Remember - CS2D Web-Interface is not for hosting servers at home! However, did you install screen? What OS are you using? Did you try nohup?

Ubuntu is bad server OS (just telling you), it's more like desktop version. However, Ubuntu was based on Debian so this will work for you.

apt-get install screen

If you haven't changed anything in code, CS2D Web-Interface runs servers using screen (package) by default.

It's Debian-based OS. Ubuntu is desktop OS, Debian is server OS. It's just that Ubuntu was not originally made to be run on servers. For example - Ubuntu is not stable, while Debian is very conservative about its packages.

Connect to your server via SSH. If you use Windows, use SSH Secure Shell (client, it's free).

You need to install screen in order to start servers directly from web-interface. Or you can append this fix.

$exec = "nohup ".$_SESSION['curserv']['dir']."cs2d_dedicated -name '".iconv('UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1', $_SESSION['curserv']['name'])."' -port ".$_SESSION['curserv']['port']." -maxplayers ".$_SESSION['curserv']['maxpl']." -rcon '".$_SESSION['curserv']['rcon']."' 2> /dev/null > /dev/null &";

This will start server using nohup instead of screen. All the values are taken from CS2D Web-Interface so that will work. Also this fixes problem with special symbols (with iconv PHP function). Make sure that database tables are using UTF-8, if you want that to work. Consider installing phpMyAdmin if you're new to Linux.

The programm "screen" is not a tool to make displays working. It has nothing to do with a monitor or graphics. Screen just gives you the possibility to "detach" programms, so that they run in background. So you can safely install screen

Ah, misunderstanding. Yes, "screen" is a program that emulates multiple console "windows". Through a few special keystrokes, you can create new windows and switch to them at will. That allows you to start many CS2D servers at once.

That's what you need to paste when $radio = 3.

1
2

$pid=exec("pidof ".$_SESSION['curserv']['dir']."cs2d_dedicated");
exec("kill ".$pid);

That will work. CS2D Web-Interface is a bit outdated, so sending packets directly to the server does not work anymore. This will kill server process instead (called hard stop in CS2D Web-Interface, I suppose). Soft stop will not work anymore.
