Linuxgsm: kf2 server missing file

[dementedusa]

just did an install of kf2 on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS. when I do the start command it fails to start and says this
[ OK ] Starting kf2server:
gameservers@s94535:~/kf2server$ ./kf2server details
fetching command_details.sh...OK
grep: /home/gameservers/kf2server/serverfiles/KFGame/Config/kf2server/KFWeb.ini: No such file or directory

Yes I have noticed this as well. I am not sure why this is happening currently. I didnt get this during tests. I will investigate and resolve

[dementedusa]

ok so I was messing around and trying things cause why not science. and created a KFWeb.ini file in the location it says it is not found and that stopped that error. But now it say
[ FAIL ] Starting kf2server: Unable to start NOT SET
so I am trying to google some info on how to fix and learn what the hell needs to be done

This error is LGSM related, check in info_config.sh :)

Same here, have had to manually create KFWeb.ini but still failing to launch.

I have figured out the issue.

All the config files are not present at first in KFGame/Config/ when downloading from SteamCMD.

To generate all required config files the server has to run without the ConfigSubDir= parm one time.

This creates all the required config files in the default location KFGame/Config/.

Once this is completed ConfigSubDir= can be added again and this will then copy all the newly generated config files to the KFGame/Config/kf2server directory.

This is really annoying and I will have to figure out the best way to do this. I may contact Tripwire to see if they can simply have the default configs in place in SteamCMD. Would save a lot of issues.

[dementedusa]

good luck on getting tripwire to do anything.. The only place I can find that line of code in is the kf2server/lgsm/config-lgsm/kf2server/_default.cfg Do I just copy the file into the common.cfg and delete it there, then start, then put it back in?

[dementedusa]

haha. that was correct. it worked. YAY

I'm still running into this issue no matter what I try :O am I missing something?

[dementedusa]

ok go to kf2server/lgsm/config-lgsm/kf2server/_default.cfg copy everything in that file and put it in /kf2server/lgsm/config-lgsm/kf2server/common.cfg search the file for ConfigSubDir= and remove ConfigSubDir= then restart the server. after that stop the server. then put ConfigSubDir= back in where you removed it. Hope this helps

[ExodiusUK]

Thank you so much :) that worked :)

[dgibbs64]

This fix will be in the next release
