yeah at first i didnt chmod the entire directory but i faced a few problems here and there with the server not being able to write/delete files. may be just my end but it fixed my probem and thats why i just went with it.
i also thought about making usergroups but i wanted it to be as simple as possible for the user. a script that creates a group or account just confuses everyone. i mean people have trouble with just everything.
a script that makes stuff simpler but creates confusion on other things doesnt really help ^^
@BlackLife@MeLikeToast i havent done updates in months. i am also not really active in fivem anymore as i have way more important stuff to do. dont expect help or a fix soon
Everytime I try to start the server it says âServer successfully startedâ then I go to show console and it says âServer is not running.â Any ideas?
The FX file downloader is broken because fivem added a folder called revoked. The downloader now doesnt recognize the FX files.
You can download the files manually from the artifacts Server and unpack into the fxdata folder in your Server.
Thereâs a learning curve but once youâve used the shell a little bit, it wonât be so daunting and GUI frontends wonât feel so necessary to you.
Did you see my post in the topic directed to someone else having a similar issue?
It was caused by the OS not having screen installed. If your issue is caused by the same problem, you can open a terminal and install it with âsudo apt-get install screen -yâ or if youâre shelling in as root, just remove the sudo âapt-get install screen -yâ.
yeah I think Iâm logging in as root⌠whenever I open putty it says logon as and I always put Root. This might a bit over my head at this point⌠lol
what you also can do (or have probably have to with fx data installing afterwards - i forgot to tell you) is chmodding the directory and make the files executable.
that means:
sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/your/installation/
chmod 777 is the maximum you can give and most of the time only +x (write rights are needed). my script sets it to 777 anyway so i suggest you do the same.
also, like schwim said. if you fiddle around with it (the teminal) you will get used to it and a gui becomes just annoying. besides from slowing your work process down it also lowers your performance. its not much but it does.
Yeah this is kind of over my head⌠Iâll just install manually.
This is kind of an off-topic question, and I donât mean to take over your thread, but is it possible if I installed a RDP program on my Linux, if I could make like a file on the desktop to execute the server? Like similar to what a .bat file does in windows, but make a file execute the bash command to start fx server? As it is now on my other server I literally have to go to the âHow to install fivem on linux threadâ to get that command lmao.
You should be able to create a file to start your server. It really only consists of two lines.
#!/bin/bash
cd /path/to/server-data
../run.sh
Name that file something like âfivemstart.shâ then execute that file by visiting the location of that file and executing it.
The first line needs to put your current directory(cd) as the directory where server.cfg resides. The second command is telling the script to move up to the parent directory(the âŚ) then executes run.sh
You can also run these two commands yourself at any time in the shell and it should get your server running.
