Configuring and running Ryzom Core server on GNU/Linux

Preparing Packages

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

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-mysql php5-gd rrdtool screen

 

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.

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

For current Ubuntu versions you can just edit the file default in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ - substituting what is listed below for what is already there. It may be helpful to break this into multiple site configuration files but isn't necesasry.

Don't forget to change the paths used below to match where your source is checked out!

Main Login Site
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>
Main Web Site
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName localhost
  DocumentRoot "/home/username/ryzom/code/ryzom/tools/server/ryzom_ams/www/html/"
  Alias /admin/ /home/username/ryzom/code/ryzom/tools/server/admin/
  <Directory "/home/username/ryzom/code/ryzom/tools/server/admin/">
    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    IndexOptions FancyIndexing FoldersFirst NameWidth=*
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    DirectoryIndex index.php
 
    AddType text/html .php .phps
    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

You can place these into the same configuration file or separately, it's up to you. If you want to serve up some unique content, a signup page or something along those lines you can change the main website's DocumentRoot so long as the admin tool alias is still there.

Advanced Configuration Topics

In order to execute system commands like restarting services you will need to be able to log in as root or execute the command using sudo, e.g.:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
  • Restart Apache by typing the following.
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
  • Create code/ryzom/server/save_shard/rrd_graphs/ directory.
mkdir -p code/ryzom/server/save_shard/rrd_graphs/
  • Make sure thedirectory'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

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.

Parse 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:

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

 

 

Setting up 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


A page will load that looks like the below, type in your mysql root user/pass.

 The installer will by default setup permissions for the user "shard" if you want to use a different user you will need to run the below sql statements.

Create Database and Grant Privileges
GRANT ALL ON nel.* TO newuser@localhost;
GRANT ALL ON nel_tool.* TO newuser@localhost;
GRANT ALL ON ring_open.* TO newuser@localhost;

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

 

Running the shard

If you're running on Ubuntu or Debian, the default shell is actually dash and the shard/screen scripts will not run correctly in dash. The steps following will have you switch to bash. If you want to keep using dash as the default shell then you will need change the shebang from /bin/sh to /bin/bash in the following files:

  • code/ryzom/tools/scripts/linux/shard
  • code/ryzom/server/shard.screen.rc

Great screen how-to at: http://www.rackaid.com/resources/linux-screen-tutorial-and-how-to/

  • Run commands:
# if you're on Ubuntu or Debian - disable dash:
[[ `lsb_release -si` = 'Ubuntu' ]] || [[ `lsb_release -si` = 'Debian' ]] &&\
    # Change your selection to 'no' so it uses bash instead.
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
echo "export RYZOM_PATH=/home/user/ryzom/code/ryzom" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=$PATH:$RYZOM_PATH/tools/scripts/linux" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

 

  • Start the shard by typing: shard start

Running 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

Service Script

#!/bin/sh

# chkconfig: 235 99 10

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:
