Hi, recently I got a SliceHost server and have been trying to set up a server using this tutorial: http://www.byond.com/members/ DreamMakers?command=view_post&post=83474, but I got to Step 9 and couldn't figure out what it was trying to get me to do. Where is says "DreamDaemon --version" doesn't work. PuTTy keeps telling me '-bash: /usr/local/bin/DreamDaemon: No such file or directory'. I've also tried replacing --version with the BYOND Linux version i'm using but it still doesn't work. I'm also sure the file is there I've followed all the steps properly.

Also i've looked on the forums and replied on the tutorial but have got back nothing. Help would be great.

[link], id:696901, [link],... Did you ensure that all your steps went through properly (e.g. by repeating and double-checking spelling)?

Magicbeast20	I got that to work, thanks. But now it should be hosting and it isn't. Linux isn't outputting any errors to me. The world isn't showing up online.

Ignoring the tutorial on Dream Makers, try this method.
DreamDaemon path_to_your_dmb.dmb PORT -trusted -logself &

Please note, any spaces in the DMB file name need to be escaped, so if you were hosting say Icon Ultima, you'd have to type something like this:
DreamDaemon /home/mobiusevalon/byond/Icon\ Ultima.dmb 55678 -trusted -logself &
(I don't know from experience, and someone better with Linux could probably verify, but I think escaping would be unnecessary if you encase the path in quotation marks.)

To check for any running DreamDaemon worlds, you can also type this:
ps ax|grep Dream

Haywire	To check for any running DreamDaemon worlds, you can also type this: `ps ax\|grep Dream` After you get the PID from using `ps ax\|grep Dream` You can use `kill [pid]` to terminate the world.
