./writer.pl: No Such File Or Directory

[Mezo]

Hi Guys, I just followed https://github.com/denisio/Dayz-Epoch-Linux-Serverto install an Epoch server on my linux 12.04 ubuntu VPS. When trying to run " ./epoch.sh" I get this error

( $ ) root@ns321745:~# /home/home/epoch/epoch.sh

/home/home/epoch/epoch.sh: line 1: ./writer.pl: No such file or directory

 

Is anyone able to help me out with this?

 

Thanks,

Mezo.

 have you made writer.pl executable?

 have you made writer.pl executable?

I haven't, no. How do I do that on linux?

In SSH Terminal go the the server folder and type

chmod 777 ./writer.pl

or right click writer.pl > permissions > tick all 9 boxes   thats for filezilla, might be called differently in another ftp client.

 

infact, I recommend doing

 

chmod 777 ./ 

 

in that folder to give everything the correct permission as it may cause problems

You did not execute epoch.sh from the server directory. If you enter your servers directory and execute it via ./epoch.sh it should not throw this error.

You could enter a cd /<your_server_dir> at the beginning of epoch.sh, so your working directory is always your server directory (if you for whatever reason want to execute the script from whatever other dir).
