yes im logged in as r00t so i know its not that

Your problem is it is Linux.

umm no

Doc, your love for Windows is showing...

I love Linux for web hosting but for game servers you need Windows due to the limitation of most games not being available for Linux. Also, there is a crash bug for BF2 in Linux that was never addressed.

Umm Yes, BF2/2142 have massive issues on Linux they don't have Windows. Problem is EA coding for Linux but it doesn't change the fact.

cat /etc/fstab

post the output here.

Also.....are you using the /bin/bash shell or /bin/sh?

its possible your using the /bin/bash shell(pretty common), and the installer is trying to use the /bin/sh shell?

might also try.

chmod +x bf2-linuxded-1.1.29*

Then try running the installer.

are you using the /bin/bash shell or /bin/sh?

HOW WOULD I KNOW?

have you tried the chmod +x command on your install file?

does your shell prompt look like this:

[root@yourserver server]:

or like this


SH-3.00#

?

yes i tried that : {

Try re-downloading the file? lol

Where is the file right now?

I.e...

/home/download

/root
??

[root@jet1 ~]# cd /bf2
[root@jet1 bf2]#



re download?? why lol ive already done that.. but i chmodded it before then did chmod +x

Could be a bad download maybe...lol

Wouldn't hurt to try.

didnt work

Don't think this will work, but download this:

http://www.webmesto.net/bf2-test/bf2-linux....0-installer.sh

This is the same file you have, but I modified it to run under /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh

It might not make any difference at all, but its worth a shot right? lol

didnt work the dude : [

Every time I've run into this, it has been becasue the cdrom is mounted with the noexec option. Check out your /etc/fstab and see if it's there. Removing the option does wonders for the LabVIEW installation. Also avoids the need to copy the disk. Probably has some negative impact on security, but I've never really worried about that.


i got that from somewhere.. dunno if it works with bf2 and i dont know hwo to do that help! :[

That sucks....

Do this and let me know the output

ls -l /bin/sh

[root@jet1 bf2]# ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Dec 18 07:37 /bin/sh -> bash
[root@jet1 bf2]#

Your CD-ROM is not mounted with the noexec option...so thats probably not the case.

The BF2 installer uses the /tmp directory for a temp location...its possible it might be a problem witht he permissions in the /tmp directory.

so how can i fix that?

Re-download the link I gave you again, and re-run the installer.

I changed the temp directory it uses to use a different directory. Specifically to use /home instead of /tmp

omfg thanks it works now.. XD

Sweet.

Guess it was a issue with your /tmp directory
