Issue running Garry's Mod server CentOS 7.1

[Abtaminto]

When attempting to run my Garry's Mod server with CentOS 7.1 I've been getting an error and not being able to connect to it.

This is what happens when I run the server by typing "sudo ./srcds_run -game garrysmod +maxplayers 8 +map gm_construct" after the "sudo screen -S Gmod" part.

Code: Select all

[root@nylestinks ~]# cd gmod
[root@nylestinks gmod]# sudo screen -S Gmod
with error:

Thank you for the help in advance!

You shouldn't be running the gmod server as root with sudo.

Run iptables -L and post the output.

CentOS isn't really recommended for running game servers. Debian and its variants provide higher performance.

In that case I believe I'm going to just install Debian and then work my way from there.

Thank you for the help!

My pleasure. If you need help with anything on Debian, please ask!

Probably an idiot mistake on my part but I've been following to SteamCMD wiki guide on setting up SteamCMD and I've got this issue:

Code: Select all

steam@nylestinks:~/steamcmd$ ls
linux32  steamcmd_linux.tar.gz  steamcmd.sh  steam.sh
steam@nylestinks:~/steamcmd$ ./steamcmd.sh
./steamcmd.sh: line 29: /home/steam/steamcmd/linux32/steamcmd: No such file or directory

Have you ran "sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1" yet?
