Linux Question

[Rand Dusing]

I'm up and running on Suse along with Apache2 and soon PHP and MySQL when I find out how to do it.

But right now I'm installing a BF1942 server and hopefully a DoD server later.

- Untar the distribution archive. This will generate a directory where
the server and all its related files reside.

Example:
$ tar xjf bf1942_lnxded-1.5.tar.bz2

- Modify Mods/bf1942/Settings/ServerSettings.con to your taste.

Example:
$ cd bf1942
$ vi mods/BF1942/Settings/ServerSettings.con

- Run the server from within the top-level directory by typing
./start.sh [arguments] from a shell.

Example:
$ cd bf1942
$ ./start.sh +game XPack1 +statusMonitor 1

whenever I type ./start.sh in the Konsole it says it can't fine the file.

The file is located in file:/start.sh . It's a batch file. Can I run this another way then by typing a command?

[krohnjw]

does it say cannot find or cannot execute?

If it is cannot execute then chmod it +x, if it cannot find it then it is not in the directory you are presently in.

[Rand Dusing]

It said can't find it. How do I get the konsole to that directory? It's just in the file:/ directory.

[krohnjw]

cd directory name
ie cd bf1942

Then do an ls to make sure that start.sh exists.
If it does then you can execute ./start.sh

[Rand Dusing]

It's not on a CD, if that's what you mean by cd. So I would go cd "file:/" without quotes or should I move it back to file:/bf1942, and then I would say cd bf1942 ?

[krohnjw]

cd is the command to change directories

so cd DirectoryName

[Rand Dusing]

so would I got cd file:/ or what? cause it's not in a directroy. It's located like this: file:/start.sh

[krohnjw]

did you move the file from the directory it was extracted to?

[Agent_Embryo]

try

"whereis start.sh"

to try to find the directory where the file is. It's not the best way of finding it, but it might work.

[krohnjw]

That will only work if it is in his path AE
