[Guide] Linux Server Setup

[Rouslan]

This is simple and quick guide for Linux

first And Always update your linux software.

Now.


find or create a directory to install ascent = "installdir"

type the following command lines:
-

svn co svn://emupedia.com/svn/ascent/
cd ascent/branches/1_7_stable
autoreconf --install --force
./configure
make
make install
mkdir etc

(if any of these doesnt work, you do not have the proper linux software updated/installed) as different newer versions changed some of the directives and commands
-

Very Important

Linux is case sensitive, make sure these are typed as shown.

copy conf files to the newly made "etc" directory
example : cp

installdir/ascent/branches/1_7_stable/src/*.conf installdir/ascent/branches/1_7_stable/etc

edit your conf files
example : "vi ascent.conf" (ascent.conf* logonserver.conf* realms.conf*)

note** type "i" to edit - ":wq" to save and close - ":q!" to close and not save

go into your "bin" folder -->> installdir/ascent/branches/1_7_stable/bin

type - mkdir maps
type - mkdir DBC
type - mkdir scripts
type - mkdir logs

add your DBC files into your DBC directory

add your maps files into your maps directory (not needed)

add your scripts into your scripts directory (not needed)

go back to your "bin" directory
start the logonserver by typing -->> ./logonserver
start your ascent server by typing -->> ./ascent

for public ascess -

open ports 3306,8129,3724,8093
give out your "realmlist.wtf" -->> set realmlist yourIP

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Database Install -
svn co http://projects.emupedia.com/svn/ncdb
(user = anonymous :: pass = "leave this blank")
edit tool.sh
./tool.sh

choose "c"
then, choose "w"

All done. You now have the most uptodate stable WoW emulated server, ready to go.

Enjoy

OMG! Its not a bad distro just because it dosent come with subversion! gosh Gentoo docent come with it (it has cvs: ind you it does have an ebuild)
Portage is the greatest tool ever better then Cpanel

If you are new to linux and dont have subversion you may need to compile it

(there will be info here subversion.tigris.org

if you are on gentoo you can

emerge subversion


Cheers thanks for the info bud
