Hello, I’m trying to run a cs16 server on 5$ droplets, but for some reason the when I start the game server, the socket does not get created. I’ve tried on other VPS providers and it does work. I’ve installed the cs16 server using linuxgsm. A couple a weeks ago it was working.
Thank you !

As you can see the server is started, but I cannot see any port being created.
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)

Hi @bobocsabin,
Most probably there is an error behind the issue you are facing. Can you please check if you have enough space on the server and other common stuff like that?
If all of them are okay, can you check the application’s logs to see what’s going on? Most probably there is a valid reason behind this. These logs, should be somewhere in the /var/log/ folder.
Regards, KFSys
