- Another server nabbing the port
- A bad mod / addon
- a bad map rotation
In fact, one of the first things to check is probably the third.
HTH!

Subject: [cod] CoD4 Server Errors... Can't find problem
Hello I am currently having some problems with one of my clients CoD4 =
Servers, and can't seem to work out what's causing them.
Our actual server has not been offline once within this time, but CoD4 =
is going into Zombie state.
My client has provided me with the following information:
[Quote]
I can start the server manually from SSH via nohup and via a shell =
script.=20
- The server goes down often, randomly ranging between a few hours to =
a couple of days since starting it up.
- Sometimes the server goes down within a few minutes of starting.
- The server never goes down while we are playing on it (strange).
- I wrote a simple shellscript that checks if the server process is =
running and start it if it isnt. I added this script to my crontab, but =
I have not found evidence of this setup working for me.
- Sometimes the gameserver stops accepting connections (i.e. rcon =
reports the server as 'down'), but the process is still running. I =
incorporated a python rcon script into my checksv script to kill and =
restart the gameserver if it is in this 'zombie' state. Im not sure if I =
can actually start the gameserver from a script that is called by cron.

Would appreciate any help any one can give me
Thanks in advance
