Creating a CFServer on Linux

[hoxu]

I suggest you either run the server in screen (1) or use the -detach parameter.

When I go to find my server in my client, its not there though....

ok, we have got it all figured out, except for one thing; we are trying to make the server secure, and we are using a firewall to do so. The only thing is, the firewall is making it so that noone else can join. Do we use TCP/UDP, just UDP, or just TCP? we have tryed several combinations, but none seem to want to work. I beleive that this will be the last problem too. I hope so at least.

The default port is TCP 13327 for client connection and optionaly - if you want to register with the (a?) metaserver that uses port 13326.
If your server is not on the metaserver and not local - you need to know the host name of your cf server and have to be able to resolve it from your client...

Or, you can specify the server in when launching the client via the command line, like so:

gcfclient -server <server_name or IP> -<options>

Example: gcfclient -server metalforge.real-time.com -cache

True, but what I meant is that you need to either know the IP of the server or be able to resolve the name (a host name record or DNS entry...).
