Hi everybody,
So, I started I little project in Debian with my friends. We suposed to run a wowserver to play together and remember the old times. Long history short.
First we where using a Mint linux in another VPS provider. But because of high ping, we changed. This vps uses Debian 8.7. Same hardware as the other one.
I installed everything in the same way.
I run screen -AmdS to start the server (It needs 2 windows to work)
Everything fine, screen -ls show both screens detached from session.
By the minute I type exit or close the SSH client (Putty in my case), the screens are instantly terminated. Everyone gots DC.
I used to do the same commands in the other VPS, I could just close putty, relog putty, type screen -ls and the screens would be there.
I don't know how to configure my new vps to work like that, I don't know what can be causing that. After days of google research, heres a small list of stuff i tried:
nohup (Don't know how to use properly, followed some tips, no deal)
tmux
disown
screen (offcourse)
add session timeout line in sshd_conf (+ssh_conf)
Old system information uname -a
Linux vps58ed942a796dd 2.6.32-042stab123.1 #1 SMP Wed Mar 22 15:21:30 MSK 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux
New system information uname -a
Linux vps3755 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.43-2+deb8u2 (2017-06-26) x86_64 GNU/Linux.
Hope anyone can help, It kinda sux need my laptop on to keep a server running in another machine.(And pointless)
