OGame Tutorials

Step-by-step OGame guides written by RaGEZONE members, covering server setup, database configuration and client edits.

Guides here take you from a downloaded file set to a running OGame server: installing the database engine, importing the database, editing the config files and ports, pointing the client at your own address, and setting rates. Several also cover hosting on a VPS and opening the ports a public server needs.

OGame private servers are PHP browser-game clones, searched as OGame server files, OGame clone script, OGame source or OGame server setup, running on Apache and MySQL under WAMP, XAMPP or AppServ with Navicat, on localhost or a cPanel host. XNova releases cover 0.3 multilanguage, 0.8, the 8.0 SP1 English repack, the Redesigned betas, xNova Revolution 5.8, 5.9 and RV 1.4 Civilization. Also OasisRage (Ro11++), RageOnline v11, RocketNova 1.0rc7, Rogue Universe 0.8.1, 2Moons 1.2 to 1.7.1 Gold, XGP 2.8, OGProyect, SuperNova.WS and Xterium, dating from 2008. Setup work is English language packs for Spanish, German or Russian releases, config.php and constants.php edits, importing install.sql, and MySQL connection and blank-page errors.

Common questions

How do I set up a OGame private server?

The usual order is: get the server files, install the database engine, import the database, edit the config files with your address and ports, start the server processes in the right sequence, then point the client at your server. The guides in this section walk through each step for OGame.

Do I need to compile OGame from source?

Not always. Many OGame releases ship precompiled, so you only have to configure them. Compiling matters when you want to change how the server behaves, and there are guides here for that too.

Can I run a OGame server on my own PC?

Yes, for testing, and most guides here recommend doing exactly that first - ideally in a virtual machine. Making it reachable from the internet needs a public address or a VPS and the right ports open.
