Does anyone use Ubuntu VPS from here and got GHost++ working

[senkin]

I cannot get mine to connect. I compile it and it runs, but after it resolves useast.battle.net it times out. I can connect to a PVPGN with no issues at all.

http://codelain.com/ = GHost++ area. Has to do with Warcraft III game hosting. Uses any port I want and connects to battle.net on 6112.

I'm not familiar with this myself. Have you tried it with another version of Linux such as CentOS? If it works with one, we should be able to get it working with the other.

I have issues learning how to install boost on CentOS which is my only crutch with that OS. As for Gentoo I don't know how to use.

Here is the things needed to install in Ubuntu to get GHost++ working. I used apt-get.

zip openssl build-essential libxt-dev libxaw7-dev libgmp3-dev libbz2-dev libmysql++-dev libboost-all-dev subversion ncurses-dev pure-ftpd mysql-client mysql-server apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql php5-curl php5-gd php5-idn php-pear php5-imagick php5-imap php5-mcrypt php5-memcache php5-mhash php5-ming php5-ps php5-pspell php5-recode php5-snmp php5-sqlite php5-tidy php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl php5-json

Now I am sure that YUM has many of these, but I could not find them all easily with it. If anyone trustworthy here has CentOS experience and would be willing to help me try getting it working I will give root access.

We can also look at this from another angle. Before it tries to connect to the external host, open another SSH window and enter this command:

tcpdump

That will print out some basic messages about the traffic going back and forth. Start up the server, then watch that output to see if it really is contacting the other host, and whether the host is replying.

Also, would something like this happen if the IP were blocked from their service?

My gosh, thanks that sounds like the command I needed to debug! I got things like that on Windows, but when I "dive" in to Linux I have things I still need to memorize.

I would be very surprised if that IP is blocked since I just been given it and all. Also if I was banned I would connect, but then it would kick me out instantly after.
