Manual Installation Guide

Manual installation guide

Replace everything between < and > e.g. (</path/to/web-server/> to /var/www/tracker)

Download and prepare the files.

Download the latest release here and move it to your web server directory or use your terminal:

cd </path/to/web-server/>

git clone https://github.com/AunePVP/Game-Server-Query-and-Control-Center

Create a config file

echo "<?php" > Game-Server-Query-and-Control-Center/html/config.php

Set the correct permissions for the files

find Game-Server-Query-and-Control-Center -type d -exec chmod 770 {} \;
find Game-Server-Query-and-Control-Center -type f -exec chmod 640 {} \;
find Game-Server-Query-and-Control-Center/html/type/arkse/ -type f -exec chmod 660 {} \;

Determine the user the web server is running as. (most likely www-data) Give the web server access to the files and set the correct permissions for the config file.

sudo chown -R $USER:<webserverusername> Game-Server-Query-and-Control-Center
sudo chown <webserverusername>:$USER Game-Server-Query-and-Control-Center/html/config.php
sudo chmod 640 Game-Server-Query-and-Control-Center/html/config.php

If you don't want to run the web app in it's on directory (https://yourdomain.com/Game-Server-Query-and-Control-Center-1.0.0-alpha/index.php), move every file and directory into the current folder.

mv Game-Server-Query-and-Control-Center/* .
rm -r Game-Server-Query-and-Control-Center;

Create database

Log in to mysql

sudo mysql

Do you have a mysql user? If not:

CREATE USER <username>@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '<yoursecurepassword>';

Create the database. I called my database "tracker". You can use this name or use your own name.

CREATE DATABASE <DBName> /*\!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 */;

Give permissions to access the database

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON <DBName>.* TO '<username>'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Create a table for the login/registration

USE <DBName>;
CREATE TABLE users (id INT auto_increment PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, username VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, password VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, server JSON NOT NULL, sprite VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL, seed VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL);

Exit mysql

exit

After completing all steps, move to Web configuration.
