Help - simple install on Linux Server

[Bear_with_Hat]

This is supposed to be a simple server for friends without mods or admin tools.

VPS

OS: Ubuntu 19.04 (64-bit)

Processor: 8 Cores Intel® Xeon® E5-2630v4

Memory: 30 GB RAM

Hard Drive: 400 GB available space

steamcmd is installed

-> mkdir 7days

-> /home/steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +login user password +force_install_dir /home/steam/7days +app_update 294420 validate +quit

-> nano start_7days.sh

./7DaysToDieServer.x86_64 -configfile=serverconfig.xml -logfile 7DaysToDie_Data/output_log.txt $@

-> chmod a+x start_7days.sh

-> nano serverconfig.xml

I use this settings -> https://pastebin.com/mwAyrmHp

I take my Map form ...\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\Saves and load in this Folder -> .../.local/share/7DaysToDie/Saves

than

-> screen -S 7days

./start_7days.sh

In Alpha 17, that worked well.

Now "GameServer could not be initialized" and nobody can join the server.

What am I doing wrong?

Post the output log from the server.

Probably it is the steam-library again, seen this a few times whenever ubuntu was used as OS.

7D2D and ubuntu have or had a dispute where to look for steamclient.so . People fixed this through linking that library (which is to be found in the installation dir of 7D2D itself) to /usr/lib/ (if I remember correctly).

In your case the problem could also be that you rolled your own start-script. Maybe use "startserver.sh" in the installation dir, because that script has the line "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=." , which should normally get that library included.

But check the error log.
