Configuring and running Ryzom Core server on GNU/Linux

...

Tip

If your frontend service is available through a firewall using NAT and a mapped IP address this is how you can advertise that external IP address. For example if your FS is on 192.168.1.100 internally but your firewall maps 74.125.225.210 through to your FS you would want to configure FSListenHost to be the address the clients connect to: 74.125.225.210.

 

 

Configuring Apache and web tools

...

chmod a+w code/ryzom/tools/server/admin/graphs_output
chmod a+w code/ryzom/tools/server/admin/templates/default_c
chmod a+w code/ryzom/tools/server/www/login/logs
chmod a+w code/ryzom/tools/server/ryzom_ams/www/html/cache
chmod a+w code/ryzom/tools/server/ryzom_ams/www/html/templates_c

 

Setting up MySQL

Note

The configuration files in

  • code/ryzom/server
  • code/ryzom/tools/server/ryzom_ams/www/config.default.php
  • code/ryzom/tools/server/admin/config.php
  • code/ryzom/tools/server/www/login/config.php

expect your user to be named 'shard' with NO PASSWORD. If you decide to use a different name for your MySQL user, or assign it a password, you will need to go through the files and change these values from 'shard' and "" wherever they appear. (they appear in several .cfg files)

Since this (and a password) can lead to unexpected errors (eg. error '4000') it is best to make sure everything works correctly with the defaults first.

Warning
titleParse Error

If you are getting strange errors some config files may have Windows editor "control-M" endline characters, which appears as a blue ^M in vim. You can remove it with this vi command, noting that ^M is typed by pressing Ctrl+V followed by Ctrl+M:

Code Block
languagebash
find /home/username/ryzom/code -name "*.cfg" -name "*.php" | xargs grep -l '^M'
 
# if there are none, Vim will gladly eat your shell if you xargs it
vi <listed filename> 
 
# Next issue this command to vi :%s/^M//g

Running MySQL Auto Install

Ryzom AMS now includes auto install scripts for the mysql database, all you have to do is load your DocumentRoot on port 80 that was setup above, for example http://127.0.0.1

Tip
titleRunning and Monitor the Shard
  • To start: shard start
  • To stop: shard stop
  • To view screen: shard join
  • To switch monitored service: Ctrl-A+n


 To make the shard start on boot use the below init script

If you want to use your shard with the core client, you will have to copy the following file into code/ryzom/common/data_common:
