Debian Lenny TSDM Setup

[Stinglock]

Um, if this isn't needed feel free to delete this, but I had a few problems getting TSDM working following the various guides and methods. If anyone has a better method of getting this setup feel free to drop it below, I'm not a big linux user myself.

I had problems using mono from sourceforge due to it not supporting i386 or something, tried creating an environment and rah rah rah had no luck over and over again. Eventually I did some deeper googling and found out how to manually compile it which seemed to provide joy, I used the guide from http://developer.mindtouch.com/en/docs/mindtouch_setup/010Installation/020Installing_on_Debian/Installing%2F%2FUpgrading_Mono_on_Debian and then just typed

Code: [Select]

mono Terraria_Server.exe and she worked.

First up I created a folder called terriaria and went into it.
Then did a

Code: [Select]

wget http://kangaroo.olympus-gaming.net/Terraria_Server.exeAnd set the permissions as the other guide

Code: [Select]

chmod a+x Terraria_Server.exe
From here I had to do some extra steps.

Code: [Select]

apt-get update
apt-get install gcc libtool bison pkg-config libglib2.0-dev gettext make bzip2 g++

wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono/mono-2.10.2.tar.bz2
tar xvjf mono-2.10.2.tar.bz2
cd mono-2.10.2
./configure --prefix=/opt/mono-2.10

# this might take 30-60 minutes
make
make install

cd /usr/bin
mv mono mono.old
mv gmcs gmcs.old
ln -s /opt/mono-2.10/bin/mono /usr/bin/mono
ln -s /opt/mono-2.10/bin/gmcs  /usr/bin/gmcs
EDIT:
That mv gmcs gmcs.old failed but still worked for me.

Also, I've to stop the session from ending and the terraria server existing when you logout of a putty/ssh session without scripts get screen.

Code: [Select]

apt-get install screen (might already be installed)
and then you can run with

Code: [Select]

screen mono Terraria_Sever.exeAnd close your putty session.

Google  up or do a man screen if you need to know how to switch back to it or whatever.

Debian Lenny?  Why didn't you just do apt-get install mono-complete?  That would have installed 2.6.7 on your machine.

[Stinglock]

Yeah, debian lenny, I put it int he subject line as the was the OS i was installing it on.

Why? I had problems setting it up and I'm not a big linux user myself and this was what I got working.

EDIT:
Also

E: Couldn't find package mono-complete

comes up, what to do when the package doesn't exist?

To put it simply, if that had've worked I'd not have to do this.
Pretty much every guide just says apt-get install mono or some variation, none of them worked for me, and this was what I did get working after trying to add packages and sources for this application to aptitude or whatever it's called, not to mention the errrors I got with i386 versions when trying to load it manually.

Try that guide .

[Stinglock]

I did. That's what worked for me, I linked to the exact same url in the first post. That page is what helped me get it running, I though I'd share it.

Anyways, it's

Code: [Select]

screen -R to reconnect to the detached session later, and

Code: [Select]

screen -list to view the screens your running.

Hi, i cant run TDSM on Debian.
I have done this:

apt-get update
apt-get install gcc libtool bison pkg-config libglib2.0-dev gettext make bzip2 g++

wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono/mono-2.10.2.tar.bz2
tar xvjf mono-2.10.2.tar.bz2
cd mono-2.10.2
./configure --prefix=/opt/mono-2.10

# this might take 30-60 minutes
make
make install

cd /usr/bin
mv mono mono.old
mv gmcs gmcs.old
ln -s /opt/mono-2.10/bin/mono /usr/bin/mono
ln -s /opt/mono-2.10/bin/gmcs  /usr/bin/gmcs

then i checked if mono is ok - mono --version - it was ok.

So i compiled TDSM 1.0.6.1 in my Visual Studio and downloaded it in Debian:

wget http://someurl.cz/Terraria_Server.exe

and tried to run it.

mono ./Terraria_Server.exe

It started normaly loading server but then it failed with this message:


08/19/2011 10:11:46 Main> Resetting game objects: done in 2.252s.

Native stacktrace:


Debug info from gdb:


=================================================================
Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries
used by your application.

What can i do please?

What can i do please?

Get more RAM probably.
If it's not an issue with mono running out of RAM, then it's a bug in mono, you could try 2.10.4.

[Toneks]

Thanks - my server has only 256 RAM and 256 swap and it wasn't enought for large map. So i choosed small map and it works

[D1G1T4L3CH0]

I'm able to run a medium world with 196mb of ram. it uses it all and about 15mb of swap, but it works.

[Malkierian]

I get this problem, only with a different error message, on CentOS, and I have over 10 GB of memory available to me.  Goes something like this:

Main> Issue parsing console command: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object   at Terraria_Server.Program.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0  08/19/2011 07:02:34 Main> Log message repeated 132126 times

That repeats over and over again for 5-10 minutes, then this happens:

http://pastie.org/2395116

[D1G1T4L3CH0]

Confirmed. I just installed Debian on a real machine, previously I was using a virtual machine and it was working fine, but Now I'm thinking that didn't even have b31. This happens weather I attempt to load a pre-existing world or generate a new one.

Edit: I just confirmed the version of TDSM in the VM is the current version and it's working perfectly. I'm not sure what I did differently on the VM.

[Malkierian]

Post your server.properties file, within code tags, please.

[Malkierian]

Server.properties is in your TDSM folder, not your mono folder

[Malkierian]

Thanks,i installed the server on vps ,but how do i connect now?

Server.properties is in your TDSM folder, not your mono folder

Oh,so i should downolad TSDM mod from here ,and copy to vps files with WinSCP or so? 

[Malkierian]

My point is that you said you had already installed the server, and then you ask if you should download the server to install it...  Make up your mind.
