Attempting to get a Linux Combined Operations server working

[bros]

Running Debian 6 32-bit.

Files from Arma2 are uploaded to /home/arma2oa/arma2

Files from OA are uploaded to /home/arma2oa/arma2oa

This what I am running to try to get the server up:
./server > test.txt -cfg=arma2oa.cfg -config=server.cfg -mod=@cba\;@ace\;@acex\;@acex_ru\;@acex_usnavy\;@ja yarma2lib\;@acre\;

Here is server.cfg:

[Deadfast]

Please post output from the following command:

ls -Rx1 /home/arma2oa/

It will print out the complete directory hierarchy for /home/arma2oa/.

It will be very long thanks to the mods so you might have to post it on Pastebin.

There you go

First youre missing some things in arma2oa.cfg thats why its complaining but its not critical.

I have these and it works perfectly, so use what you need for yourself

language="English";
adapter=-1;
3D_Performance=1;
Resolution_W=800;
Resolution_H=600;
Resolution_Bpp=32;
Windowed=0;
viewDistance=3000;
terrainGrid=25;
MaxMsgSend=32;
MaxSizeGuaranteed=1024;
MaxSizeNonguaranteed=256;
MinBandwidth=76800000;
MaxBandwidth=1048576000;
MinErrorToSend=0.001;
MinErrorToSendNear=0.0099999998;
MaxCustomFileSize=0;

Next is your launch line. Why are you not using start script provided with server its much easier that way. Next is CBA. Which version do you use? If you use latest builds then you will need ( for CO ) cba, cba_a2, and cba_oa. If not then its ok. But using latest version of ace and old cba, Im not sure how that will work. Just thinking out loud here.

Make sure you have all keys from addons in your serverroot/keys folder, and only ones you want to allow on your server.

And oh boy you made a complete mess with those directories. I cant frankly see whats where from that output, Ill let Deadfast look into that one.

And I forgot to add...do not use jayarmalib on the server unless you need it for some reason. It wont work on linux, its not needed for acre to run on server.

That last bit is useful to know.

I'm mostly trying to just see if the server works first, but here is my arma2oaserver contents (the relevant bits):

So does your server run? What problem do you actually have?

[bros]

Oh. I thought I said that, sorry.

It's a Debian 6 server.

It won't start. Gives a bunch of errors. If it starts and I login as admin, click server control - missions, server crashes

[Overlord]

If it starts and I login as admin, click server control - missions, server crashes

Capital letters in mission names (or other places)?
BTW, try to get a vanilla server to run flawlessly before you add a bunch of more ore less demanding mods. Always a good way to pin-point issues.

Already got a vanilla server running flawlessly. Well a vanilla server running OA. Not running CO.

So I just launched the server (after adding that stuff to the config) and it worked well until we clicked missions and it crashed, got this:
