SteamCMD Issues.

[Kenrin]

So, after my last post of having no success with CentOS 7. I switched over to Ubuntu 12.04. There was a few bugs to work out with the TCadmin Template for Gmod but I'm still getting errors when I try to update a server.

 

From what I have been reading it is due to a permissions issue. Even if I try to 777 all the TCadmin directories (I know I shouldn't but I just want it to work) Tcadmin defaults back to the standard permissions. Any ideas?

Did you install all of the dependencies, including the 32-bit ones?

[Kenrin]

I installed the lib32gcc1 and the ia32-libs.

 

I even replaced steamcmd that came with tcadmin with a fresh one after deleting the directory.

 

Is there some automation script that would cause these errors?

 

 

-edit : I didn't mention this before, but the garrysmod template is completely not up to date. it still has the -beta flag listed but I'm sure I fixed all of that mess.

[Dennis]

Try using the Linux alternative.

EDIT: Just noticed that the site is down...

[Kenrin]

I'm still getting the buildbot discarding data things but it finally said app state 4020 updated!

 

For some reason the users directory was owned by root and not by tcagame...

 

I think it had to do with the templates I had to completely re-do.

 

Now I have to wait on my Devs to upload their files and verify if the server actually works

[Kenrin]

So I did not fix it, this is driving me crazy. I never had these issues on CentOS.

 

Can anyone running a Debian based system let me know what permissions are running on /home/tcagame + subfolders

 

Apparently RWX permissions to tcagame aren't enough.

[Kenrin]

I just realized I never did update this with the solution. I might as well if anyone decides to search this post.

 

You have to set the steam update to execute as the services user, not as tcagame. There is a little checkbox I missed when setting up a few templates. I knew it had to be a dumb error but I had to contact tcadmin support to figure it out.
