Server Server won't start..

[furiify]

Hi,

so I just installed a KF2 Server on my Debian Jessie 64bit system using THIS tutorial.

I edited the batch file to

./Binaries/Win64/KFGameSteamServer.bin.x86_64 kf-bioticslab

just as mentioned in the tutorial.

Starting the KF2Server.bat gives me following output:

I already tried to edit ports within the /KFGame/Config/LinuxServer_KFEngine.ini, but that didn't help either. What am I missing? I appreciate any kind of help, thanks in advice.

Uhh, what?.. You're starting a windows batch file in Linux? That's not what the Wiki tells you to do. Sure, Linux won't care since you changed the text inside of it. But before you try to use a script (which can cause issues because of directories, execution permissions and wrong shell) better try to launch it from command line first.

Try to launch it directly, like in the Wiki:

./Binaries/Win64/KFGameSteamServer.bin.x86_64 kf-bioticslab

If this fails or crashes have a look at the log. Hopefully there is more information on the crash.

You could also try to start it with

& ./Binaries/Win64/KFGameSteamServer.bin.x86_64 kf-bioticslab

instead, to make it start in the background, in case your console was sending abort signals (like for instance with Ctrl+C).

When that works you can make a KF2-Start.sh or add a service so you won't have to type the whole path next time.
