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

...

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

 

  • Make sure the directory's requiring write permissions is writeable by all.
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.

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, you will need to change "export RYZOM_PATH=/home/username/ryzom/code/ryzom" to your path
