Having troubles with Linux server

[Fornicator]

Hi... Here's my case...

When I follow the directions on how to extract the file from the server through telnet I get the error

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors


However, when I extract it on my windows box, and upload it from there, I get...

Segmation fault <core dumped>

Does anybody have an explanation/solution for this? Thx

[Fornicator]

Ok, I've figured that out... Uploaded in ASCII format (DOH!)

But now, when I try and execute the file, I get an error when trying to open source socket. Comments on this? =P

[BIGDADDY]

what does the specific error say?

I also had the same problem....unable to open source socket. I think there's something wrong with the sc_serv.conf file....because if you do something like this:

./sc_serv --help

it will not recognize the --help (of course) and it will revert to "default" which bypasses loading of a .conf file and all default options will be selected, and it will run.

So....there's something screwy in the formatting of the .conf file....perhaps it has some ^M's in there from winblows formatting.

Try making a new .conf file with the options in there that you want, and see what happens.

Actually, I've figured it out after playing with the conf file for a while.

It was the port. I'm not sure why the port was being used (according to my server admin, it wasn't... =P), but just change the port a few times until you can find an open one.

[sidrew]

Yeah,

What I did was create a new sc_serv.conf with just the options I wanted to change, since everything else in the default sc_serv.conf is used by default...worked like a champ.

Take care.
