Server Setup

[worwick]

What paks should I be installing before I install PWserver? I am installing Ubuntu and that seems to go fairly easy but I keep running into snags with java and pwAdmin or Iweb. Should I install The Tomcat-Java server pak?

thanks

pak? packs maybe ^^

Well after u install ubuntu server (x32), u need XAMPP server ( Apache, MySql, FileZilla, Mercury and Tomcat included)..

Then Java, and pwAdmin (iWeb is very old version.. pwAdmin is great tool ^^ )
Ofc, dont fogeret to proper config all IP adresses etc..

Lol so much to do. Im setting up a server on Puppy Linux in vbox with Hiawatha instead of apache . MySQL is having problems starting though . oh well back to googling for a solution.

Also make sure you use two versions of java if you use the lastest pwAdmin. jdk1.6.0_17 and jdk1.5.0_21 or jdk1.5.0_05

Erm... so much to do?

apt-get update

to get refresh updates..

Then,

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server-5.0 phpmyadmin

to install whole suite ^^

Then u need to edit configs and add couple lines:

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Add this:

 # Enable PHPMyAdmin
  Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

And final command

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Done ^^

PS: sorry for mistakes, it's not xampp it's lamp.. i was dead tired so i did not think good lol ..

I dont use apt-get. I thinks its something like pwget but im not too sure as I rarely use linux. I find the .pet files I need on repositories and download them manually then install. I also wasnt trying to use everything in one package because I wanted to try hiawatha web server instead of apache because its supposedly faster. I couldnt get myqsl to work though so I gave up for the moment and might try again later.

Folks - this is totally awesome. This is just what I was looking for. Thank you everyone. Many many thanks.

This was driving me nuts because I could get everything to work. PWServer, phpMyAdmin, Register, everything. Only thing that was holding me up was pwAdmin and/or Iweb.

Thank you so much.

P.S. I am documenting every thing step by step.

Here is where I am now. I installed packages per instructions above. MySQL is running and I can edit it through phpmyadmin. I downloaded pwAdmin and copied the directory under the Tomcat/WebApps folder. Set the premissions.

Problem - when I put in htt://myipaddress/pwAdmin nothing comes up and it says Not Found.

Also, in order to get PWServer running, I will need to edit the start.sh and stop.sh files in the root directory and change JAVA and Tomcat settings. Is that correct?

Did you edit your .pwconf.conf and .pwadminconf.jsp files?

You need to create start-up scripts for tomcat. pwAdmin will load the maps and server files. You also need to edit the java in .profile and .bashrc but only the last few lines where it declares the JAVA_HOME.

Dang i feel dumb. It seems to be working. port 8080, duh.

Server is up and running. But, pwAdmin fails to connect to MySQL. Also, for someone to register, what page allows for registration?

Thanks again for everyones help.

NVM - I got it. I forgot to change the password and database information in the conf file. I must be burnt out.

No to load the client and test it.

Many many thanks for everyones help. Sorry for being such a pain. This is my first time setting up a game server.

thank you thank you thank you.
