BF2 Demo Server install error

Skillz · 11-16-2009, 05:45 PM

I think I know the problem, I just do not know how to fix it.

This is the error I am getting while trying to run the installer.

Code:

./bf2-linuxded-1.0.2446.12d-installer.sh: ./license.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

I think it's caused from the tmp directory being setup with noexec; since the game installer seems to want to put the install files in the tmp directory while it installs it.

So I thought I could just edit the script and remove the location of the tmp path to something my user has rights to. No go. This is what happened.

Code:

Verifying archive integrity...Error in MD5 checksums: adb6fcabdecdb69de4fba778bfe3d3fa is different from bd9ba3fafe9e514340f1e55c32893c71

So I said ok, I can just change the MD5 on the installer to match the changes I just made, right? Well the script tells you the new MD5 so I just used that in the location where it says MD5.

Which was: adb6fcabdecdb69de4fba778bfe3d3fa

So I put that new MD5 in the installer. Then I get this error.

Code:

Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Battlefield 2 Dedicated Linux Server 1.0.2446.12d.... incomplete literal tree

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
..Extraction failed.
Signal caught, cleaning up

No clue what I did wrong, I only changed two lines.

MD5="adb6fcabdecdb69de4fba778bfe3d3fa"
TMPROOT=${TMPDIR:=/home/bf2/tmp/}

Those are the only two lines I altered.

I am at a loss as to what to do now.

What version? 64 or 32 bit? If I 'md5sum bf2-linuxded-1.0.2446.12d-installer.sh' gives me a5f7388c02c1855a9530991e0a33ba5a on the file itself and 'grep -a -m1 ^MD5= bf2-linuxded-1.0.2446.12d-installer.sh returns "MD5="1782bca55f4d72c5cdee462fa6f7b554""... Odd to see your internal MD5 is different but I can at least verify with one other source the file MD5 matches. Download again?

I think the reason for the different MD5 sums is because of the actual MD5 listed in the file itself. When you run the program, it'll tell you the actual MD5 if it's incorrect. So you just change it to match in the file. I only got an MD5 error after altering the path on the installer.

I tried to run md5sum file.sh and it gave me a completely different MD5. Then when I ran the installer, it told me something different. So I ran another MD5 (with the md5 changed in the file) and I got a different MD5 again, but the installer still gave the same MD5 from the previous run error. So I used that MD5 and it got past the integrity check just fine.

If you see the last thing I posted, it says the integrity checked out ok. Then it gives the error "incomplete literal tree" so I am wondering if something messed up when I edited the file using a text editor.

As you can see here: gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
..Extraction failed. it implies that the archive is invalid. When the same archive had no problems like this, only a permission problem.

How can I temporarily remove noexec from the /tmp directory, so I can install the game server, then set it back to noexec when I am done. I believe this would be the easiest/fastest solution.
