Geting server to start.

[albot]

I guess you guys get this all the time but i've had quite a hard time trying to understaind my problem.

I've installed Debian linux with some Gnome thingy and also installed the server in /home/user/soldatserver/
the problem is that i get an error message when i run the executable (both the one without .exe and the one with): "Could not show "/home/user/server/soldatserver"."

Same thing when i try it logged in on the root account.

Iv'e tried to understaind the following from the readme

"
 ---> Linux: Folder permissions!
  a) chmod 666 ./logs/
  b) chmod 666 ./logs/kills/
  c) chmod 666 ./BattlEye/
"
and i tried to enter the commands in a x-terminal but me and the OS didn't seem to understaind eachonter 

I'm sure this is basic but i didn't find anything in the stickes  or when searching.
Any ideas? is it related to the permissions?

chmod +x /home/user/soldatserver/soldatserver

Do not run the soldat server program as root.

cool. that made it work in the x-terminal in root but when trying as a user i got Access denied on only the chmod 666 ./logs/kills/ command.
same thing when typing "cd logs"

i got the following information on the directory "logs" with the command "ls -l":
drw-rw-rw- 3 username username date blah blah.

I'm looking into the problem right now but if there's an easy fix for ppl trying to set up a dedicated server the answer should probably be here. I'll post it if i find out before you do

You need to chown the folders awell to the user you are running the server under. You could just do
chown -R myusername /var/soldatserver/

I menaged to get it  to work using chmod 766 instead of chmod 666.

755 is the usual thing to use
