How To Make a Webhosted Habbo Retro​

Hi guys :3 So I have been actually dying to make this thread for the longest time, just never really got around to it, so I finally decided to do it and trust me. You will love me <3. So I'm going to teach you how to make a webhosted Habbo retro. This tutorial works for any hotel version although I will be using R63 for my examples. If your going to follow this, follow it as if it was manual and not a step-by-step tutorial, there is a reason for such free screenshots and thats because its different for every webhost but the concept is the same and if you use like a manual you will do fine, its written like a manual for 2 reasons. 1) Habbo Retros are supposed to be a adventure and learning experience, so figure out new ways to do it, that's how I got started. 2) There are different scenarios for every webhost. Let me give you a little back story before I go into this "manual". First off why Webhost? Simple. Less problems. Seriously! You dont need to worry about DDOSing since most hosts have protection against that, plus cPanel has a amazing IP Denier. Don't have to worry about running Xampp or opening ports that could interfer with other programs or worrying about ISS, its all done on the webhosts side. So when someone says "Why Webhost?", Answer with, "Why wouldnt you?". When I was in 2nd Grade I wanted to make my first website. I told my parents they didn't believe in me. So I researched and researched and finally after 2 hours made a website off of Bravenet. I taught myself how to make a website off a webhost. So naturally all the websites I make are going to be off a webhost w/ cPanel ect. When I got into Habbo retros, I made my first oldschool which is also based off of Hamachi and a Webhost. Then v26 came and that was hard to do. I had never worked w/ Xampp before, but followed a tutorial and eventually made it. I didn't like how I had to keep my computer on for the server and the webspace. So, I set out to make a webhosted v26 Habbo retro, now remember this is a month after my first oldschool retro. I finished it and I just loved myself. So I am spreading the word about Webhosted Habbo Retros. This Tutorial REQUIRES a basic knowledge of how to make a Habbo Retro before attempting!​

1) Find a Webhost
-Make sure the Webhost doesn't block Habbo Retros or Habbo Retro software. Sites like 000webhost DO! I currently am getting my hosting from my good friend Bill at habbohosting.info
-Make sure you have enough space for all your CMS files
-Make sure you have PLENTY of bandwidth!!!!
-Make sure it is cPanel hosting!!!!

2) Set It Up
-To set it up first create a FTP account, then login with

You must be registered to see links

or any FTP program of your choice
-Go into your public_html folder (www for some webhosts)
-Upload all your files (this includes SWFs, DCRs, CMS files, Client)

3) Setting Up The Database
-In cPanel you will see a box that will look something like in the image

You must be registered to see links

. Click MySQL Databases.
-Scroll down and fill out the Add a New User Section
-Now go back up and type a database name, then click create db
-Confirm it, then go back down and hit Add User to DB, select the user you just created and the database you just made. Then give the user all permissions and hit ok.
-Go back to the fun box shown in the image link above and click Remote MySQL, now in Remote MySQL you will have a message talking about a wildcard, create a wildcard entry and go back.
-Go back to the fun box shown in the image link above and click PHPMyAdmin, then hit the Db you made, and hit import and import your DB file.

4) Setting Up The Hotel CMS
-Go into your Config file, the basic config files usually have what is in the code below:

$dbhost = "bla";
$dbusername = "ble";
$dbpassword = "blee";
$dbname = "bloop";

we are going to edit that so it has the following:

$dbhost = "localhost (if you get DB connection errors with localhost, ping your website, and put the IP you get instead)";
$dbusername = "the db user you created from above";
$dbpassword = "the password you gave the db user you created from above";
$dbname = "the name of the db you created from the above";

-Now just edit any other files you may want edited (variables, rest of the config)

5) Setting Up The Hotel
-You need to have an emulator, and something to run it on so I recommend Habbohosting.info for a low priced, .5GB-1GB RAM VPS. You will need to buy one somewhere else eventually if your hotel gets big enough, but seriously Habbohosting is the place to go

-To setup the emulator (assuming your using Phoenix) i have a copy of the Phoenix config file that you should fill out below:

## Phoenix 3.0 System Configuration File
 
## Licence Information
*************.username= *Your Phoenix Username*
*************.password= *Your Phoenix Password*
 
## MySQL Configuration
db.hostname=*ping your website, then put the IP that returns here*
db.port=3306
db.username=*the db user you created from above*
db.password=*the password to the db user you created from above*
db.name=*the name of the db that was created from above*
 
## MySQL pooling setup (controls amount of connections)
db.pool.minsize=5
db.pool.maxsize=30
 
## Game TCP/IP Configuration
game.tcp.bindip=*The IP of the machine you are hosting the EMULATOR on*
game.tcp.port=*The Gameport*
game.tcp.conlimit=5000
 
## Client configuration
client.ping.enabled=1
client.ping.interval=30000
 
## MUS TCP/IP Configuration
mus.tcp.bindip=*The IP of the machine you are hosting the EMULATOR on*
mus.tcp.port=*The MUS port*
mus.tcp.allowedaddr=*ping your website, then put the IP that returns here*

inb4 everyone else

good post Mithex, should help a lot. though most webhosts will get PISSED if it gets attacked, and will most likely end in termination but good luck!

[Mithex]

question.. why do i get this error?

One of the following problems have occurred:

You either did not enter in the correct IP address for the MySQL host

or

You did not setup a wildcard for your Remote MySQL

mm i checked everything i set up a wildcard on my hosting

would my pc portforwarding have anything to do with it?
