My Steps in getting a server up might help some one else.

[CaptnSpliff]

All I can say is DEBIAN, I'm not sure if this will come close to working on other distro's.

I've done all of this as root.

Without getting complicated, I have a raid partition setup as /ut, all of my downloads are to there.

First, grab the nice big download from your favourite download (This is the 200+ mb download).


[code:1:4a888568ec]feap:/usr/local/games# ls -lah
total 8.0k
drwxrwsr-x 2 root staff 4.0k Nov 7 00:07 .
drwxrwsr-x 10 root staff 4.0k Oct 6 23:09 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 10 Nov 7 00:07 ut2003_dedicated -> /ut/server[/code:1:4a888568ec]


To keep things nice (I guess) I sym-linked the install dir to /ut/server. This is done by.

[code:1:4a888568ec] ln -s /ut/server ut2003_dedicated [/code:1:4a888568ec]

So, from the /ut dir, I unzipped the installer.

[code:1:4a888568ec]unzip ut2003dedicatedserver-linux.zip[/code:1:4a888568ec]

The next commands were.

[code:1:4a888568ec]chmod +x ut2003lnxded.sh.bin
./ut2003lnxded.sh.bin[/code:1:4a888568ec]

The defaults are generally pretty good.

Now go make a cup of coffee....

Done?

Good.

Now download the following file. The sticky post gives a url. Ah. Here it is - http://happy.divo.net/mirror/ut2003lnxded_2107to2136.tar.bz2

[code:1:4a888568ec]-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7.2M Oct 31 04:57 ut2003lnxded_2107to2136.tar.bz2[/code:1:4a888568ec]

And do these two commands...

[code:1:4a888568ec]mkdir temp
bzip2 -dc ut2003lnxded_2107to2136.tar.bz2 | tar -C temp -xv[/code:1:4a888568ec]

Now comes the loki updater, follow these commands.

[code:1:4a888568ec]cd temp/ut2003_dedicated/updater/
export UPDATER_PATH="/ut/server/updater/"
./update[/code:1:4a888568ec]

Now start your server using a guide from else where.

This is all kinda cobbled together at 12:09AM after a LONG day at work, so I make no guarentees, but this does work for me ???

I'm not sure why the update process is any different than running ./loki_update ut2003_dedicated

I've noticed that no matter what directory I've installed it to, ./loki_update ut2003_dedicated always works. I'm guessing that ut2003_dedicated corresponds to ~/.loki/installed/ut2003_dedicated.xml, which in turn is a symbolic link to the same filename in the /install_path/.manifest directory.

Of course, this file in turn contains the path you installed the dedicated server to as well as all the files presently installed.
