Server :: Making A Minor Server For An Mmorpg Game That Will Run In House Network Only?
Oct 23, 2010
My Computer options arent great, but i am going to be starting the process of switching all the computers in my house to linux, i wanted to see if i could make a server to connect all of them for file sharing, but mostly for world of warcraft in the house.it would only be 10 computers accessing it at once. i would basically want to know what the best form of linux would be, the programs id need to have, if it could be done on a desktop based machine, or if id have to use my server. if i would need different hardware or if the linksys hardwired router going to be enough connection. i guess the filesharing would be more the pressing need, especially if it is possible to create a server and convert the connected computers to linux through use of the server
i recently installed apache2 mysql php exc. to run a realtime stat site for my servers.the only thing is that the buttons/ images are not showing up.i checked that my GD was up to date and installed perl5 GD. dont know what else to check.my site with problems go to:http://24.20.177.228/stats_public
I have an old clunker box with no HD insalled in it. it does have a cd rom however, and i would be able to run DSL from it with that alone.
i want to set this box up as a print server, since as it is all of the computers in the house must actually be moved to the printer and connected to it via USB to print.
i am looking to simplify this for everyones benefit, here.
the box i am going to use will *not* be connected to a monitor, KB or mouse once it is ready to be left on its own. i will use these to set it up, but after that, id prefer a way to http: into it or FTP into it.
i am on ubuntu, the rest of the house is on XP. i figure i will have to configure the computer with SAMBA in order to set it up for sharing, is that correct?
i will be connecting the computer to the wireless router.
basically, id just like help with a roadmap on what needs to be done to set this up. i dont need step by step directions on everything, just an idea of where to start. id really like to get this setup within a few hours.
I am just checking in I know a lil about linux looking to learn more I know forums are the best way to go. I recently installed centos 5.3 on a machine we are going to be using as a squid server. Just a couple quick ?s and just wanted to pick your alls brains. What I am trying to do with the server is use it for caching to speed up our network t but I don't want to go around to all the our customers to setup their browser for proxy. What all is involved with making this server completely transparent. So the end user will does not need to enter in proxy information.
File information: 3 records in input file found 3 records processed 0 records skipped Load statistics: 3 messages loaded correctly 0 messages ignored 0 messages with errors Details: Destination OK ignored errors correct incorrect not sel. other house Server (def 3 0 0 0 2 1 0
2011-05-17 13:21:27 - Msg 2410 Archiving information: File /path/to/xxx.txt was archived as /path/to/xxx.txt.
Now I want to monitor this "house Server (def" and send alert based on 3 0 0 0 2 1 0 say if [ $5 -gt 0 || $6 -gt 0 ]; then <send email>
I have configured a samba server where I have configured it for /mnt dir to be exported/shared. When I verify this share, I see mnt dir but I want the content inside the mnt to be visible or chroot into mnt directly.
There are a number of USB devices that can make Skype work with an existing home phone network, but most I've seen require Windows to work. I already have an always on headless Linux server running Ubuntu Server 9.04 (no GUI installed), so does anyone know of software and hardware that'll work with my setup to enable one of the analog lines in my home to work with Skype?
Also it seems most of the USB to Phone adapters are being discontinued and Skype doesn't even list any on their site. Do you guys know if they're phasing these devices out?
**Edit: path for mount was incorrect Distro Server: CentOS 5.5
Clients: Fedora(latest) OSX(latest)
Backround I am attempting to setup a server in my house mostly(for the first time) for backups and file sharing. It is important to me that file permissions are preserved. So its my understanding that I must use idmapd in order for this to work. As of now I'm only working with the linux distros while osx will be dealt with once these two work together. portmapper is up and running, along with lockd on both machines. Firewalls are also down on both machines for now. The server side was all setup using the GUI interface with no extra options selected. Problem When attempting to "mount -t nfs4 10.0.0.2/$sharedfolder /mnt" I get an error operation not permitted with no error printing in /var/log/message. If I use "mount -t -o nolock nfs4 10.0.0.2/$sharedfolder /mnt" it mounts just fine. Ive checked both machines multiple times to make sure that lockd is up and running. In the idmapd.conf file I the domain as "localdomain" for both machines but I doubt that is right; like I stated above this is my first attempt at a server. I'm assuming the problem is a whole missing step that involves some kind of id mapping server I need to setup.
I am running a game server on an Ubuntu 11.04 box. The game is Minecraft. The biggest (smallest?) bottleneck for my server is the read/write/access time of data on the hard disk. I feel an SSD could make a huge difference in performance.The Minecraft map is stored in individual region files that are further divided into 'chunks'. Each file is between 64KB and 10MB each (depending on how 'developed' they are). Users are crafting the world and so are constantly loading these files and editing them while playing the game. I'm hoping to have about 15-30 users on at peak times, and 2 or 3 at minimum. The server would be up 24/7.The entirety of the game directory (the map, player data, config file, plugins, etc) is less than 1GB. So I don't need a lot of storage. I will be performing daily backups of the game data to a much larger HDD on the system.Considering this scenario, would you recommend against using an SSD? I've read 'DRAM-based' SSD's do not have write limitations.
I just installed Fedora 13 on my desktop but I can't get it to pick up the wireless network in the house.The desktop has a Linksys AE1000 that can feed off of the wireless router in another room when I boot up in Windows.
I have installed fc12 on my core2due machine, and I have installed the vmware server on it, its rpm is installed successfully with out any error, after that a message is displayed
The installation of VMware Server 2.0.2 for Linux completed successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any time by invoking the following command: "rpm -e VMware-server".
Before running VMware Server for the first time, you need to configure it for your running kernel by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl".
I tried this command and find the this message
[Akram@localhost Downloads]$ su -c "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl" Password: Making sure services for VMware Server are stopped.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] yes
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.4.2", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.4.3". This configuration is not recommended and VMware Server may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.4.3" anyway? [no] yes
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?[/usr/src/linux/include]
Now it asks me in last lines that "What is the location of Directory of C header files that match your running kernal?"
I'm new to, not just SUSE, but Linux(.) I saw the link to the newbie guide However it's asking for information, I choose not to make public, or or known.Also, Any info on running a game server for Source SDK games.
Im new to Linux, so wanted to ask something.I need to install a Curl Library for my Platform in order to run my Game Server.But how do i install it ??Already found the files: [URL]..I have Linux Ubuntu Lucid (10.04)
I'm running relatively overpowered server right now, that all it really does is host files and download movies/music that I might enjoy. I'm just seeking to expand it's capabilities to make life in the house more simple. The first thing I'd like to do is create a kind of automatic grocery list generator concept. Here's how I envision it working.
We create a list of recipes for meals we enjoy, specifically an ingredient list. From this list, we create bi-monthly meal lists; what do we want to have for the next two weeks. The server chews through the two lists, compiles a list of ingredients and how much of each we'd need.. and emails this off to our smart phones for us to refer to while shopping. What equipment do I have? I have a headless Ubuntu server running 10.04 and administered via a GUI and NX Client. Two blackberries (both 9700 Bolds) as portable smart clients that would need to at least receive the list, tho ability to add in would be great.
Home network is a mix of wired and wireless, so no issues there for connectivity. So why post this here? Because I'm at a loss as to the software/configuration part. Doing an automated email daemon is easy to send the list out. And a list of recipes or such is easy to get (dozens of cookbooks in the house, plus a small army of them available online).. the issue I'm having with is how to create/manage the database. I'm not familiar with SQL or any database programming at all. Is there something akin to this already in the repositories? Or is there someone who could point me in the right direction so I can do this?
I need to create a Redhat or CentOS server but I am not really sure where to begin. I'm not sure what network booting and PXE booting is. Are they both the same thing, or are they different? I want to setup one server and two client machines to connect to my server. I would like to be able to load a kickstart CD on my server and have the two client machines boot off that servers kickstart. My concern is, will they boot off the network or do they have to be configured to use PXE booting?
I'm trying to execute X server (automatically), which will not bind to 0.0.0.0 (port 6000) - meaning X server will not listen on generic interface. If it's possible, I'd prefer X server not to listen at all (and communicate through other IPC if needed), is there a way to make it not listening at all? -nolisten flag or something like that? (and do it automatically, every reboot). Also, Is there a way to make X server bind to 127.0.0.1(localhost) instead of 0.0.0.0(generic interface)? It should be in one of the configuration files or the start-up command to run X.
I had a external HD from Lacie that just made me mad because you could only log into it from a windows or mac machine. So I took the 250 HD out and through it in my P3 733Mhz Processor, 128 Ram Dell optiplex. Now My Lacie HD had a Network function on it where It had a webserver and a GUI to manage users to it. But it couldn't never get the HD to turn on for Network. It would only turn on when plugged into a USB. So I want to turn my Dell optiplex into a file server with web gui functionality. How should I start.
I'm running a webserver and i've uploaded serveral .txt files. I want them to be downloadable... For example if someone opens: [URL], to start downloading, not just to open in the browser.
I would like to try making my desktop into a functioning web server on the web, if this is possible. The plan is to have web pages attached to a database where data provided by the users will be stored and to have programs that will process this data to generate new pages or PDF reports. I plan to user FireBird as the database manager and build the front end with Lazarus, if possible. My desktop is a small Acer with a 1TB hard disk. At the moment it has 1 partition containing Windows 7 which I would like to keep, for now. My internet connection is a phone company supplied standard residential high speed. Here are my questions, if this idea is actually possible:How should I partition the disk or is a root and home partition OK? When I install Slackware, is there anything special that I must do? How do I actually let the web know that this server exists? Are there any Slackware specific sites where I can learn how to do this type of stuff?
I have installed the following successfully. Ubuntu Server 9.10 MySQL Apache
Now I wish to make my own mail server for my organisation we already have a ISP server but would like to act this for our local delivery and store mails something like what a daemon does. For this I did the following: Installed fetchmail Installed send mail Installed exim Installed squirell
And now I am completely lost. How do I setup from here. So that I can configure the server. My server spec are: PIV 2.8GHZ, 512MB ram, 80GB HDD, HIS MOtherboard, lan card. I don't have any DNS or other stuff here in our office.
I have had a mailserver die when it still had email that the users hadn't downloaded. I have build a new server an tried to copy the mail across but this caused a issue where users were unable to download any new email.
Is it possible to make the old undelivered email available for download?
old server name lx0.hostname.com (dead) I can get to the data but not start the server. new server name lx1.hostname.com
I want to setup a Linux File Server for a small windows network (around 50 users). I do know that I am gona need Smb service/pkg for that. I haven't used Samba for a while now and as per the best of my knowledge, entire communication (including usernames and passwords) between a samba server & windows client machines will be plain text. Is there any way to secure all this communication??
Secondly, if i remember correctly, MS windows wont let me mount more than one samba shares as network disk when all my shares can be accessed by different smb users with different passwords?? is there a solution to this problem? OR may be if there is any other package available for this purpose so that i wont have to use samba?
I've gotten VNC setup and working well on our LAN. The next step we want to do is making it acessible from the web, so we can remotely do things with the office files.Unfortunately, I have no idea how to go about this.Our current setup is a router which connects to the phone line, and into which other devices are connected. We're in one room of a big office building which may complicate matters somewhat.Can anyone provide a bit of general info on this topic. Give me somewhere to start ?Ultimately we want to be able to connect to the vnc port from anywhere in the world.
Making a Samba Server with LDAP authentication. Will post as I go along. Found these sources, anything/hiccups I should know before jumping in? Figure would follow the official documentation then check the others for comparative errors.
Need confirmation if the following scenario works for making my client and server as identical?
My local(source) Linux server @192.168.0.2 My remote Linux client @192.168.0.70 On the local system : #df -m Filesystem Mounted on /dev/hda3 / /dev/hda1 /boot tmpfs /dev/shm
On the local system , issue the followings to make client and server as identical : #dump -0uvf - /dev/hda3 | ssh root@192.168.0.70 -c "restore -rf - /" #dump -0uvf - /dev/hda1 | ssh root@192.168.0.70 -c "restore -rf - /boot" #dump -0uvf - /dev/shm | ssh root@192.168.0.70 -c "restore -rf - /tmpfs"
Is SUBJ possible? For example: I have 1 disk with ext2 (ext3) partition and information written on it. I want to make a mirror using the disk. I put this one and another unformatted one into a server, create an appropriate /etc/raiddraive, and do mkraid. Shall I get a mirror witn intact information from the first disk? If not, are there any ways to do so?
