Server Error while updating Linux server

[Mellnik]

I did the same as usually:
1. STEAMEXE=steamcmd ./steam.sh
2. steam login
3. force install dir
4. app_update 215360 validate

NOTE: First time it says that the steam folder isnt allowed to be in the game install directory. Or someting like that.
So I made a new user and tried it.

Im on Ubuntu 10.04

output:

Steam>app_update 215360 validate

So I made a new user and tried it.

Does the account you created have write access to where you are trying to download/install?

force_install_dir /root/kf
Please set the game install path to something other than the Steam install folder

Can you make a root/kf/server directory and then update your config.txt to point to there?

And just a random note, it's really not ideal to be running the server as root unless you're just running the install as root.

This. Even running the install as root could pose permissions problems for the user you're going to be running the server as; since everything will most likely be owned by root.

Create a new user on the Linux server and use it.

All these problems appear to be permissions issues.

updating from user home dir solved that problem for me.

 

[jigglywiggly]

what do you mean updating from the home directory?

Update what exactly
