Hello.
I want to enable debug mode on my linux server how can I do that?
I tried adding -debug and it didnt make any logs. I also tried -debug "debug.txt" and -debug "debug.log" and not logs were made.
What is the correct way to use this and where are the debug logs saved.
Thanks for reading.

Running tf2 on linux "-debug" works just fine. You get a debug.log file in the root of your server next to the srcds_linux file in case it crashes.

So I added -debug to my server starup line so it looks like this:

screen -m -S tf2 ./srcds_run -game tf -debug -timeout 5 +map vsh_mountanbash_v3 +mapcyclefile "mapcycle.txt" +maxplayers 32 -autoupdate -steam_dir /hlserver/ -steamcmd_script /hlserver/tf2_ds.txt

And here is the crash log in the putty window:

Here is the image of my root server folder:
http://gyazo.com/a0833405bae8c78e2d31448c10f98632

No files were created.

Here is the image of the tf2 folder:
http://gyazo.com/7693c7c1b60b06b24d9e72bf5ae9f704

No files were created here too.

I also searched my user dir which has the tf2 server and these were

root@bravegaming:~# find . -name debug.log\* root@bravegaming:~# find . -name debug\* ./hlserver/tf2/hl2/scripts/debugoptions.txt root@bravegaming:~#

Am I doing something wrong?

[MrSohail]

Help anyone? Please.

[UMTeleporter]

Make sure gdb is installed

[Sillium]

The command line looks fine to me. I added ours as a reference but I don't see any big differences.

./srcds_run -autoupdate -steam_dir /STEAMDIR/ -steamcmd_script /STEAMDIR/tf2.txt -game tf -debug -maxplayers 24 -port 27015 +map pl_badwater +ip X.X.X.X"

Did you do what UMTeleporter recommended?
