Can't untar TS2 server

miasmal · #1 31-08-2002, 22:58

Am I missing something here?

$ tar -xvf ts2_server_rc1.tar.tar
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: 413 garbage bytes ignored at end of archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I have downloaded the file via binary mode.
I tried various links on the site to download the Linux server ... all of them comes up with the filename "ts2_server_rc1.tar.tar." File size is 288669.

Is this compressed with some other format?

It was originally offered as a tar.bz2 file. You need bzip2 to unpack it. tar will automatically invoke bzip2 if you use the "j" flag:

tar xvfj ts2_server_rc1.tar.bz2

Yah, I thought the extension .tar.tar was funny. I renamed it to .tar.bz2 and then bunzip2'ed it, then I was able to untar.

You might want to change the filename extension to something other than '.tar.tar.'
