Some commands not working
Hey! I was trying for the first time your project and some commands were not working for me, for example:
pzserver@h3010054:~$ pzserver stop
ERROR: ioctl failed: Operation not permitted
pzserver@h3010054:~$ pzserver message
Usage: /usr/local/bin/pzmessage message...
pzserver@h3010054:~$ pzserver message Test
ERROR: ioctl failed: Operation not permitted
pzserver@h3010054:~$ pzserver command test
ERROR: ioctl failed: Operation not permitted
pzserver@h3010054:~$ pzserver command save
ERROR: ioctl failed: Operation not permitted
pzserver@h3010054:~$ pzserver quit
ERROR: ioctl failed: Operation not permitted
pzserver restart is also not working as well, just give me back an "OK" but no restart. This is the log:
2023-06-01 18:14:52 PZRestarterJob pzserver: Restart job started (delay: 0, restart_sequence: [5, 2, 1])
2023-06-01 18:14:52 PZRestarterJob pzserver: Sending message: Restarting server in 5 minutes. Find a safe place to hide for restart!
2023-06-01 18:17:52 PZRestarterJob pzserver: Sending message: Restarting server in 2 minutes. Find a safe place to hide for restart!
2023-06-01 18:18:52 PZRestarterJob pzserver: Sending message: Restarting server in 1 minute. Find a safe place to hide for restart!
2023-06-01 18:19:52 PZRestarterJob pzserver: Restarting now!
I was online, but there were no messages nor restart
This is my distro:
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="20.04.6 LTS (Focal Fossa)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS"
VERSION_ID="20.04"
Do I need to do something else or missed something maybe?
Update: using RCON directly I can save/close the server (I'm not sure if you are using the same way with thhe scripts)
Waiting commands for 127.0.0.1:27015 (or type :q to exit)
> save

@quarantin here is my kernel info:
Linux HOST 5.4.0 #1 SMP Thu Dec 15 20:31:06 MSK 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Hi, can you install strace (from an account with sudo access, for example pzstadmin):
sudo apt install strace
Run the following command as your pzserver user while the pz server is online and accepting players:
strace -f pzserver stop 2> /tmp/strace.log
Post the file /tmp/strace.log here.
Also it seems your kernel is not from Ubuntu, because the version should be something like: 5.4.0-148-generic
I didn't changed the kernel, was the one available from the host installation.
Thanks I'll investigate. Can you also run pzdebug and post the resulting file here?
I don't see any problem in the logs, except the permission denied for the call to TIOCSTI IOCTL, which probably means that it's been disabled in your kernel by your hosting provider :/ Who's your hosting provider?
Hum, unfortunately I don't read German :sweat_smile: Do they let you install custom OS from an ISO image? If no do they let you install custom kernels?
I sent them a message now, let's hope that they allow me to install a custom ISO.
I will post the update here as soon as I get it.
Damn, not sure why I read "strado" :joy: Do you have a VPS or dedicated server?
It's a dedicated server
I believe this is good news. Most dedicated server hosting providers let you install an OS from an ISO image .
FYI this is the ISO image I'm using for testing pzst: https://releases.ubuntu.com/focal/ubuntu-20.04.6-live-server-amd64.iso
Linux HOST 5.4.0 SMP Thu Dec 15 20:31:06 MSK 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
That looks like an Amazon MSK image, an docker service. I don't know how your provider managed to obtain a docker image off a cloud provider to run on their hardware. Or perhaps your provider is reselling a docker and repackaged it as dedicated server which sounds really shady. It is unlikely you can get TIOCSTI on a container as it is considered a security vulnerability, especially you don't own the docker. You should start looking for another provider, not only because it disallow TIOCSTI but shady for potentially running a docker as dedicated server service.
