Linux dedicated server bug with persistant storage folder

Bug is also happening with -persistent_storage_root ./ (creating subfolder in bin/ and failing to read/write config, but it works good with -persistent_storage_root ../ (creating subfolder in main server folder)

Hello Omano,

The argument  -persistent_storage_root  was not meant to be used with a relative Path. By default, the game writes its data in ~/.klei/. This is the storage root.

If you use  -persistent_storage_root, please give it an absolute path, otherwise the path will be resolved from the installation bin (yes it was data before) directory. In order to select the sub-folder in this directory, you should use -cluster XX.

Also, can you check that the bin folder have the permission that the data folder ? Maybe you just need to add write permission to the bin folder.

Thanks for the report

Ok thanks for the reply. with relative path when it was working with the data/ folder everything was fine, but I was just lucky it was working as I understand. The relative path was and is still required for me, but as ../ works fine as a path for now, it is my solution (I needed it to make DST server compatible with Open Game Panel http://www.opengamepanel.org/forum/index.php a project to manage/install game servers) So for now I found everything I needed and DST servers install, configure, and runs fine now in OGP with CAVES supported too with a little trick (the two processes is not helping with Open Game Panel as you need different game server folders for each process/server you start)

edit: bin/ permission were 771 and other folders  are 775 maybe that was the problem but do not think so, my user should still be able to read/write

 

edit2: issue can be closed but I don't have power (or knowledge) to do that.
