Linux Server

Learn how to start a Linux server following these simple steps.

  • 1. Open terminal (You can use PuTTy).
  • 2. Create a new user for the server (You can skip this but it is highly recommended that you do). 
    sudo useradd -d /home/vcmpserver -m vcmp
  • 2. Now disconnect and login with the new user account and make sure you're on this directory 
     /home/vcmpserver/
  • 3.
    • (FOR 64-bit USERS) Download the server by pasting this in the terminal: 
      wget http://v04.maxorator.com/server/VCMP04_server_v15_linux64.zip
    • (FOR 32-bit USERS) Download the x86 server by pasting this in the terminal 
      wget http://v04.maxorator.com/server/VCMP04_server_v15_linux32.zip
  • 4. Unzip the server by typing (If this doesn't work install unzip using: sudo apt-get install unzip): 
     unzip VCMP04_server_v15_linux64.zip
    For 32 bit: 
     unzip VCMP04_server_v15_linux32.zip
  • 4. Make a new directory for the plugins using: 
     mkdir plugins
  • 5.
    • (FOR 64-bit USERS) Download the plugins pack: 
       wget http://v04.maxorator.com/files/plugins/mp04rc2_plugins64_linux.zip
    • (FOR 32-bit USERS) Download the plugins pack: 
       wget http://v04.maxorator.com/files/plugins/mp04rc2_plugins32_linux.zip
  • 6. Extract the plugins: 
     unzip mp04rc2_plugins64_linux.zip OR unzip mp04rc2_plugins32_linux.zip
  • 7. Now go back to the server directory using: 
     cd /home/vcmpserver
  • 5. Open the server.cfg file and change the server name and the rest of the stuff using nano (Press CTRL+X than Y to save and close it when done): 
     nano server.cfg
  • 6. Set permissions using 
     chmod +x ./mpsvrrel64
    For 32 bit: 
    chmod +x ./mpsvrrel32
  • 7. Run the server using 
    ./mpsvrrel64
    For 32bit: 
    ./mpsvrrel32
To keep the server running after closing the terminal we'll use screen: 
screen ./mpsvrrel64
For 32-bit: 
screen ./mpsvrrel32
To view the server console after you've closed the terminal once use: 
screen -r
To close the server press while viewing the console: 
CTRL+C

(IN CASE YOU'RE USING THE ROOT USER MAKE A NEW DIRECTORY FOR THE SERVER USING: mkdir vcmpserver)
