Setting up a PHP server script

[TelGod]

Does anyone know how to set up a PHP server script? I've searched online for instructions, but I only find the scripts themselves. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

like this http://crazy-tronners.com/wiki/index.ph ... g_a_Server

only now there are a few more things you can do a bit better than that, but that should still work.

You can use that or you can take the full tutorial here: http://wiki.armagetronad.org/index.php/ ... u_Computer

Yes use this.
Then when you have a server up, with the script of your choosing in the /scripts directory, type

Code: Select all

SPAWN_SCRIPT scriptname.php

into the server console, or in the config file.

Thank you for the help. I really am grateful! By the way, I have had problems where people can't play on my server because they don't have my map on their computer. Does anyone know how to make the maps available to them so they can get on the server without having to download the map manually?

Yes, I do

[nux]

Yes, I do

Oh, i know how to too, what a coincidence.

[TelGod]

Well, can anyone tell me how?

[nux]

Im sure somebody can.

Ok, thats enough. You need to put the file in an http server and then just put the link in your server config, something like.

map_file yourname/type/file.xml(http://example.com/yourname/type/file.xml)

I dont think the path you use on the http server really matters, and i probably got something wrong, im just pointing you in the right direction.

To be precise, and to use an example that is similar to other things on the wiki.

This example assumes that you are using apache2 which uses /var/www as the root directory for the webserver.

I have created the map mynewmap.xml.

I store it in the directory /var/www/resource/compguygene/mynewmap.xml

My domain name is compguygene.tk

Code: Select all

MAP_FILE  /resource/compguygene/mynewmap.xml/ (http://www.compguygene.tk/resource/compguygene/mynewmap.xml) 

Would be the command in my config file.

I will most likely need to add

Code: Select all

RESOURCE_REPOSITORY_SERVER http://www.compguygene.tk/
RESOURCE_REPOSITORY_CLIENT http://www.compguygene.tk/

as the default for these 2 commands is the normal armagetronad repository and you need it to point to your's.

It's pretty much that the map must exist in a remote web server (a website for instance).

The default location for all maps are pointed towards: http://six.resource.aa.dashjr.org/resource/ which is where most of the maps are stored. I have to admit, this is also quite a stable place to store them too but you will need to contact the admins if you want to store your files there.

As for downloading remote maps. When the map doesn't exist locally, the REPOSITORY_RESOURCE_SERVER/CLIENT will download the map from that web url you put in.

The other method to directly download map from different urls is to use the (...) method where you place the entire link to the file.

Hope this clarifies things for you
