(9/19/94:Brandon) This file is for people already experienced with the server, who may also be currently running their own server. It only explains the changes from the administration of a 2.3 server to the administration of a 2.4 server. If you do not know how the server functions read the file README.Admin instead, as this file simply explains what is different from the old setup to this, and how to convert an old server's database and other config files to the new setup. The server now uses the NETREKDIR environment variable as a pointer to the root of the directory structure, rather than it being a pointer to the bin directory. The various different directories are: backups/ -- where the dbbackup script stores backup files. bin/ -- the bin directory, this ONLY has binaries and scripts. docs/ -- this documentation directory etc/ -- where the configuration files, database files and other random files used by the server are stored. logs/ -- where logfiles and pid files are stored. pics/ -- where motd pictures can be stored, this is not enforced pped/ -- Heath Kehoes player database editor. rsa/ -- the RSA files, this directory is empty due to the copyrights involved with RSA. If you desired RSA security you may be able to get the files, however it is not required to run the server (and very few people use it). src/ -- where the source files are located. For the server to run as it did before adjust the following files appropriately: Old Location New Location Notes ------------ ------------ ----- bin/.global etc/db.global bin/.players etc/db.players bin/.hours etc/conf.hours bin/.pics etc/conf.pics adjust the paths accordingly. bin/.sysdef etc/conf.sysdef bin/.motd etc/motd bin/.motd.wc etc/motd.wc bin/.cluephrases etc/cluephrases bin/.rsa.keys etc/rsa.keys Some other files you may want to be aware of are: etc/conf.netrekdir a 1 line file specifying the location of your NETREKDIR, which may be used by scripts and binaries if they cannot find the NETREKDIR environment variable. logs/daemonII.pid The process ID # of the current daemon running. logs/listen.pid The Process ID # of the latest listen process run.
