L.S. I only joined this mailinglist recently even though I've been running a TF2 server for years now, so please forgive me if this issue has been addressed already, but I have the following issue with publishing replays on my server.
I'm publishing the replays through local http, since bandwidth isn't really an issue for me. So I have the cvar replay_local_fileserver_path set to .../orangebox/tf/replays/ and made a symlink /var/www/replays to it. I've also set replay_fileserver_path to /replays. The group ID of this directory is set to www-data which has read and execute rights on it. The result of this all is that the folder and it's contents are visible through the world wide web, so it seems to be okay. However, every file that's put into the directory is owned by my UID and GID, with read and write permissions for the user and read permissions for the group, 'other' has no rights to the files whatsoever. The result of that is that the files can't be downloaded by the TF2 clients of players. I've tried setting the sticky bit in the group permissions of the directory and also setting a default ACL, but the TF2 server just ignores those somehow and still creates the files with the wrong group and permissions. One solution I've managed to find is setting replay_local_fileserver_path to /var/www/replays/ and set all the right permissions on that directory, but this has resulted in the following console spam in the server for every replay file it tries to save: Unable to rename [...]/orangebox/tf/replay/server/tmp/20120825-013138-mvm_coaltown.dmx to /var/www/replays/20120825-013138-mvm_coaltown.dmx! It still works, the error only means it can't move the file by renaming it, which is correct since the TF2 files and /var/www are not on the same partition, but seeing this error in the console over and over annoys me so I'd rather not use this workaround. Can anyone shed any light on this? Regards, Rudy -- Idleness is not doing nothing.
