I'm trying to start a CS 1.6 server under Debian Linux. GameCreate is running well, but CS 1.6 doesn't work. I installed it without any problem and created a server.

I can't reach the server, although GC says it's running and without problems. The servers seems to be offline...

Did you open the required ports on your server?
Perhaps your firewall still blocks the server.
If you did so, try the following steps:

Stop the server via gamecreate interface
Stop the GC client on your server
Run the GC client on your server in foreground mode: gamecreate.x86 -f
Start the CS server via GC Interface
Look in GC client's output for the used startup command for the server and copy it
Stop the server in the interface and stop the GC client (STRG+C)
Try to run the server using the startup command you copied out from GC clients output

Does the server start up?
If not, there is an error in your installation, the startup command or the configuration

Yes, all ports are opened. It's a dedicated server without firewall.

I followed your steps and tried to start the server manually by using the command line of GC. But there is an error message:

Can you post the comment you used?
Is the file that is executed by the command named 'hlds_run'?
If yes, have you checked that this file exists in the game's directory?

This is the command I used:

You are shure that this is the full command that was executed by GC?
Normally the commandline looks like this:
/absolute/path/to/game/hlds_run -params...

the file hlds_run is not in one of the global binary folders, so if you want to run it you have to run it with the absolute path or you must go to the folder that contains hlds_run and run this:
./hlds_run -params...
I'd expect you to run it with the absolute path. this is what GC does.

On the Game Configuration tab, you can make the game require a 'screen' session.

You should look into what a screen is on Linux - its pretty handy, and lets you put a process 'in the background' and come back to it later by looking at its console.

By doing this; you will be able to see what errors the server is spamming.

The server appears to crash?

Try running the server manually using the command line shown on the Server Overview page.
