No, you cant use it via desktop version. You could in theory but dont do it. Use server ubuntu.

i have a problem Can we make this server using Ubuntu desktop edition

Unless your problem is a learning disability, you should learn how to operate a "server edition" of Linux... NO, you do NOT want to run 'servers' on "desktop edition" //facepalm

Anywhoot, :welcome: to RaGEZONE

You will find plenty of info here to get a PW server going.

Don't fret if you're new to Linux/"Server Edition" -- just remember, what you cannot find here (in regard to Linux) google is GOD !!!

go to pwadmin - Release: pwAdmin v1.8 download pwadmin,and the jetty script, you put the jetty script in the /root folder and put jetty-7.2.0 in your pwserver directory
go into jetty-7.2.0
then go into webapps
then go into pwadmin
then go into WEB-INF
open .pwconf.conf file in wordpad and change all the ip's to your servers ip
then open .pwadminconf.jsp with wordpad and change the database information to yours "db = database"
so host = ip
port keep the same
user is your root username
password is your password
database is pw
now at the top of this file you will see
String iweb_password = "abunch of numbers mixed together";
make sure it says
string iweb_password = "63a9f0ea7bb98050796b649e85481845"
your password is root in pwadmin.

Hi thanks for weary nice guide.
I have little problem understanding this part.

1st Problem

go to pwadmin - Release: pwAdmin v1.8 download pwadmin,and the jetty script, you put the jetty script in the /root folder and put jetty-7.2.0 in your pwserver directory

As some people posted that link is dead for pwadmin. Can you please tell me do we have to download pwadmin - Release: pwAdmin v1.8 or just jetty 7.2.0 and script?

Also you don't say what to do with pwadmin 1.8?

I sow you post jetty 7.2.0 link on megaupload in some of the posts that you replayed to people asking about this.

I got jetty 7.2.0 from that link witch bring me to 2nd problem.

2nd Problem

put the jetty script in the /root folder and put jetty-7.2.0 in your pwserver directory
go into jetty-7.2.0
then go into webapps
then go into pwadmin
then go into WEB-INF
open .pwconf.conf file in wordpad and change all the ip's to your servers ip
then open .pwadminconf.jsp with wordpad and

I did put jetty script in /root folder. Then i unpacked "jetty-7.2.0.tar" and put that folder in PWServer folder.

Then i went to jetty-7.2.0/webapps/pwadming/web-inf and there i got stuck. There is no .pwconf.conf and .pwadmingconf.jsp files in there. Only files i see there are "classes" folder, "lib" folder and "web.xml".

Can you or someone else help me out whit this. Thanks in advance.

ok
put the jetty file inside the root folder of your linux server
/root
then you extract the jetty tar file with winrar
you should now have
jetty-7.2.0 folder inside
take that folder and add it to your /pwserver diractory,
after this move to
webapps
then
WEB-INF
there you should find the two files
.pwconf.conf
and
.pwadminconf.jsp
modify them to your server information
then after that type in your terminal application
./jetty start
and it will start jetty

pwadmin is then installed.

Search, your client version and server version dont match (most likely).

Well first this is a very good guide never seen a better for win but I have 2 problems at the end

1.:
now your done
when you want to start
pwadmin type ./jetty start
then go to

then go to control server, and start it
your server is now started.

i started it, its online but when i try to register there is the message "Cant connect to MySql..."


2:
Also if you already have the client make sure to check
Glinkd go to the first login server and change the line below the ip that says
10301 to 10306 save restart and then log in.

where is glinkd??

thanks in advantage

go into your server through ftp and go to pwserver/glinkd/gamesys.conf and change all the 10301 to 10306 then save, and you didnt set the pwadmin to use your mysql server make sure its set up to read the right database.

without a static ip its pretty useless youll always have to change it.

yeah that works and its more secure, does the 0.0.0.0 auto assign an ip to it? so all he will have to do is change the serverlist.txt to connect to it? i always thought we always had to modify that one ip to get glinkd working when an ip changes this is kinda nice to know thanks.

i have mine set to 127.0.0.1 as well xd, just the glinkd needs to be public dont think they should have access to everything xD.

All it means is that it will accept on all IP addresses of the machine as it isn't listening for a specific address
