Server problems

Hi, I'm new to hosting games on linux, but tried to install the
dedicated-server for OFP-R.

When I launch the server it fails with the error message:
Server creation failed : 2302

My config file is very simple, and I think it's OK:

// File start
hostname="CodePoint OFP server";
motd[]=
{
"Velkommen til min OFP server.",
"LINUX dedicated server.",
}; // Welcome message
motdInterval=1;
voteThreshold=0.33;
reportingIP="";
voteMissionPlayers=3;
kickduplicate=1;
equalModRequired=1;

class Missions
{
class Mission01
{
template = 2-4_hit_hard.eden;
cadetMode = 0;
};
};
// File end

My system is a Fedorea 1 with kernel 2.4.24.

Any ideas of what could be worng?

Could be lots of things, most network/dns related.

It looks like port 2302 is already taken by another application ?? So it
fails to start....

don't know if this help you too much but i have heard that their are some
Linux OS that just don't get line nicly with flashpoint server ware, so try
using "susie, red hat or mandrake", i do know for a fact that susie run
flashpoint server as most of linux server are running susie.

Hi,
yes Marcus, it was a DNS/FW problem. Had to use a network sniffer to
identify the problem. The server sends a UDP packet to the name of the
server (as DNS) to the serverport +1. So I had to manupilate the "hosts"
file and open another port in my FW.

But I would like a error message og a debug option in the server, so that
this would be easier to debug errors like this. A message saying "error,
could not loop back to my own DNS" would be a bether error message than
"2302".
