I kinda screwed up my debian 7 wheezy server, i am going to have to reinstall it. If i backup the file in the db folder , and paste it back when i remake the server, will the people that played on the server still have their inventory? and by the way, how are servers restarted for fresh spawns of objects, without whiping player contents? (sorry if there is already a post on this ) by the way for anyone familiar with debian, i can only access the server through the servehosts terminal (nfoservers.com), putty gives a fatal error, and so does winscp, wont even let me connect ftp. but im hoping tommorow i can save some files from pz, so players can keep their stuff, while i fix my screwup thanks in advance. *edit* mainly please answer on if i can backup player files and how to reset the server spawns without deleting players items. thnx.

i havent set an admin pass or anything tho, where do i set this ? i cannot find info on this in the faq I mean in order to be able to use the commands in the ingame chat.. i need to login or something right?

oke, just wanted to say that it is running, thanks! now to the configuration post xD

You should run the game as the 'steam' user. The steam user should have a 'Zomboid' folder in it's home directory. You can get to it's home directory, by running this as it: cd ~/ The steam user must be able to write to it's files. Running the 'chown' command I specified as root should make sure it can. Ok, that helped, i made the Zomboid folder with the steam user. the only error i get now is the following. "Loading world... Unknown bind__() error -1.return code: 5" getting there.. wouldnt be without your help thnx.

Yes but i may have messed up on the zomboid folder , which it has to have ..where does this folder need to be,mine is in /steam/home ...far away from the serverlaunch file.

im redownloading/installing java, the first step, to see if maybe that fixes it . which let to the following error when running the server; steam@zomboid:~/steamcmd/home/steam2$ ./projectzomboid-dedi-server.shError occurred during initialization of VMCould not reserve enough space for object heap HURRRAAAA I AJUSTED THE RAM AND IT IS WORKINGGG !!!!! for now. thanks comunity <3 *edit* again.. i get a few errors, but it sais the server is running.. java.io.IOException: No such file or directory at java.io.UnixFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method) at java.io.File.createNewFile(File.java:900) at zombie.network.ServerOptions.initOptionsFile(ServerOptions.java:39) at zombie.network.ServerOptions.init(ServerOptions.java:34) at zombie.network.GameServer.startServer(GameServer.java:384) at zombie.network.GameServer.main(GameServer.java:132)return code: 0*** SERVER STARTED ****java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/steam/Zomboid/Sandbox/servertest/map_t.bin (No such file or directory) at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:209) at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:160) at zombie.network.ServerMap.preupdate(ServerMap.java:591) at zombie.network.GameServer.main(GameServer.java:172)Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at java.io.DataOutputStream.writeInt(DataOutputStream.java:197) at java.io.DataOutputStream.writeFloat(DataOutputStream.java:242) at zombie.GameTime.save(GameTime.java:1484) at zombie.network.ServerMap.preupdate(ServerMap.java:599) at zombie.network.GameServer.main(GameServer.java:172)... that bad ? Yeah im kinda stuck there again .

No, you *have* to have glibc version 2.15 or greater. Can you run: ls -l projectzomboid-dedi-server.shon the sh file, and let us know what it returns please? yes offcourse, here is the result. I am thinking of reinstalling it all since it is not in the root home folder, its kinda hidden. This shouldnt be a problem? Anyway, here is there result "root@zomboid:/home/steam/steamcmd/home/steam/projectzomboid# ls -l projectzomboid-dedi-server.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 850 Mar 3 22:58 projectzomboid-dedi-server.sh root@zomboid:/home/steam/steamcmd/home/steam/projectzomboid# " It looks like you've installed it as the root user! Here's some commands to fix that Run: chown -R steam:steam /home/steam/chmod 755 /home/steam/steamcmd/home/steam/projectzomboid/projectzomboid-dedi-server.shthen try running again, as the 'steam' user the first command seems to have worked but when i enter the second one, addapting it to my own url i get the following steam@zomboid:~/projectzomboid$ chmod 755 /home/steam/steamcmd/home/steam2/projectzomboid/projectzomboid-dedi-server.shchmod: changing permissions of `/home/steam/steamcmd/home/steam2/projectzomboid/projectzomboid-dedi-server.sh': Operation not permitted---alsow i have put the db folder inside /home/steam/steamcmd/home/steam2/projectzomboid/ manually as it was in the "Zomboid" folder somwhere else... should i do the same with the "db" folder? -- really apreciate the help *edit* when i am logged in as root i can run the "chmod 755 /home/steam/steamcmd/home/steam2/projectzomboid/projectzomboid-dedi-server.sh" but it doesnt show any response tho. BUT when i try to run the server with the "steam" user i get the following errors: steam@zomboid:~/steamcmd/home/steam2$ ./projectzomboid-dedi-server.sh./projectzomboid-dedi-server.sh: line 18: java: command not found *edit*edit*

oke, so i reinstalled the os and started from scratch but i still get the same issue "permission denied" on trying to run the server . Alsow my serverside steam doesnt have /steamapps/common i am not sure if the serverfile is suposed to be inside the project zomboid folder? or in the indicated Zomboid folder as indicated in the tutorial, with the server.hs and the db folder. about that db folder, i dont get it "Now reconnect WinSCP and go download this empty db file: https://dl.dropboxus...553835/world.db " oke i did that but, its not explained where to extract this file , so ive put it inside the zomboid folder that contains the server sh.. ( i have tried pasting the server.sh file in to the steam gamefolder, where the rest of the game files are and i still get the permission denied thing, nomatter where i run it from ) i hope i explained myself well, and thanks in advance. maybe this will help to detect my mistakes:
