How to keep MaNGOS up.. and screen error?

[manofwar95]

I want to know how it's possible to keep MaNGOS online when you exit putty, I know what you all are thinking "USE SCREEN", "SCREEN YOU NOOB", "YEAH WHAT THE GUY SAID, USE SCREEN" My answer is I HAVE! but now, for some reason, when I have my server up in a screen session and I try to login to it says unable to connect! Odd, but when I stopped using screen I can connect fine?

Hello manofwar95,

could you maybe explain a bit more how your setting up screen? My guess is, you mixed something up

Well just in case, here is the procedure I use:

• login to server.
  
• run "screen -R mangosd" start MaNGOS in this screen and detach it with CTRL+a+d.
  
• run "screen -R realmd" start realmd in this screen and detach it with CTRL+a+d
  
• log off
  

This way I never had a problem with screen (and I have to say, I don't know why screen should block your login).
