game_auth starts but never listens on port 11000 (no LISTEN socket, no logs)
Hello everyone,
I’m currently setting up m2dev clean server files on Ubuntu 24.04 (ARM / Raspberry Pi) and I’m stuck with a silent game_auth issue.
Environment
OS: Ubuntu 24.04 (aarch64, Raspberry Pi)
MariaDB: 10.11
Server files: m2dev-server
Server sources: m2dev-server-src
Branch / commit: main @ 75595bed81c80fcbfd9b492aa6020f1525972c6f
Problem
game_auth starts and stays running, but:
It does NOT open port 11000
ss -lntp shows no LISTEN socket
No logs, no stdout, no crash
Start scripts work and all processes stay alive
Evidence
pids.json shows auth, db, and all channel cores running
db listens on 127.0.0.1:15000
mariadbd listens on 3306
game_auth PID exists but no TCP socket is bound
Example:
ps aux | grep game_auth root 40419 ... ./game_auth ss -lntp | grep 11000 # no output
What I already verified
CONFIG in channels/auth:
HOSTNAME: auth CHANNEL: 1 PORT: 11000 P2P_PORT: 12000
share/data/package exists
data symlink exists in:
channels/auth
all channel cores
Firewall is disabled (ufw inactive)
Running ./game_auth -p 11000 changes nothing
strings game_auth shows bind, listen, socket, etc.
No error messages at all
