Here is the first version of our brand new tools. This tools allows you to start, configure and manage easily your dedicated server.
For the moment, you can only start a server with standard titles.
a little tips: use this tools with windows, for Linux users think grant to correct rights to your web server user
To get this work, you need:
- A web server with short tags enabled
- A MySQL server
- The latest version of the dedicated server
- Gettext for php
- PHP executable in command line and configured for ManiaLive
1°) Download the archive attached to this post. It contains the DedicatedManager itself, manialive with the needed plugin, and a SQL script to create the database.
2°) Unzip it wherever you want on your server
3°) Use your SQL Manager (phpMyAdmin, HeidiSQL, etc.) to import Manager.sql, this will create the database and its tables
4°) Edit the DedicatedManager's config file (DedicatedManager/config/app.ini) and give the correct values to the following parameters:
application.URL
database.use
database.password
DedicatedManager\Config.dedicatedPath
DedicatedManager\Config.manialivePath
5°) Create the alias manager on your web server. This alias must linked to the www folder in DedicatedManager
Protips
If you want to restrict access to the manager, you have two solutions. Whether you can use an htaccess file, whether you can use our OAuth API, by deactivating lanMode. Only admins can create servers.
