DOH! Network

Why does Node take so long to install? Installing it so gamedig will work but it's like ./configure, make install, wait 24 hours while the install happens.

The DOH! Network domain looks like it is working intermittently. I don't know what has changed but some people reported being able to see it and others could not. Now I'm waiting for it to be more stable so the secure certificates can be set up. Still no sign of quakepark.com even though they are set up pretty much the same way.

Ok, broke everything last night upgrading the server. Managed to get it to run again. Apparently the latest Slackware kernel doesn't have drivers for either of the network cards and even then, I thought the server was online but apprently it only works in the building. I have no idea what I am doing like everything else in life.

Issues with the secure certificate again. Just when I think I have it resovled, it breaks again. Thought I had it but the site fails to load in the outside world. I'm beginning to think I should just quit all this internet stuff and go back to working at the supermarket.

Fresh Linux server build. Minecraft server started up. Or did it?

1. Go to your Minecraft folder on the server and try running Minecraft by running `./start.sh`. Did you get this error? your_user_name@your_server:/path/to/minecraft$ ./start.sh ./start.sh: line 3: /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh: No such file or directory
2. Make sure you have the Java Developer Kit installed. Get the latest JDK from the official site if you don't.
3. For Slackware, convert the `tar.gz` file to a `txz` file so you can install it with `installpkg`. I need to find where I got `java.SlackBuild` and add it here. Luckily, I still had it in a folder that was not deleted in the rebuild. ./java.SlackBuild jdk-20_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz It should let you know the 'txz' file was created if things went right. `Slackware package /tmp/jdk-20_linux-i586-1.txz created.`
4. Install it. upgradepkg --install-new /tmp/jdk-20_linux-i586-1.txz
5. You will still get the '/etc/profile.d/jdk.sh' error. jdk.sh is just a script file that needs to point to your jdk and java locations. Create that file and add this... export JDK_HOME=/usr/lib/jdk-<version number> export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jdk-<version number>
6. Try restarting Minecraft. It's should work now.

Issues with the secure certificate again. Just when I think I have it resolved, it breaks again. Thought I had it but the site fails to load in the outside world. I'm beginning to think I should just quit all this internet stuff and go back to working at the supermarket.
