what you need is probably a linux server with ssh access.
Alternatively a windows server with terminal services.

If you dont have that, and dont know how to get it, i think this task is a little beyond your capabilities at this moment in time.

I have a Linux Server, and ssh access.
Now how do I go about this task?
Thanks for all your help.:D
Also, when i try to download the server pak from the main site , I get the zip but am unable to open as it says
"Error reading Header after proccessing 0 entries."

download the linux server, unzip it with tar, (tar -xjf ts2_server_rc1_2018.tar.bz2) go to that dir anr run it using the minimal start script. Its that easy. You might want to run it as a different user though. I leave that up to you. Don't run it as root :)

No i can't. This is the simplest i can explain it.

Try to follow my instructions, tell me where you have problems.

Downloading should not be a problem, i told you how to unpack it, and starting the startscript is as easy as typing the scriptname in your commandprompt.

I have a couple things..
I belive the file on the main page that is listed for Linux is really a win file.

I now have some error I am sure you have seen before and can help me out.
Thanks again for your help. Here we go, Errors 1 & 2.
Error 1 (http://www.ironskies.net/images/file wont run other files required on linux server.jpg)

Error 2 (http://www.ironskies.net/images/Bad file.jpg)

lol new to linux i bet :)

on error 1 you are on the right track.
But linux has an anti trojan feature. You can only execute programs or scripts if they are in predefined paths (like /bin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin etc etc) or if you give an absolute path

in your case you can try all of the following:
sh tss.minimal_startscript (to execute this via the sh shell. sh is in /bin)

./tss.minimal_startscript (give "whole" path. You expicitly say you want to run tss.minimal_startscript from this dir.

/path/to/tss/tss.minimal_startscript (absolute path)


as for the 2nd error.. you are trying to run the windows installer on linux.. looool

Well long day and no luck.
This is what I have now...lol
Problem 1 & 2
Plus I think I must open "TCP port 8766 and UDP port 8767" Right?

Prob 1 (http://www.ironskies.net/images/TS2 Service running on Iron Skies.jpg)

Prob 2 (http://www.ironskies.net/images/Server.jpg)

Please tell me I messed up some how and this is an easy fix. My web host provider will not open these ports for security reasons.
Thanks
Ivan
