Thanks to all who participate in testing of the alpha version! You find the Final Release
>> here <<
It's now called pwAdmin to avoid confusion with the original iWeb. Some of the bugs couldn't be solved and some of the suggestions was refused.
Description
This is my version of a completly recoded iweb pw-server administration tool. I use the same java api as iweb, but removed and improved some functions and styles.
I make this snapshot to get some feedback from the community before final release. You can report bugs, make suggestions and discussing in this thread. The software itselfs offers a preview of Account, Server-Config and Character administration. Server-Control is currently in developement, so don't use it! Please don't redistribute or publish this package as long as it is in alpha stage.
Requirements
- of curse a running pw-server
- an installed jdk (1.5+)
- the JAVA_HOME must be exported in the tomcat start script, or in the home environment for the user
Installation
- Copy the "apache-tomcat-5.5.28" directory to a place of your choice
- but don't rename the folder structure or files of the directory or sub-directories
- set the permissions of "apache-tomcat-5.5.28" and all subdirectory to 0755
- goto the "apache-tomcat-5.5.28/webaps/iweb" direcory
- select ".iwebconf.jsp" & ".pwconf.conf" and set the permission to 0644
- open the ".pwconf.conf" and replace all ip address 19.168.0.50 with the ip addi's of your server
- open the ".iwebconf.jsp" and enter the settings depending on your server, default password for iweb is "root", to change it you must encode your new password with md5 and enter the md5 string at this place
- start the server with the "tomcat_start.sh" script
- access iweb by typing url "http://YOUR-IP:8080/iweb"
- use the iweb password to login and get full access to the page
- stop the server with the "tomcat_stop.sh" script
Important Notes
- security hint: database password is saved unencrypted in config file
- security hint: don't forget to set permissions 0644 to ".iwebconf.jsp" & ".pwconf.conf" or you will share your secret data with the whole world!
- when deleting an account the characters of this account won't be deleted, but you get an message which character id's to check and delete manually
- you can only edit one character item at once, please be careful when editing items!
- intenret explorer have problems with the page layout
- you need javascript enabled to use the item viewer
Known Bugs
- when changing a character template, the changes get lost after server restart
- after renaming a character, the previous name can't be deleted from uniqeDB -> this name is unavailable for new characters -> Rename Function will be removed
- cubi balance always returned 0
- account and character page dont show on mysql connection error -> SOLVED
- memory leaks when stopping maps / server -> SOLVED
Suggestion
- it is possible to add a skill viewer/editor in the character section too. In my opinion a skill viewer/editor is not necessary, but on high demand i'll try to add that feature after finishing the server-control section. -> REFUSED
- Adding a russian language item database -> REFUSED
- Show users online status -> Show Account Online Status DONE
- Adding server backup function -> DONE
- Adding RAM used view to server control -> DONE
