I am trying to install BF2 server to request a Project Reality Server License.
I followed this tutorial for installing a BF2 server : How to Set Up a Dedicated Battlefield2 Server - Tutorials
I use this operating system: Linux Debian 6.0 x32.
During server start, I have this error:
You are trying to install BF2 1.41 linux dedicated server so it wont work. It is not your error, EA hasnt added the final version to its public ftp, and they wont do it ever probably. You need version 1.5 I will se if I can get the installer up on ftp to assist you.
The best thing is to start all over with 1.5
Also see this post. Note that link for wget of 1.5 server is fake, you need real adress and I will try to provide one for you.

This is because the heartbeat server is off and GameSpy is down, so it may cause a server to fail at start. Since there is no server browser you wont be able to connect to it to verify if it works trough the server browser but you can use IP to connect to it. Also I am unsure if it will work adding it to Gametracker but try to.

Ah the pleasure is mine, dont mention it. I am glad I could help.
PS: I will update my post with server installation binary which is verified and I used it to install my server long time ago. I just had to repack it to .tar.gz because it was in .rar and I dont know which idiot packed a linux binary in rar archive.
But if the one you got works there is no need to reinstall again. I will keep the link up until December when my domain expires and I wont be extending it, so the link will cease to work then.
It says LAN because we set "sv.internet" to "0" in serversettings.con so that is not odd.
You should probably provide an IP adress for direct connection in your application for PR server, unless there is IP information requested already in the application form. They should know that vBF2 can no longer work with sv.internet 1 so application should pass.
Also I am unsure if you can add server to gametracker, cause I think it asks for "sv.internet" to be at "1", but try and see what you get. If they still require that in application form and its not possible then we should notify them of the need to change the form. I will handle it and you just see the requirements and let me know.
I already told you there is no need to redo the installation if the server works. You just need to basic server set now, cause once you get access to server admin section there will be tutorials there and possibly additional setup steps since the gamespy change, and I am not up to date with this information.
PS: additional steps there for adding a specific user and setting up server t work with that user is security measure. You should know that already running a linux dedi. No third party process should run as root ever.

Ah also one more important note. Once you apply for license keep the vBF2 server up and running, because they will be checking if it exists and if it works.
Good luck.

sv.internet 0 // 0 = LAN server, 1 = internet server / set to 0 for now
sv.serverIP "192.168.1.1" // IP of your server / set this to you LAN IP for now
sv.serverPort 16567 // Port of your server
sv.punkBuster 0 // 0 = disable Punkbuster, 1 = enable Punkbuster / set to 0 if sv.internet 0

So do you need help setting up Windows dedicated server for PR mod or are you setting up vanilla BF2 server to work with BF2 revive project such as battlelog.co ? If you are not setting up server for PR ( or if you do ) I can help but you may get specific details and meet the requirement better if you ask for help on battlelog.co forum or lookup their tutorials.

Try to put this
