I setup a counter-strike game server on my cPanel dedicated server with cPGS and i have a problem/error. When peoples try to connect to my counter-strike game server it`s appears an error like "Invalid key server", something like that. What it`s the problem and how can i fix it?
Can someone please help me to fix this problem.
We here at KAN Gaming have an extra server if a clan would like to have it please e-mail the Server Owner/Manager/Administrator at sgtmedic@gmail.com I think he is only hosting it for only $5 a month 14 - 18 slots It will have amxmodx adminmod and i BELIVEVE HLTV so give him a e-mail and he will talk to you about payment opitions most likely paypal i believe!

View 0 Replies View RelatedLately, our server logs are being filled with requests from exploited servers. In order to prevent our servers from being hacked, I have tried to harden the server as much as possible. (Server: Centos 4.6, Apache 2, PHP 5, MySql 5, Cpanel/WHM)
I have detailed my efforts and would appreciate some feed back or suggestions of your own that have been effective.

11) Review my logs daily to look for problem child scrapers, hackers, and issues.
Hello all, First time poster on the forum and i hope you can all answer my questions, thanks.
About 2 weeks ago I bought a team fortress 2 gameserver from a provider in the U.K and it has been great and it was a good price.
A few days ago i was speaking to a friend and he suggested that i should use a VPS because it is cheaper and i could run maybe 2 32 man slot servers on a VPS.
I was just wondering if anyone has tried this, is it a good idea?, what is the cheapest UK VPS provider? i think easyspace is the best i could find.
I am currently paying 15 pound a month for a 20 man team fortress 2 server and i can get a 32 man for 24, so anything below that is great.
Many thanks all, and look forward to seeing the replies.
I just got a dedicated server yesterday for my website. I originally had it on a VPS, but sharing the server with numerous other people bogged down the harddrive.
Anyway, I got a dedicated with a Quad-Core 2.5Ghz processor(Q9300), 150gb Raptor, 8 Gb Ram (Yes, Eight), 100Mb connection, on Windows Server 2008 Standard. (Server is at limestonenetworks.com )
Well, it will be a few months before the website takes off to heights requiring this power. I just bought it now so I don't have to keep upgrading when hitting the ceiling.
Unfortunately, I'm paying $200 a month with not much action. However, windows 2008 comes with Hyper-V software, so I can run VPS's. I was thinking about selling like one super-powerful VPS (at least 4 gig ram dedicated) to someone who wants to start a game server. I'd ask just for like $50 bucks a month, which is pretty darn good for the server specs.
As this is not the offers forum, which I can't post in, I'm asking if these are good enough specs for someone to host a bomb game server on? Anyone know a forum where I could get some offers?
I decided to setup a Counter Strike Source game server on my spare laptop which has the following specs:
850mhz Pentium III
384MB RAM
30GB HD
Surprisingly, it can manage 24 players (haven't had more people on yet) with very little noticeable lag and only with a 1.3MBit upload speed. :-) It took some fine tuning with the server rates but it's doing pretty well so far.
[url]
I'm looking to put 4-6 CoD4 servers on a dedicated server.
What specs would be good for a box for that many servers?
How would a E6600 2.4GHz with 2gb memory do?
I hope some of you folks could give me some pointers here. I have a server that is used for a gaming clan's purposes. Nothing major as far as games go, but what I got I want running at peak efficiency.
The most important is the Counter-Strike source. I really need the kernel frequency to be tweaked for this. The number one question is can I merely modify the existing config file and recompile that or do I need to start all over? If I could do that is it something like make old or something to that matter?
I am running a couple other servers as well, but there is never a time where all the servers have anyone in them. I keep everything running. After installing some weird stuffs here and there I got the memory usage to go down. I think. Regarding a scenario of having more than one instance of a game, is there any way to share memory between them?
My Swap. Is there a way to force idling games to move to it instead of using physical memory?
The kernel is what I really need to take care of. I'm still somewhat of a n00b and have just switched from centos to debian to top it off. So any tips would make my day. Thanks for reading me.
Game Server - Swat 4!
Well, I need a game server that can handle swat 4! I want it to be really cheap, (dont really want a dedicated server, want a GAME server)
as you may know i am fairly new at setting up my own servers, well i was wondering if anyone out there could help me with setting up a dedicated game server to run halo or battlefield i have halo server installed on my windows xp box and followed the read me from start to finish, have port forwarded to the box but i just get the command line coming up saying dedicated server is running on map timberland <0 / 12 players>
im looking to host this game to the internet for people to play off my server not just for a lan server of the game.
I'm a flight Sim Buffer, I use Microsoft flight simulator X Delux, I also have real flying hours under my belt too.
My Question is, what would I need to have FSX running 365 days of the year with upto 100 Connections at all times from it, plus teamSpeak?
Should I Rent a gaming server and allow my costs to increase, which taking into account I have three children, would be quite hard? Or is there a Gaming server service that I can use?
Any help would be great, also I picked this topic, and I'm quite new for posting, so do forgive me for posting in the wrong topic if thats the case.
I'm making an online puzzle game and I'm wondering which virtualization would handle it the best: OpenVZ or Xen and why.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am running a counterstrike source 20 slot 66 tick server on my vps.
My vps specs: 512mb ram
When I have around 4 players on it my cpu load is around 7% when theres no players on it its around 0%.
I take it this is really good? Cause I thought cpu usage would be alot higher.
I am looking to set up a personal game server for me and my clan, initially one or two game servers running and we will go from there but for now I don't even know what the specs for one TF2 server would be acceptable.
I will be hoping to run a 32 person TF2 server and a 48 COD4 server(if possible)
I have done some searching but for 1.50 a slot and some companies not even offering 32 person TF2 - I could very well manage it myself. My problem is I don't know what hardware I would need.
Currently I am hosting a server for a particular video game from my home with a large amount of bandwidth using FreeBSD 7.2 and VirtualBox. Everything works perfectly, but I'm looking into a new domain and a professional hosting solution in order to improve the overall experience for my users. I'm a college student (graduate, robotics) and therefore I'm on a tight budget.
I've generated a usermap using a GeoIP database that shows the span of my userbase.
In short, most of my users are from America and northern Europe.

The virtual machine I use currently uses 192 MB of virtual RAM. Although the hard drive uses over 6GB, most of that is taken up by the operating system itself (Windows XP MCE) -I can fit my daemon into 2GB. Using Linux or FreeBSD is not an option unfortunately. I do not require high reliability, but I cannot afford to be locked into a contract. If possible, I'd like to get a VPS host with a low introductory cost so that I can determine whether my needs will be met with as little cost.
After checking around for low-cost VPS hosts that fit these criteria, the three most likely candidates seem to be:
- 24shells.net - $18 a month
- Pandela - $24 a month
- Kickass VPS - $35 a month
(can't provide URLs)
there are some game types out there that are not protected from any type of udp flood attack. I have been doing a lot of work (my servers are linux) and blocked this by coding a bash script running every second checking tcpdump for the amount of current UDP connections and blocks the ip witch has more than a certain number of current UDP connections. This works perfeclty, but it firewalls the ip AFTER the attack started.
I am really interested into blocking this attack fully. Limiting the number of current connections (UDP) from an ip to a certain amount to block this attack totally. I have been looking around a lot and have had no luck. From what I have found, there is no way to do this with iptables or ipchains. It is possible for TCP though, but I could not find it for UDP. Could anyone help me out here.
Just to let you know, I do run a firewall, but it would never pick up this type of attack unless it was major. This is more like a game type bug (firewall thinks the packets are fine, player packets going to the game server).
I was thinking about building a TF2 server 24 slot and colocating it at colopronto. I have a P4 HT 3.2 2 gigs of ram 2x160 SATA drives. I won't be hosting any other games on the server, just one instance of TF2. I have a couple of questions.
Which is better, Windows or Linux to use? Are my hardware specs good enough? how much bandwidth do you think I'll use a month on a 24 slot server as opposed to a 32 slot? Thanks for any input.
I've been developing a small 2D MMORPG lately. I bought a VPS to run the server on a few days ago and sadly it doesn't work so well. Sometimes the loads go pretty high (afaik not caused by me) and MySQL freezes, causing the server to just wait for MySQL to unlock, hanging all the players around on the map. Not a good thing.
Anyway, the game is very small scale, and I'm not planning to have more than maybe 30-50 players online. It does not suck up much CPU, I had ~10 guys online and loads stayed down at 0.00 on the VPS box.
Problem with getting a dedicated is our very low budget. As I'm still underage and living at home hammering my pc and don't have any real incomes, we're talking numbers like $ 30 - $ 50 USD per month - it's really hard to find for that price in Europe.
Requirements:
Monthly payment, $ 30 - $ 50 / month, no setup (or very small setup, like $ 20)
10Mbit/s or faster connection, 100GB traffic should do
500MHz CPU is all cool
512MB or more RAM
5GB diskspace is enough
Has to be in Europe due to ping times (< 100ms)
Linux, Debian 4.0 prefered
If anyone knows where I could get something like this for a low price, $ 30 to $ 50 USD, it'd be great.
I'm writing an inode and directory size counter, but hit a snag with directories that contain a space.
Simple code, finds all directories within a folder, sets the current directory:
for i in `find . -type d`; do ls $i; done
Looks correct? It works great, until you hit directories with spaces. So I try the following methods:
for i in `find . -type d|sed 's/ / /g'`; do ls $i; done
for i in `find . -type d|sed 's/ / /g'`; do ls "$i"; done
What is happening is, at the ( for i in ), it treats each item at the first break, if its
or a ' '. Is there a flag I can set to make it only use
? When I pipe the data, it sends each chunk of the directory through.
[root@home /home/mindbend/dev_html]# for i in `find . -type d|sed 's/ / /g'`; do ls $i; done

Issue exists on linux and freebsd, same code.
For research can someone tell me what is the average transfer ratio for a game server (ie Inbound vs Outbound)
So if a game server used 200GB outbound. How much Inbound would this equate to?
I am looking for a dedicated server to host a game server for Garry's Mod, (which can be VERY cpu intensive) I am having trouble, because my budget is limited to about $75 a month. Colocation is an option, but only if it is cheap (I have someone who will provide a server)
So far I have really considered: .......
I'm looking for a Colo provider for a 2u server in the Chicago area. I'll be running a game server that will host at least two 24 player servers, so I'm thinking I need a 10Mb unmetered connection.
Ideally, I'd like to get it at $100/mo, but I understand that may be unlikely.
Is there a script or program which I can use to start my game servers remotely? I am giving my friend a free game server, but the problem is that he wants the power to start/stop the server because he wants to update the binaries. I am not looking for a game server control panel, but more like a small script or program that has the power to start/stop the server. The game server I am hosting for him is Team Fortress 2. Also, it has to be free since I am not going to make any profit of this.
Game - Team Fortress 2
OS - Windows 2003 Server
Web hosting - WAMP
Anyway, does anybody know a VPS where I can run game servers such as Counter Strike, BHD etc...?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm currently in the process of installing a mysql database server on my dedicated game server box. I was using shared hosting before, but i got a complaint from them that i was using too many connections and memory so i have to host the database myself.
Here's the stats of the server:
Dual Core Dual CPU Intel Xeon 3.0Ghz (2 core per cpu & 2 cpu's)
4GB RAM
120GB SATAII Hard Drive
Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 (180 Day Trial)
Currently, im hosting around 10 game servers on the machine with around 30% CPU load. I'm running with the page file disabled (its using 2 GB of RAM instead). Server runs fine like this (i heard its a performance boost, and it is). Over 2GB of ram are free at all times even when most of the game servers are full.
I want the database server to be able to as many connections are need from the game servers but at the same time i dont want to affect performance of the game servers. Any suggestions on what settings i should use?
I'm currently using these settings:
key_buffer = 512M
max_allowed_packet = 1M
table_cache = 512
sort_buffer_size = 1M
net_buffer_length = 8K
read_buffer_size = 256K
read_rnd_buffer_size = 512K
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 16M
max_connections = 100
query_cache_size = 128MB
query_cache_limit = 4MB
tmp_table_size = 30MB
wait_timeout = 120
P.S. The SQL will have 3 databases (AMXBans, SourceBans, & a RP character db). Everytime a player connects to one of my servers, their information is checked against the database if they are an admin. So in total i have around 126 slots for players to connect on.
My server show disk full.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering wether it would work to host a 40 players source server on the following VPS I am about to get
dual quad xeon
30Mbps
300gb monthly transfer
1024mb ram
OS:
CentOS
Fedora Core
Ubuntu
Gentoo
Slackware
Debian
I guess the 30mbps speed is fine but will the 300gb be enough and what about the RAM?
Which OS would be the best for game hosting and for someone that's new to linux?
I run my own Game Server Provider, and I am looking to expand to new a new centralized area.
I am thinking about Texas colocation. Does anyone know any good colo facilities in Texas, with affordable rates.
Server Size is a Full Size Tower
Bandwidth: 1mbps sustained, Peak 5 mbps (during peak hours: 8pm-10pm). I would imagine this server would use around 700 GB of traffic per month.
This is serious, please do not find the thread as SPAM, waste of time, or useless. I'm doing my research while at it.
Current Provider: ThePlanet
CPU: Dual Core 3.2GHz (seeking 2.8GHz Dual Core or better)
Memory: 1GB (seeking 1GB or more or better; unknown technical specs)
Harddrives: 400GB Harddrive (seeking 400GB or more or better)
Cost: ~$320/month (seeking at this price or cheaper)
Bandwidth: 1500GB @ 100Mbps (seeking more than 1500GB, but @ 100Mbps)
So help me find providers other than ThePlanet (good hosting, but not good enough to help advance the webhosting business through over-selling). I am seeking for specs at, around, or close to the ones I gave above (monthly fee also). Reliability is a very important factor!
