| 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. | |
| 39 bin/.sysdef etc/conf.sysdef | |
| 40 bin/.motd etc/motd | |
| 41 bin/.motd.wc etc/motd.wc | |
| 42 bin/.cluephrases etc/cluephrases | |
| 43 bin/.rsa.keys etc/rsa.keys | |
| 44 | |
| 45 Some other files you may want to be aware of are: | |
| 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. | |
| 52 logs/listen.pid The Process ID # of the latest listen process run. |
