This tutorial will teach you how to setup a Jabbo V3 server that uses Python, IIS and C#. If you have not head of Jabbo, check it out!

Before starting the tutorial, I request you have:
1. A Windows 7 Operating System (as this tutorial is designed for it)
2. XAMPP pre-installed.
3. Common computer knowledge.
4. How to use PhpMyAdmin
5. The actual Jabbo Files from the link above.
Getting Started: IIS
For some reason I cannot get Jabbo to run on Apache so I recommend using IIS. If you are unsure how to installed IIS on your home computer then I have taken the time to tell you how.
1. Start -> Control Panel -> Turn Windows Features on or off
2. Tick the box that has Internet Information Services and press OK.
3. Head to this (

to make sure you get to the IIS welcome page.5. Move the 'client' from the Jabbo folder to the path C:/inetpub/wwwroot
The Database
Since you have XAMPP installed, we will use the MySQL from there. I don't want to have to explain how to install MySQL without answering a bundle of questions.
1. Start MySQL up in the XAMMP Control Panel. *Don't start Apache*
2. Move the phpmyadmin dictory to C:/inetpub/wwwroot *This is for temp access so delete it when you are done*
3. Head to

and create a database called Jabbo then import the SQL script that came with the Jabbo download called 'jabbo.sql.zip'The Python Part

This is the easiest way to deal with Python and orbited.
1. Place Python27 extracted to the desktop.
2. Right click on computer and go properties
3. Then go 'Advance System Settings"
4. Environment Variables
5. For variables for <username> add on the path area
Code:
C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\Python27\bin;C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\Python27\scripts\C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\Python27
6. Do the same for System Variables.
7. Open up a command prompt as Administrator and type Python.
8. If no problems, open another and type
PHP:
orbited -c "path to config"
The configuration is the file called 'orbited.cfg'
Set the server up
1. Go to the server folder of JabboV3.
2. Navigate this way to find the server executable.
PHP:
'jabboV3\server\KyntoServerCMD\bin\Debug'
4. Start 'JabboServerCMD.exe' up.
Final Step
