I've had the same problem for some time ago. This is how my motd.txt looks now:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html> <head> <title>lol</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=URL TO WEBSERVER"> <style> body{background:black;} h1{color:red;} p{color:green;} </style> </head> <body> <h1>blablabla</h1> </body> </html> For me, it seemded like I had to wait some time before it acutally worked, but it loads everytime just fine right now. Sometimes, the html is showed before the actual website-motd is showed.... 2012/8/25 Anime Siege <[email protected]>: > I have also been having the same problem recently. > On Aug 24, 2012 6:36 PM, "Steven Haigh" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I've also just come across a strange one... >> >> My setup is as follows: >> username: tf2server >> home: /home/tf2server >> >> Everything is installed under ~/hlds/ >> >> I have created ~/hlds/server-1/ and ~/hlds/server-2/ >> >> I have loaded everything from steam for TF2 in ~/hlds/common/. >> >> I went through and symlinked (ln -s) content from ~/hlds/common/blah to >> ~/hlds/server-1/blah and only linked server.cfg to ~/server-1.cfg and >> ~/server-2.cfg in the respective directories. >> >> The game seems to run fine, however it seems that the motd doesn't show >> anymore (or fails randomly) when people connect. >> >> I have the following links: >> $ find . | grep motd.txt >> ./hlds/server-2/orangebox/tf/**motd.txt >> ./hlds/server-1/orangebox/tf/**motd.txt >> >> These are symlinks to ~/motd-1.txt and ~/motd-2.txt. >> >> motd-1.txt & motd-2.txt contain a single line: >> $ cat motd-1.txt >> http://gaming.crc.id.au/motd/**motd.html<http://gaming.crc.id.au/motd/motd.html> >> $ >> >> I have taken a peek at the apache server logs for this, and the client >> does pull down at least the html - even when it doesn't display... >> >> When I load this into a web browser, it seems fine.
