[GUIDE] How to get website working for Noobs

[razordemon]

Hey, Today I'm gonna teach you how to make your server website work if you have problems.

Everything you want for your website must be in your Htdocs folder. You have to understand that Htdocs is pretty much your website. You have to Download a website from one of the Links in SiPex's Thread or somewhere if you didn't already do so. This is the Link for SiPex's Thread. [TUTORIAL]Ascent Websites Installation Guide Well anyways, lets continue.

1) Go to No-IP - Dynamic DNS, Static DNS for Your Dynamic IP and make an account.

2) Then after you do that, Add a new service/host. It should say Add a Host at the top with a Bullet point.

3) Now I'm going to use my own example to show you what its like.

Hostname: This is going to be the link to your website. It can be anything you want. --------> mywebsite.servegame.com
Also btw, you also have to choose one the domains below were you put your website name. For me, it was Servegame.com .

Host Type: There are 5 different options here. The one you're looking for is Port 80 Redirect. Click it and the page should change a little.

IP Address: Put your IP Address here. If you don't know, go to What's My IP Address?

Port: Put in 8245 .

Scroll down and Check Mask URL. This prevents other people from seeing your IP Address. After that, Scroll to the very bottom and click 'Create Port Redirect'.

4) Now you gotta do some changing in your Apache and Htdocs Folder inside your Server folder.

5) First, go to your Apache thats inside the Server Folder. Then the Conf folder and then find httpd.conf . Open it with a Notepad or Wordpad.

6) Now we gotta edit some stuff in here.

Find a Line with :
Listen 80
and Change it to this:
Listen 8245

now scroll down, and find:

Servername localhost:80
and change it to:
Servername yourwebsite:8245

And then Save it.


7) Now, Many people have had problems with how to fix the Account Creation Page. Ill show you how it should look like. First go to your Htdocs folder located in your Server folder. Now the name of the Account Creation file can vary but mine says account.php so lets go with that.

Ok now... Lets do some Changing again.
Look at the Top of the file and find these. Make sure it looks like this.

="Name of Server"; ----- change the name within the parentheses
to whatever you want the Page to be called.
="localhost"; -----------Host should look like that.
="root"; 
="ascent"; 
="logon"; --------This is important. Needs to look like that.="localhost";
="root";
="ascent";
="logon"; 
 = 'CP1251';
 = "img/";
 = "DynDns Host/No-Ip Host"; --------Change the Words inside the parentheses to your Ip address or DNS that you can make at either No-IP or DynDnS and Im not talking about the Port 80 Redirect I showed you how to make before.
 = "8129";
=0;
=0;

Hope that didn't confuse you that much.

If you want to see whos online and Stats at the Registration Page, then go to your Ascent Folder, and find Ascent-world.conf or whatever its called.

Find something Like this:

<StatDumper Filename = "stats.xml" Interval = "120000">
and Change it to this:
<StatDumper Filename = "C:/Ac Web Ultimate Repack/Server/htdocs/stats.xml" Interval = "60000"

Now Save it and you're done.

9) Now try opening Apache from Control Panel and it should be working. But also make sure that Mysql is also on so that the Apache / Website can connect to your database.

If you need any help just post or if there are any problems/errors please reply.

Hey i think you should make sure that your have all the Config files correctly filled out. Then try it again. Look back at the Configs files in the guide... Or just show me your config file.
