Hey,

 

I have a VPS with CentOS installed on it, but there is no tut for it, and if I try to follow any other linux server tuts, there are some commands I miss/can't be recognised.

Can someone please send me a text tutorial or add me on skype: hubert.hoeve.

 

Kind regards,

Kerbz.

Hi,

 

As I dont know your exact problem, here are some tips:

on CentOS you'll need to use yum instead of apt-get to install packages.

Try to download and install wine from http://pkgs.repoforge.org/wine/ since installing the dependencies isnt as easy as it is on debian based distros.

Thank you very much.

I will try that later. Especially the yum I needed.

Also wha is "mono" on centos?

 

If I have any further questions I will reply to this forum

Seems that mono isnt in the repository, so you'll need to compile it from the source.

This looks like a good tutorial: http://wiki.phonicuk.com/Installing-Mono-in-CentOS-5-x.ashx

Hey Woofy,

 

This time I already got much further, bu now I am stuck at installing the building dependencies of wine, cuz when I use

"yum build-dep wine"

is says

"Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

No such command: build-dep. Please use /usr/bin/yum --help"

 

And also when I try to compile it and I do "cd /usr/src/wine-1.5.9" and following "./configure" it says " Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries."

,and after that I try "make" it says "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop."

and "make install" gives "make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop."

 

Could you please help me further!!

 

Kind regards

Kerbz,

 

BTW, I used this forum http://fourdeltaone.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4618&hilit=linux+server+linux+dedicated+server as a tut.

Hi,

the build-dep equivalent is called yum-builddep. You'll need to install yum-utils to use it. However, its not gonna work since wine isnt in the repositories of CentOS. So you should either try installing wine from the link I posted earlier or install the dependencies manually (This list might work: http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Pack ... be699dd3f0).

I tried to understand what to do, but I am not sure at what "step" I am, and what I have to do now.

 

Is it maybe possible to write me a text tutorial like http://fourdeltaone.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4618&hilit=linux+server+linux+dedicated+server?

This way it is easier for me to understand what you want me to do, and which commands work and which won't, also with the alternative way of installing wine and its dependencies.

 

I am sooo sorry for being such a newb, but I really hope you want to take the time to help me!! <3

It would be just so f_cking awesome if I could have my own server, and even understand linux/Centos a bit

 

I have a few more questions: how much ram does a server need, when only like max. 5 people are playing?

How do I uninstall all the things I have installed in the tutorial above, so I won't get any errors because of double installations or such....

And also, do you have skype, maybe we could call some time this might make it a lot easier and if you have skype you won't have to write a tutorial if you (ofcourse) are willing to make me one

 

Best best wishes,

Kerbz.

I'll pm you my Skype name...
