Setting up a VPS. Really need technical help!

[Sasquatch]

Well, I just payed 20 bucks for a year round 24/7 server, so I would like to get it working. I am using Ramnode SSH. I have registered and gotten putty up an running already, all of that is out of the way. The operating system on my server is a 64 bit Ubuntu. I have followed all of the steps on setting up a pyspades server here, and put each line in one at a time. The second and third lines give me warnings, and later on down the road I get outright errors. Here is what my logs looks like.



It is possible that I'm not installing things in the proper directory, but I need help doing this. If anyone can figure out what is wrong I would be very grateful. I have wanted a VPS for a long time but was largely unaware of how to go about it. Thanks.

Edit: I've also tried using Ubuntu 11.10 on a 32 bit machine with slightly different but still undesirable results.

..looks like python can't find cython.. but unfortunately I'm still too unfamiliar with Linux to help you, other than saying vague things like that haha.

It seems like you cloned the repository fine, did you install the dependencies without error?

Nope. Like I said the first line went flawlessly. The second line causes a few warnings like "XYZ is a variable, but is set to no value" or something like that. Gimme a sec and I'll post another log.

Okay, sorry I was wrong, there are some problems in the first line. This is what the first line gives me:

[TEFLON]

what host are you using if you dont mind me asking

[topo]

From your sig it looks like you got this sorted, but you needed to run

Code: Select all

apt-get update

to update your VPS's package lists.
