<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have run COD/CODUO on RedHat Fedora 3 &
4 as well as AS 3 & 4, with as many as 4 servers per machine (CRD's Free
Servers). When you install the operating system make sure that gcc and ALL of
the perl modules are installed. Mostly make sure your system has a min of
512megs memory per server that you run and that your upload speed is at least
25-35 k per connected player.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Before you start:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Firewall for your server should block all but the
most important ports. For COD you must open the following tcp ports 28960, add
one port for each server you will run. 3 servers would be ports
28960,28961,28962.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Make sure your linux box is seeing the internet and
it can be pinged by a local machine. And this assumes that you have X-Windows on
the linux box. If not then you will have to complete the following steps from a
command prompt.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you are running a firewall then forward those
ports ONLY to the linux box. When the ports are forwarded you will not have a
server list in the user machine, except the local server, if you only have one
public ip address.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Multi-homed servers have been unreliable in
starting servers on the wrong nic's. I gave up and desided to just add an
additional server to provide firewalling.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Things to do:</FONT></DIV>
<OL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Create the users that will run the servers:
coduo1, coduo2, etc. Linux command (useradd coduo1). Do not run server as a
root or superuser user. </FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Set there passwords (passwd coduo1password)</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Make a directory for each of the servers you will
run (mkdir callofduty1) on the root of the drive. (chmod 777) for the user
made earlier.</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Download the large package, don't screw with
the little one( Version 1.51), <!--StartFragment --><FONT

size=2><A
href="http://0day.icculus.org/cod/">http://0day.icculus.org/cod/</A> and
save it to the /callofduty1 directory, and expand it. </FONT></FONT></FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Copy the contents of your Callofduty CD's Disk#1
setup/data directory to /callofduty1 directory you made earlier.</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Copy the contents of your Callofduty CD's Disk#2
setup/data/uo to the /callofduty1/uo directory.</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>To test install Open a Terminal Window & type
the following commands:</FONT></LI></OL>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
cd ..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
cd callofduty1</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(When it stops type the following

href="http://www.noginn.tsohost.co.uk/codserver/" target=_blank><FONT

config file.</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Save it to the (see the dot)
/callofduty1/.callofduty/uo directory.</FONT></LI></OL></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Go to your desktop and open Remoteconsole in the
COD multi and put in the ipaddress and password of your server. Connect to the
server, if you can, your done with the first one. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To make additional servers copy the contents of
callofduty1 to the callofduty2 directory. The additional servers can be run by
hitting alt/F1, alt/F2, alt/F3 and logging in as the users created. Log in as
different users in each of the terminals. Then cd to the directory of the server
you want to start it. You can switch between servers by hitting alt & the
"F" key you want. It is best to not run these servers inside of XWindows. Also I
have found that if you run more then one server inside of Xwindows you can not
change the config's of your server independantly (change maps).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do not run your server as root. Login as the user
you created, rerun the server and then verify that your local machine can still
connect.</FONT></DIV>
