Dedicated Server help.

[Unclepeanut82]

Howdy all o/

I've been following a TMF server quick-start guide, and it's telling me I need a working PHP 5.x setup. I'm totally new to PHP, only just hearing about it. What is it? What do I do with it? Do I install it? So many questions.

I'm only looking to get the dedicated server up and running (Using Xaseco). Could anybody give me a helping hand or give me link/s to further information? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

So many answers.

Many thanks, but do I still need something like Apache?

If it's not mentioned in the Quick Start Guide, then it's not needed.

Alright, so I've had to restart everything. Only now, with the dedicated startup script, I'm getting this:

sudo ./tmfd start
* Starting tmfd
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

What's this error? I've managed to find where the problem is, putting echo's into the script. It's somewhere in here:

Code: Select all

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

MYPATH=/home/tmf/tmf
MYNAME=`basename $0 | sed 's/^[SK][0-9][0-9]//'`
DAEMON=$MYPATH/RunTrackmaniaNations.sh
MYPROC=$MYPATH/TrackmaniaServer
MYPIDF=/var/run/$MYNAME.pid

start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --chuid tmf --pidfile $MYPIDF --exec $DAEMON | tee /tmp/$MYNAME$$
pid=`sed -n 's~.*with pid=\([0-9][0-9]*\).*~\1~;/^[0-9]*$/p' /tmp/$MYNAME$$`
echo $pid > $MYPIDF

Any idea?
