Setting up a Day of Defeat Source/Counter Strike Source dedicated server on Linux

17 Comments

Introduction
Even though there is some information on how to setup a dedicated server source server on a Linux based system the articles are often old or to generic for my liking. I have written this article to help other people setup a Day of Defeat source (DOD:S) server on a Ubuntu 8.04.1 system.

Downloading the software from steampowered.com
The first thing to do is to download the Source Dedicated Server from steampowered. So on the linux server I create a folder on the dod user account and download the binary with the following commands.

dod@dirac:~$ mkdir srcds_l
dod@dirac:~$ cd srcds_l

and afterwards Net banking was working.

WordPress
Der er gået et stykke tid siden at jeg havde opdateret WordPress og phpAlbum, så i dag tog jeg mig tiden til at lave en fuld backup og derefter opdatere begge systemer. Jeg brugte tidligere WordPress 2.1, men havde nogle små problemer som sammen med sikkerhedsaspektet gjorde det til en god ide at opgradere. Jeg bruger den danske oversættelse, som kan hentes på:

phpAlbum
phpalbum.png Jeg har en masse billeder fra Svalbard som jeg gerne vil vise folk. Til det bruger jeg www.phpalbum.net, som er et lille frit script som klare det meste for mig. Jeg lægger blot billederne op på serveren og så genere phpAlbum alle undersider og holder styre på kommentarer og den slags. For at kunne referere til en ekstern side fra statiske side WordPress bruger jeg plugin’et Redirectify.
