Not able to start headless server on Ubuntu

Post by Alaninster »

Hello,

i am trying to setup a headless server on my ubuntu machine. i already created a user and extracted the headless package in /opt/factorio. the directory is owned by user and group factorio

when i run the command i get no error, no warning and nothing. but the server is not started at all, no config file is created and no savegame file is created

Code: Select all

/opt/factorio# sudo -u factorio ./bin/x64/factorio --create /opt/factorio/saves/test.zip
when i run the command as root i geht the following output

Code: Select all

/opt/factorio# ./bin/x64/factorio --create /opt/factorio/saves/test.zip

Code: Select all

-bash: ./bin/x64/factorio: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
"Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden" means something like "File or Directory not found"

I already tried to add an existing savegame and start the server with the savegame, but the result is the same

already tried to search the forums, but were not able to find a suiteable thread or solution

thanks for helping me, hope i can get the server running
al

Run uname -m, compare the output to the architecture of the executable you're trying to run.
