I'm tryign to install a counter strike 1.6 server in linux...

I'm following teh tutorials i find step by step.. but it always does teh same thing...

-------

when i go tot extract the hlds_l_1120_full.bin i get a "error extracting payload no suck file or directory" but it gives me the eula agreement, then i say yes, then it does this... the file name is right...

what am i doing wrong..

i created mkdir /hlds
i moved teh hlds bin file to that directory...

???

help...

In fact your .bin file try to extract the files it contains in /usr/steam. As it doesn't exist, it fails
So simply create /usr/steam directory

hello oliv' i tried what u said, i did this:

[peter@server hlds_1]$ mkdir -p /usr/steam
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/steam': Permission denied
[peter@server hlds_1]$
[peter@server hlds_1]$

i had the same problem as the guy up the top, how do i fix it.


thanks

Hi peter,

You need to log as root to create it... the problem is that you should not install steam server as root... 'cause if you do that you'll run it as root and if someone hack it...
So what I do, is that I create a steam user (see man useradd for more info)... then do the following:
and that should work

Download the .tgz version, not .bin
The .bin is the cause of most major headaches with HLDS install

where do you get the tgz file

Or get the steam updating program thingy: http://www.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin
