Ok basically i set up the database
Set up the CentOs with server files
patched client

but it wont connect me
i created users in the database
and a user for the database

couple of dumb questions

when you have SQL IP in centOs is that localhost or is it my ip/network ip?

do i need to portforward for localhost testing?

does it matter if i used chumpy's 2.5 repack database or another (same probably) database?

is the IP when patching the client going to be 127.0.0.1 or localhost, or CentOs's IP

thanks to chumpy and a bunch of other people i managed to get this far
im pretty close! i can smell the 4slot forcium :D

The SQL ip in the CentOS will be your LAN ip ..

Try reading this .. for the ports you need to forward
http://forum.ragezone.com/f460/a-bas...se-etc-545188/

The IP you will be using in your patch (internal.txt and serverlist.txt) will be your CentOS ip

The 3rd question .. i dont know yet how will i answer it .. just wait for someone's reply

Port forwarding is only needed if you have a router and you want outside people to be able to play. The networking guide should show you how to work out if you have a router or not.

The IP in the client internal.txt should be your WAN IP if you want external players and the centos IP if not.

for more info about port forwarding there are some great guides on the tutorial section.
