[b]#
Writing win32/left4dead revision 2
#
An error occurred attempting to open win32/left4dead.txt for write[root@01 public_html]#
[/quote]

Is the directory even writable?

Make sure the 'win32' directory exists:

/build-update.php
/win32/
/linux/

You should pay attention to the console output, it provides status's and errors Smile

I'm using Linux not Windows.

I would imagine that a server in Gamecreate that's set to Linux would pull updates from the Linux content server.

Just let it write out the file anyway, its okay to leave it there.

The problem is that the script is immediately terminating as soon as it reaches that error - it really has more to do but you're not letting it because it wants to exit after encountering that problem.

Because its still not finished yet - you're either terminating the script yourself too early (in which case it should be obvious its not going to work - your not letting it finish) or its stuck there and you presume its finished, even though it never returns to the console.

"Notifying GameCreate of new revision..." is not the last log line.

It should be showing, at the very end, a "Time Taken" log line.

Post the contents of your build-update.config file (substitute "REMOVED" for the domain password though).

That's the last thing that happens before it returns me to the console.
I didn't terminate it. Once "Notifying" happens, it immediatly returns to console.

Gotcha.

What I think is happening is that PHP is encountering a fatal error trying to construct the SOAP client.

Please make sure you have the SOAP extension turned on, you can do this in your php.ini file:

extension=php_soap.dll

(On linux this would be php_soap.so).

Then try re-running the update. (You can just delete your /win32/left4dead.txt AND /linux/left4dead.txt files to allow a rebuild).

When you see it get to "Time Taken" at the end, you know its worked - updates take effect immediately, not minutes.

Looks promising.
Did a couple test runs and they were pushed pretty quick.

Thanks for the help.

No probs, glad its working!

I'll make a note to see if we can get some sort of dependency check in that script to show an error if it cant find the SOAP client.

Maybe more info in the Wiki would be handy.

I didn't know about the switches, the requirement for soap, a win32 directory on linux and a few other things.
