Configuring and running Ryzom Core

...

Web Services on GNU/Linux

Preparing Packages

For Debian/Ubuntu users you will need to install the following packages:

Making changes in services config files

• Change FSListenHost in code/ryzom/server/frontend_service.cfg to your address (e.g. 192.168.0.1). If you set up server on different machine, remember it has to be address that's reachable on client host.

Configuring Apache and web tools

• Ubuntu user: Don't forget to install php5-mysql synaptic packet and to uncomment "extension=mysql.so" into "php.ini" file to allow mysql connection from php code.

• Configure Apache with PHP. Make a VirtualHost (usually in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf) for the login scripts and admin app (replace DocumentRoot with your own path).

Listen 40916
<VirtualHost *:40916>
  <Directory "/home/username/ryzom/code/ryzom/tools/server/">
     Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
     IndexOptions FancyIndexing FoldersFirst NameWidth=*
     AllowOverride All
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
  </Directory> 
  ServerAdmin admin@localhost
  DocumentRoot /home/username/ryzom/code/ryzom/tools/server/www
  ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
  <Directory "/home/username/ryzom/code/ryzom/tools/server/">
     Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
     IndexOptions FancyIndexing FoldersFirst NameWidth=*
     AllowOverride All
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
  </Directory> 
  ServerAdmin admin@localhost
  DocumentRoot /home/username/ryzom/code/ryzom/tools/server/admin
  ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

• Restart Apache by typing the following.

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

...

VHost

Create a public web directory and point a VHost to it.

Point a second VHost to the same directory with port 40916

Upload

Upload the following to your public web directory of your PHP host

/code/web/public_php

Upload the following to a private directory accessible by your PHP host

/code/web/private_php

Setup

Run the following script and follow the instructions

http://<hostname>/setup/

This script will create a config.php under the public php directory, and set up the nel, nel_tool and ams databases.

Additional Notes

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

...

• Set NELTOOL_SITEBASE to your server address and NELTOOL_SYSTEMBASE to your path in code/ryzom/tools/server/admin/config.php.

• Create code/ryzom/server/save_shard/rrd_graphs/ directory.

mkdir -p code/ryzom/server/save_shard/rrd_graphs/

...

• Restart Apache by typing the following.

/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

...

• Change $LogRelativePath to 'logs/' in code/ryzom/tools/server/www/login/config.php (NOTE: log directory has to be writeable by webserver and it's not wise to give it write access to the directory where script is.)

$LogRelativePath = 'logs/';

...

...

chmod a+w

...

 code/ryzom/tools/server/admin/templates/

...

default

...

_c

...

chmod a+w

...

Setting up MySQL

NOTE:
The configuration files in code/ryzom/server 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 .cfg files and change these values from 'shard' and "" wherever they appear. (they appear in several of the .cfg files)
Since this (and a password) can lead to unexpected errors (eg. error '4000',) it's best to make sure everything works OK with defaults first.

Parse Warning:
If you get weird 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 (^M is done by pressing Ctrl+V followed by Ctrl+M):

ryzom/code# find . -name "*.cfg" -name "*.php" | xargs grep -l '^M'
vim <listed filename> # if there are none, Vim will gladly eat your shell if you xargs it
:%s/^M//g

You may also skip this section and use the next section entitled "Setting up MySQL (Alternative)". It condenses all the steps listed below into a pre-generated MySQL file that you import.

• Remove STRICT_TRANS_TABLES from sql_mode in your MySQL configuration. You can check if you have it by doing

SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_name='sql_mode';

• Or can run an SQL query within your database management tool, such as phpMyAdmin:

SET @@global.sql_mode= '';

• Prepare MySQL databases

...

...

code/ryzom/tools/server/www/login/

...

logs

chmod a+w code/ryzom/tools/server

...

/ryzom_

...

• Change code/ryzom/tools/server/sql/ryzom_admin_default_data.sql replacing /home/nevrax/code/ryzom/server/save_shard/rrd_graphs by your directory.

• Popoulate databases with default data

...

ams/www/

chmod a+w code/ryzom/tools/server

...

/ryzom_

...

• In MySQL update host for admin app. Change YOUR_ADDRESS to your address (e.g. 192.168.0.1).

USE nel_tool;
UPDATE neltool_domains SET domain_as_host='YOUR_ADDRESS' where domain_id=12;

• If you plan to make your shard public, consider this:

< Kaetemi> and only the SU, FS and web services should have a public ip, the other should be behind private for security reasons :)

Setting up MySQL (Alternative)

Download the following sql file:

https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B3LX3q7MsUEGNjdkMTJlZDItMzZlNy00Y2M0LTg0ODctMGI5MTExNjEzNTlk

Edit the file and replace the following path with your own:

/home/ryzom/code/ryzom/server/save_shard/rrd_graphs

Import in phpMyAdmin.

Running the shard

• Make sure $RYZOM_PATH is set correctly: export RYZOM_PATH="/home/user/ryzom/code/ryzom"

• If you did a CMake build you will need to copy the compiled binaries to their proper locations before running shard start:

From location: /home/user/ryzom/code run:

cp ./build/bin/ryzom_admin_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/ryzom_admin_service/ryzom_admin_service
cp ./build/bin/ryzom_ai_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/ai_service/ai_service
cp ./build/bin/ryzom_backup_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/backup_service/backup_service
cp ./build/bin/ryzom_dynamic_scenario_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/dynamic_scenario_service/dynamic_scenario_service
cp ./build/bin/ryzom_entities_game_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/entities_game_service/entities_game_service
cp ./build/bin/ryzom_frontend_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/frontend_service/frontend_service

cp ./build/bin/ryzom_logger_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/logger_service/logger_service
cp ./build/bin/ryzom_mail_forum_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/mail_forum_service/mail_forum_service
cp ./build/bin/ryzom_mirror_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/mirror_service/mirror_service
cp ./build/bin/ryzom_naming_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/ryzom_naming_service/ryzom_naming_service
cp ./build/bin/ryzom_pd_support_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/pd_support_service/pd_support_service
cp ./build/bin/ryzom_persistant_data_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/persistant_data_service/persistant_data_service
cp ./build/bin/ryzom_reference_builder_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/pd_reference_builder/pd_reference_builder
cp ./build/bin/ryzom_session_browser_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/session_browser_server/session_browser_server
cp ./build/bin/ryzom_shard_unifier_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/shard_unifier_service/shard_unifier_service
cp ./build/bin/ryzom_tick_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/tick_service/tick_service
cp ./build/bin/ryzom_welcome_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/ryzom_welcome_service/ryzom_welcome_service

You'll need to install the GD module for php5 before rrdtool will work properly:

Ubuntu users: sudo apt-get install php5-gd

• Remember to have path to the scripts in your PATH. You'll need screen app for this script.
  (Great screen how-to at: http://www.rackaid.com/resources/linux-screen-tutorial-and-how-to/ )

• Ubuntu users, the 'shard/screen' scripts included will not work properly with the default 'dash' shell included in order to fix this run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash" and select "no". Alternatively you could modify both code/ryzom/tools/scripts/linux/shard andcode/ryzom/server/shard.screen.rc and find/replace any /bin/sh to /bin/bash.

• Run commands:

export PATH=$PATH:$RYZOM_PATH/tools/scripts/linux
shard start

and of course to stop services:

shard stop 

You should now have 20 Ryzom Core services running. You can monitor each running service using screen by:

momentarily pressing "ctrl" and "a" together and then press "n" to cycle through.

Client login errors

• If your client gives you error messages on connect, check Client Connect Errors.

Notes

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:

...

ams/www/html/cache

chmod a+w code/ryzom/tools/server/ryzom_ams/www/html/templates_c
