make sure you have an connection with mysql,if you now use that. open your config.ini,and make sure everything is right in there,if it isnt connected,as i belive,it will go black and close down,not sure thought,but u can look.

This is Really a Good Guide

I Have Figured out Most of this, However. Portals are causing me headaches lol. Cant seem to make any and have them show on the maps. Did u cover this somewhere? Thanks in Advance

HI emil you seem rly good and i got a probelm I cant seem to connect to my server and I think i set up everythign right its just when i try to log it always says i have a maintence

1. Changed my config and added my ip
2. loged into phpmyadmin and ran backup file
2. Ran my source to make the blackscreen and says i successfuly got it in and got no errors
3. Change my server.dat to my ip ( i have 5017 client )
4. made an account with php admin
5. try logging in but i get a maintance pop up

I really dont know what im doing wrong

@bozzman
Some portals wont work because you did not add them. Im not sure,since I cant look atm ( computer broken ) , it should be a file in the folder where the source is and ****,that is named portal. Just add the mapid,coordx and coordy and it should be working.

@quadruple1
Hm.. Im not so sure,but you can test this: Go into phpmyadmin , then into all the tables, not the server files and ****,the other tables,and you should find stuffs where you can write ip adress'es and ****. Write urs there and try that. Also have you opened your ports to the router?

I did open all my ports, but i dont know what you mean by tables I go to phpmyadmin and dont see anything. If you mean the database called phpmyadmin I only see pma_tablecoords and pma_table_info.

If you have msn can you PM me it if you dont mine...:/
