3 This file is for people already experienced with the server, who may also
|
|
|
4 be currently running their own server. It only explains the changes from
|
|
|
5 the administration of a 2.3 server to the administration of a 2.4 server.
|
|
|
6 If you do not know how the server functions read the file README.Admin
|
|
|
7 instead, as this file simply explains what is different from the old setup
|
|
|
8 to this, and how to convert an old server's database and other config files
|
|
|
9 to the new setup.
|
|
|
10
|
|
|
11 The server now uses the NETREKDIR environment variable as a pointer to the
|
|
|
12 root of the directory structure, rather than it being a pointer to the bin
|
|
|
13 directory. The various different directories are:
|
|
|
14
|
|
|
15 backups/ -- where the dbbackup script stores backup files.
|
|
|
16 bin/ -- the bin directory, this ONLY has binaries and scripts.
|
|
|
17 docs/ -- this documentation directory
|
|
|
18 etc/ -- where the configuration files, database files and
|
|
|
19 other random files used by the server are stored.
|
|
|
20 logs/ -- where logfiles and pid files are stored.
|
|
|
21 pics/ -- where motd pictures can be stored, this is not enforced
|
|
|
22 pped/ -- Heath Kehoes player database editor.
|
|
|
23 rsa/ -- the RSA files, this directory is empty due to the
|
|
|
24 copyrights involved with RSA. If you desired RSA
|
|
|
25 security you may be able to get the files, however
|
|
|
26 it is not required to run the server (and very few
|
|
|
27 people use it).
|
|
|
28 src/ -- where the source files are located.
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
30 For the server to run as it did before adjust the following files
|
|
|
31 appropriately:
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
33 Old Location New Location Notes
|
|
|
34 ------------ ------------ -----
|
|
|
35 bin/.global etc/db.global
|
|
|
36 bin/.players etc/db.players
|
|
|
37 bin/.hours etc/conf.hours
|
|
|
38 bin/.pics etc/conf.pics adjust the paths accordingly.

|
|
|
46
|
|
|
47 etc/conf.netrekdir a 1 line file specifying the location of your
|
|
|
48 NETREKDIR, which may be used by scripts and
|
|
|
49 binaries if they cannot find the NETREKDIR
|
|
|
50 environment variable.
|
|
|
51 logs/daemonII.pid The process ID # of the current daemon running.
