I will start by saying SORRY i`m thick.Now that covers me.

Ok here goes........

My clan wants to rent a dedicated box and we can afford the dual xeons ,wondows 2003. But my knowledge for running dedicated is poor.
Wondered if any1 could help by answering some questions.

I have sucessfully run a server locally using a .bat pointing to the server.cfg

1.When i get the box i get and IP for that box and must configure additional IP`s but how?

2.How do set up an ftp account using the IP`s and personal login names?

3.I run multiple game instances via different .bat files and cfg`s using one main installation of a game transfered to anything but the root dir?

4.What is best proggy for remote start/stop/restart for additional clan members?

I know there are alot of questions there but everyone needs to start out somewhere right?


Plz someone reply :shock:

1. goto start > settings > control panel > public lan > properties > click on tcp/ip > properties > advanced

That is where you add all of your ips.

2. http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

3. Its best to have each server to have its own files. For example if you wanted to have a mod on one server, you could not just put it on one, you'd be putting it on all 3.

4. Firedaemon http://www.firedaemon.com or www.serverdoc.com

First off TY for your speedy reply.I appreciate the help alot.

1.For IP adding do i receive the IP`s to add when i order? or do i just make up a series of numbers?what about changing port number?

2.I have cute ftp pro 6.3. would this have options to add ftp clients like filezilla?

3.mmmm so i would have to copy all gamefiles into another dir; some with mods and some without,each containing their own maps,.bat, and .cfg, and run them with serverdoc, firedaemon or just .bat?

4.firedaemon and serverdoc both generate .html files for easy access? I have downloaded both but dont see them in basic version and i am not sure which to purchase. advice?

Just so you know, i was hoping to run 3 CoD 20 slotty and 1 mohaas 20 slotty on a xeon box with 100mb and wondows 2003, 1gig ram.

I have read many of your posts today in the forums,very helpful indeed.TY.

1. you should already have 5 ip addresses. Just add them in sequential order. If your talking about changing gameserver port numbers, just change them via the command line. If your talking about changing ftp port numbers, there should be an option for that with the ftp server you are using.

2. You need an ftp "server" to be able to add users. You can access the ftp "server" with any ftp "client" you wish. CuteFTP is not a server. I personnaly use Ability FTP server 1.1. Its very easy to use and setup. http://download.com.com/3000-2165-10266005...tml?tag=lst-0-1

3. yes

4. FarCry can help you with firedameon, but for serverdoc, you create a file called wwwconfig.cfg in which you specify the port number/username/password to be able to stop/start the server frow a website. For example...

port 159
ip 69.93.130.242
user username password 0 0

Save this as wwwconfg.cfg in the same folder as serverdoc.exe

This would allow you to goto http://69.93.130.242:159 and have remote access to stop/start your server with serverdoc. Easy way to use serverdoc is with a batch file. For example...

serverdoc CoDMP.exe +set dedicated 2 +set com_hunkmegs 80 +set net_ip 69.93.130.245 +set net_port 28961 +exec codserver.cfg +map_rotate +set sv_punkbuster 1

Serverdoc.exe and codmp.exe are in the same directory. Save the above as a batch (.bat) file and run it. It will start serverdoc up with the specified commandline, and if you have wwwconfig.cfg in the same folder, it will give you remote access to stop/start.


For those servers you with to run, this would be a great help http://forums.servermatrix.com/viewtopic.html?t=6785

1.so i could specify a port number other than default 28960 maybe 99999 in the command line?

2.Im sorry, i dint realise it was a server proggy not a client.I took your advice and DL`d Abilityftp server.Thx it looks simple for me,just what i like Although i`m not sure when the 30 trial is up if i can still use it and cope with an `upgrade now !`page.

3.Sorted.TY

4.I have fiddled around with both proggies and both work well but when i try to close console the damn server keeps loading !! gah ! i`m only kidding *twiddles thumbs and wonders where my $25 will go*

com_hunkmegs 80 what this do?

If, when i get our server and everything goes ok, for my life to be complete all i would need is for someone to dip me in chocolate and throw me to the lesbians !

Thx again aLLpLaY, you ceratinly know your stuff bud.

1. Yes

+set net_port xxxxx

2. cool

3. ok

4. In serverdoc, in the file menu use the drop down box and click stop. (Not sure bout firedameon)

Thanks

Thx for all your help.
I was amazed at the quick responces.
Your a kind person.

Sorry i havent been around much but in regards to firedaemon

There is a web panel that alows you to stop/start/restart/edit a service (the release version just completed.) So if you get firedaemon (its $20 if you click the link in my sig) i can send you the web panel.

to stop/start a service in firedaemon use the icons at the top of the program

everything else allplay seems to have answered

Hi Farcry, and thx for your responce.

I have some questions about daemon,

can i see an example of the webpanel?

I would like members to have access to stop/start/restart via secure login for individual services.Daemon does this right?

Thx.
