View source for Running your own server

==Introduction==


This page should hopefully make getting your own Lugdunon server up and running a little bit easier. It is assumed that you have at least some knowledge in basic networking, executing java .jar files, and how to use the command line.


The server does require java (preferably the latest version so that all the latest security fixes are available), but should run fine on earlier versions (1.6+). You can check your version of java by typing <code>java -version</code> on the command line.


==Setting up the server==


If you are upgrading an existing installation, you can download just the <code>lugdunon-server.jar</code> [http://alpha.lugdunon.net/release/current/lugdunon-server.jar here].

Otherwise, the lastest server release is available as either a [http://alpha.lugdunon.net/release/current/lugdunonServer.zip .zip] or a [http://alpha.lugdunon.net/release/current/lugdunonServer.tar.gz .tar.gz] file. Once you have downloaded one of the two above archives, decompress it in a convenient location.


Your file structure should now look like this:


* <code>/lugdunonServer</code>
** <code>/dat</code>
*** <code>server.cfg</code>
** <code>lugdunon-server.jar</code>
** <code>run.bat</code>
** <code>run.sh</code>


Now open the <code>/lugdunonServer/dat/server.cfg</code> file in your favorite plaintext editor and enter the following information into this file:

<code>
server.name=Your Server Name<br/>
host       =ip address or host name to bind to<br/>
su.account =your super user's lugdunon account name<br/>
su.password=your super user's lugdunon account password<br/>
</code>


Save and close the <code>/lugdunonServer/dat/server.cfg</code>.


Once the above steps have been completed you should be able to launch the server by executing the provided run.bat file for windows or the run.sh file for unix/linux/macosx. On startup the server will recognize that it is missing a world definition and attempt to create a default one for you. If everything has been set up correctly, you should see the server start up cleanly and something akin to the following written to the console:
