php, and map cycling?
I want to open a racing server, and I asked Animuson how to cycle maps and he said you need to configure your "php" but I have NO clue what php is or how to cycle maps...
Please help!

php is a programming language, especially popular for generating dynamic websites such as this. This map rotator also uses it:

so you need it installed on your system.
Alternatively to the external rotator, you can use a server from the 0.3 development series, they have map and config rotation built in.

I hven't looked at my map rotator in some time, so I don't remember if I did anything linux-specific in it or not. I may have. I'm willing to help you get it working, but you'll have to post error messages and tracebacks.
And wrtlprnft is right, "not known to work in windows" doesn't mean "doesn't work in windows". Just that nobody has tried it. I usually use what's considered best practices in the python world for cross-platform programming. So I've actually written python programs that I couldn't test in windows or mac os x that, when tested by somebody else, worked without modification. So give it a shot, eh?

If you get server version 0.3.1 or compile the latest trunk you can use the built in map/config rotation engine.Blaze wrote:I want to open a racing server, and I asked Animuson how to cycle maps and he said you need to configure your "php" but I have NO clue what php is or how to cycle maps...
