Ubuntu 15 dedicated server problem

Gingerbread · September 27, 2015

Hi guys, so i finally decided to install a dedic server on a linux machine and i successfully generated the world for the first time I ran the console but after some time, I stopped server and restarted at some point and i got some warnings in the logs. To solve the problem I removed the file under session and restarted server but now in all of my new worlds, portal spawns in the water and all grass saplings are in the water side. I am literally joining to the game in water. Do you know any idea why it is happening? By the way i just started the server without any worldgen lua and such to test.. First time everything loaded as expected but as soon as i stopped and restarted a lot of things were failed to load or save like in the logs.

By the way someone told be to make a start_dst.sh script file and add the following line into it

screen -S "DST Server" bash -c './dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -console'

I ran the server second time with this script in which all problem started.

Hi @PolarBeer,

it seems there be a permission problem in multiple folders on your servers

Gingerbread · September 27, 2015

Hi @PolarBeer,

it seems there be a permission problem in multiple folders on your servers

should i change home directory's ownership to my super user account from root such as

sudo chown –R sycater:sycater ~/

? or would it cause a security problem in linux machines? changing whole home directory of a specific username to itself is a good idea in linux? and will it work? or is there any other solution to do it?

Thanks.

ToNiO55 · September 27, 2015

@PolarBeer,

if sycater is really owner of folder

don't change the owner of folder (yes for security question he's better to stay with your current user)

you can try this:

su - sycatercd /home/sycater/.klei/chmod -R 755 DoNotStarveTogether

Gingerbread · September 27, 2015

@PolarBeer,

if sycater is really owner of folder

don't change the owner of folder (yes for security question he's better to stay with your current user)

No the owner of the folder seems like root for my home directory. Not the super user i assigned.

drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Sep 26 23:53 dst_server
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep 26 23:53 Steam
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Sep 26 23:52 steamcmd

this is the home directory for sycater user. However for the hidden directory ~/.klei, the ownership seems like sycater and group ownership is also sycater

drwxr-xr-x 3 sycater sycater 4096 Sep 27 06:45 DoNotStarveTogether

also permission is already like 755 for this folder..

another part is this inside ~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether file permissions are like this

-rw-r--r-- 1 sycater sycater     0 Sep 27 08:02 chat_log.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root    root    45325 Sep 27 05:29 log.txt
drwxr-xr-x 6 sycater sycater 4096 Sep 27 02:54 save
-rw------- 1 sycater sycater    32 Sep 27 02:28 server_token.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 sycater sycater   463 Sep 27 08:02 settings.ini

seems like save folder seems to have permission 755

ToNiO55 · September 27, 2015

@PolarBeer,

if I understand you install your server DST with root?

I see your dst_server with as owner is root

indeed it would be change this for security but also for the server to function properly

(make this command with root and be in the home directory to view the folder below)chown -R sycater:sycater dst_server Steam steamcmd

Gingerbread · September 27, 2015

@PolarBeer,

su - sycatercd /home/sycater/.klei/chmod -R 755 DoNotStarveTogether

Okay thank you, this one solved my problem but file still says

sycater@dontstarvetogether:~/dst_server/bin$ sudo ./start_dst.sh

I am going to make it too but how do i stop server? I just ran with this script an logout from sycater account:

screen -S "DST Server" bash -c './dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -console'

Problem is once i got back to the server there is no screen for it. so i cant kill screen to stop. I was stopping server like that before.

but now the major problem is i have no idea how to stop server from running

ToNiO55 · September 27, 2015

@PolarBeer,

you can stop screen with this command (that's going stop your server) :

screen -dr name_of_your_screen -X -S quit

for your screen it's like that:

screen -dr DST Server -X -S quit

there has hugely way for stop a server
I just show a simple method

Gingerbread · September 27, 2015

no it says there is no screen like that but server is up..

ToNiO55 · September 27, 2015

@PolarBeer,

maybe it's DST_server?

you can show exactly the name of your all screens with this command:

screen -ls

But server is up and running XD

ToNiO55 · September 27, 2015

@PolarBeer,

and if you make this:

ps -ef | grep DSTor ps -ef | grep dst

if you have no answer, it's look like your server don't running

And i can still join to server and 5 people playing now.

ToNiO55 · September 27, 2015

@PolarBeer,

this is because you start checking the screen with user sycater:

sycater@dontstarvetogether:~/dst_server/bin$ screen -lsNo Sockets found in /var/run/screen/S-sycater.

except that your screens are run it as root:

root      6830     1  0 15:28 ?        00:00:00 SCREEN -S DST Server bash -c ./dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -consoleroot      6922     1  0 15:38 ?        00:00:00 SCREEN -S DST Server bash -c ./dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -consoleroot      7122     1  0 15:54 ?        00:00:00 SCREEN -S DST Server bash -c ./dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -console

when you check the screens he check only with your current user

and that's why you can't kill the screen because the owner of the screen is root

you need to redo the manipulation as root

by cons it's best to launch the screen with your user sycater

(also for the security issues)

i guess this is because all of my home directory and files belong to root. I run that script with

sudo ./script.sh

not directly like

./script.sh

because it belongs to root as i said.

so i can see the process in top command

should i kill it from there to stop process?

ToNiO55 · September 27, 2015

@PolarBeer,

when you are root

you can make again this:

normally it should work, because you will see the screen

unfortunatly i don't use top, i use htop

if that's not works with command, tell me i going explain how to kill with htop

Alright man i stopped server changed the ownership of sycater's home directory and now when i run the process i can see it even logging out and comin back server is there i can return to screen and world generates without any problem as well..

Thank you VERY much for your all help. I will mention you in my server description .

@PolarBeer,

no problem, my pleasure to help, you welcome

so your server works good now?

i mean he saved correctly data?

there seems to be no problem for the moment. should all file have 755 permission under home directory for the user sycater? or just ~/.klei

?

ToNiO55 · September 27, 2015

@PolarBeer,

normally there is no need

but if you see new problem, it would indeed be necessary to do so

Gingerbread · September 27, 2015

Well thanks man. Also what are the additional files needed? such as blocklis.txt, adminlist.txt, modeverrides.lua, another mod lua (i dont remember its name), worlgen.lua? what exactly the name of those files and what should be their directories?

Should I use filezilla to upload those files or just create it like worldgen.lua, adminlist.txt and such?

ToNiO55 · September 27, 2015

@PolarBeer,

you are on version cave? (beta public)

if no, i make just some example with your settings:

adminlist.txt => create the file here: => /home/sycater/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/save

there should be one more lua file for modding. I remember this from citadelservers. Like one of them helps you to download mods but the other one is about arranging config files for a specific mod..

Not really into caves at the moment. I could hardly install this . Should get comfortable with installing normal one first to think about caves...
