled it himself.

by IceBlade can't log in on 04/12/2004 03:08, refers to #100

Ok then, I\'m sure he didn\'t compile it himself, I don\'t think he know how and he doesn\'t have linux anyways. I\'ll have to get him to download the right 1,

thanx

#102: ok, server.....I think....hope

by IceBlade775 on 04/14/2004 01:38

OK, I don't know if this is working, or how long it will be, but I seem to have got it, I have attempted to set up a server on gametry.50free.org
if anyone can try it and tell me if it is working that would be cool, I only have 500MB transfer, but I have read that Cube doesn't use much bandwith, so....

#103: ok....

by IceBlade775 on 04/14/2004 01:56

It was working, and I was playing a game w/ some people, things were going fine, but in the middle of the second(I think) game I (and I think everyone on) was disconnected, and I can't log back on, will see what I can do about this.

#104: hmm

by IceBlade775 on 04/14/2004 02:00

How I got it to work in the first place was by giving the linux_server a .cgi extension, and then going to this url in my browser, [this is what I think happened] which I think may have executed the program? because I went to it in the browser again and then it began working again....hmmm, or maybe I just need to use one of these php scripts to restart the server program if it crashes??

reply to this message

#105: hmmm hmmm

by IceBlade775 on 04/14/2004 02:12

Ok, it seems to work fine now, I think it just crashed or something, and I think I saw some php scripts here to restart it...


As for bandwidth, I may manage, it depends how often people use it I guess, I don't see Cube being too heavily used, so I think it'll be ok, if not, this server will just be offline at the end of everymonth xD

Anyways, after I get a job I may pay for more bandwidth....

#106: PS

Sorry for all the multiple posts, just wanted to add, my server is also referred to as:


lastrites.50free.org
SpecCon.50free.org
209.25.134.190

#107: Re: hmm

probably by launching it as a cgi, the httpd process calling it is waiting for it to return, which indeed a server doesn't, so it is probably killed after some timeout.

If you have access to httpd.conf you can raise the timeout, but if you had shell access to this server it'd been easier to just start it as a standalone server instead of a CGI ;)

About using PHP, PHP also have it's own timeout so this won't probably help, and worst, you must find a way to have the server permanently running, not being restarted.

Eventually the only thing you can do is having another machine(like an ordinary PC on a DSL) on which you have full access which uses wget or similar in a script that periodically calls the CGI URL. Then a good thing would be to find a way to kill the already running server and time this exactly to the duration of one round so ppl aren't disconnected in the middle... however, that still wouldn't suit for arena and still ppl would get disconnected after each round...

#108: Ok

by IceBlase@school on 04/14/2004 13:47

I dn't believe I have shell access, although I'm kind of new to this sort of thing, I only know that it has support for php and perl, and I have ftp access. [Nothing has been mentioned about having or lacking telnet.] I tried figuring out otherways to get the server to run it, I changed it to linux_server.exe and the server's file manager recognized it as a binary, however I don't know how to start it, could I by any chance use a crontab command that would start it?
If so, what exactly would it be, becauase I don't really understand what syntax those commands have to be in. Meanwhile, I can try the other things, I think I can at least raise the timeout. When it times out, would it be taken off the Master list? Because it still seems to be on there now, which would be weird unless maybe somone else started it by going to the url....

#109: The simplest solution is with shell access

by D.plomat on 04/14/2004 14:53

You should try

telnet 209.25.134.190

or

ssh 209.25.134.190

if you can log in, you just have to

cd /where/you/have/cube/server
./linux_server

then it will be running as long as your ssh/telnet console is open. Eventually you can try
start-stop-daemon --background /path/to/linux_server
i don't know if this works, i'll try to make an rc script to
/etc/init.d/cube start|stop|restart

You can also try to put the start-stop-daemon in a CGI shell script that you call from your machine, but then you've to be sure that this script won't launch a linux_server process if one is already running to avoid opening a vulnerability on the server.

About changing extension to exe, this only makes windows think it's a window binary, this doesn't change anything for a Linux/Unix box.

About a cron entry on the server, same thing as for the CGI, you've got to call not the server itself, but a script that first check that it isn't already running... but if you can setup cron entries and scripts on the server, it's probably that you already have shell access ;)

#110: well

by IceBlade775 on 04/14/2004 20:55

I don't know, as for ssh, this is in the faq:


"Do you provide SSH?
SSH is too risky to provide. Lots of abusers take advantage of it. Soon we will be offering it as an upgrade."

I can set up scripts by uploading them and using the file manager or ftp to change the permissions, and I can set cron entries with a control panel type thing they have, but I'll try anyways...
