When I ask for help, no one helps me. Yet, when everyone else askes, they almost always get help. I just don't get it.
Edit: Nadrew was nice enough to at least try to help. It just wasn't what i needed. Thanks Nadrew.

Blaz, Maybe its because the people dont know how to help you or it is too hard. Just a thought though.
|
or maybe your questions are hard to read due to grammer and spellings, or maybe they are too ambiguous. Or even maybe you havnt waited for very long?

I know some people who can help, digitalmouse, and some others that are good with Linux, and my questions were very clear:
'Can anybody help me set up Byond hosting? I have Linux Madrake and I have Byond on it, but not installed yet. Thanks' I think that is clear enough. ~Blaz3 | |
Also, you need to kind of establish a good reputation. Don't go around swearing or treating other people badly. For the complete thing on that, go to the rules. Also be nice and enthusiastic as much as possible :) If everybody hates you, they won't want answer your questions now will they?

I have never really sweared in the forums the whole time I was at Byond from when I started. I wouldn't know why people wouldn't like me. I try to stay as respectful as I can in the Byond community. If I swear or flame, sorry, but I don't even recall doing any of that to anybody (from searching in the forum's history and from memory).

Not many people are at Guru level with BYOND CGI, so not many can help.
I was going to reply but I didnt want to waste your time with a very vague reponse (Since I only know what Ive heard). Did you search the forums for others with your problem? | |
Yep. I can't find it. Maybe im not searching hard enough? *Clicks Search button more times.* I'll look more. =P
PS DarkView: I'm trying to install the whole Byond system (DM, DS, DD). Sorry if I didn't state that in my original post. ~Blaz3 | |
Sorry thats my fualt. I always assume that when someone is talking about Linux Mandrake they are talking about installing a webhost.
I know next too nothing about Linux, so you might want to check out the Bwiki aswell if the forums dont work out. I know how you feel with searches, I can never find what Im looking for, but its great advice in theory. =P | |
It's ok. Yea. I forgot all about that. I'll go look now.
[edit] I looked on the Bwicki, no go. Oh well. I guess i'll just go on without Byond installed on my Linux system -_- [/edit] ~Blaz3 | |
It might help to A) go in Chatters or B) find Cablemonkey. Both of these ways could get you some good answers!

I have been working 12-14 hours days lately, and when I get home I am rarely in a mindset to properly help anyone - much less myself. So, rather than give you bad help, I'd rather give you no help at this time. I'm also preparing for a major move across town toward the end of this month, and possibly moving digitalBYOND (*and* its hosting services) to new and better machinery. I do have plans to write up a few tutorials and FAQ's about setting up a Linux host server, but don't expect to see those until atleast mid-June, once all the projects and moving and settling down is done. | |

I hope your workload decreases a little soon. ^_^ I'm also preparing for a major move across town toward the end of this month, and possibly moving digitalBYOND (*and* its hosting services) to new and better machinery.

Great! Now all I need is a Linux box that I can use as a server... =P | |

Now all I need is a Linux box that I can use as a server... =P Since I've proven that a 200Mhz Pentium-MMX machine with gobs of RAM (384MB currently) seems to run pretty well as a test server for hosting several chat-room and turn-based games, and chugs along decently with 15 people running around in HedgerowHall during early testing, you ought to be able to find hundreds of 200-400Mhz machines lying around - either from places or people who have upgraded to something better (schools, companies, agencies, private persons), in the newspaper, at computer clubs, at flea markets, or even in eBay. My box was donated free, and I only needed to get a newer ethernet card (15€). I have seen boxes like mine cost from $25-$100 on average, depending on the quality. A nice expense saver is that once the box is up and running the way you like it, you don't need a keyboard, mouse or monitor hooked up to it anymore - all access can be done via a shell terminal program, or (if setup correctly) via your browser. | |
Good news!!! I just got Windows 2000 to work (just felt like telling yall =P). I just installed Win2k without a new partion or formating. So I have all my files =).
