Problems when starting UT......

[gabrio]

hi there

running as root, i get this, what the hell? everything seems installed OK and i checked out ASU and configured, at least i think......

braun# ./ut-server/ucc.init start
Starting Unreal Tournament: This account is currently not available.
This account is currently not available.
ucc.init
braun# This account is currently not available.

what does it mean 'this account' ? which account? i am root at this moment executing this

and now i tried to start it not as 'root' but as user 'gabrio' adding the permissions of course, and i get:

/ucc-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open sh
ared object file: No such file or directory

ideas?

The first error you were getting had to do with the settings in ASU. In the config you need to tell it what user to run as (probably best to make a new user - UTSRVR maybe...). It is set as NONE by default. If the user doesn't exist, you will get some weird results. Although I haven't tried it, if you set ASU to run as user ROOT and started it as root, I'm not sure how SU handles the equivalent of a double negative (root su root).

As for the second error, that can be found on the ASU webisite. It means that either you don't have the required package installed or it is missing a correct symlink (thanks redhat/mandrake). not really difficult to fix, the instructions are there and I can't recall them exactly....

Hope that helps......
