With the CounterStrike:Global Offensive server now up and running, I wanted to see some statistics around the activity on the server. This is a post about the HLStatsX:CE plugin and the updates made to the Perl script to allow Geographical IP mapping to work properly.
CounterStrike has always been enjoyable to play from time to time. I have had a CS 1.6 server in the past, but it was time to stand up a CS:GO server. There are many steps available online to walk through this process, however they all seem to lack the end to end setup to share your private server with the community at large. Once we outline those missing steps, we will cover how to make this into a properly functioning server.
I had been experiencing slower than usual downloads over Time Warner’s network and it had become unbearable when I could no longer support a G711 call. For once though, it was not Time Warner’s fault.
*Update* Working on Ubuntu 14.04 currently, stay tuned for some additional updates! It seems like some of the configuration path references were no longer valid after the upgrade.
While attempting to find out what an existing jabber-config.xml file had in it, I was having some issues using a TFTP client across port 69 to the server. While searching around, I found that the solution was simple: use port 6970 to view the file through a web browser.

For those of you who open their Cisco CUBE to 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 or issue the no ip address trusted list command, hopefully this may change your mind.

Working with voip.ms for the first time was pretty straightforward. I liked the $.99/mo DID with a pay per minute session that allowed simultaneous connections across my lab SIP trunk. After adding some funds, it appeared that their wiki page’s configuration was not working properly. I imagine it would be a common problem, so below is the debug message that took me down the path for a successful 200 OK SIP connection as well as the correct sip-ua configuration.

Running some Linux machines for long periods of time can cause some older kernels to hang around on the /boot partition. As the /boot partition is small by design, this can cause a situation where space runs out. On my lab system, errors that have been created from this includes VMware Tools failing to load and package upgrade issues. Fortunately, the fix is not too difficult.
