Final Server Steps

Initialize Servers

Initialize the auth and world servers for the first time:

Terminal window
# Navigate to the bin directory
cd ~/SylCore/bin


# Start the authserver
# Wait until you see "Authserver initialized successfully. Ready for connections!" message
# Then press Ctrl+C to stop it
./authserver


# Start the worldserver
# Wait until you see "World initialized" message
# Then press Ctrl+C to stop it
./worldserver


# Return to the home directory
cd ~/

Configure Server IP

Set up your server IP for client connections:

Terminal window
# Show current IP setting
sudo mysql -e "SELECT address FROM acore_auth.realmlist WHERE id = 1\G"


# Update the IP address (replace 192.168.1.100 with your actual server IP)
sudo mysql -e "UPDATE acore_auth.realmlist SET address = '192.168.1.100' WHERE id = 1;" acore_auth


# Verify the change
sudo mysql -e "SELECT address FROM acore_auth.realmlist WHERE id = 1\G"

First Start

Starting the servers:

Terminal window
# Navigate to the bin directory
cd ~/SylCore/bin


# Start the authserver in a detached tmux session
tmux new-session -d -s authserver './authserver'


# Start the worldserver in a detached tmux session
tmux new-session -d -s worldserver './worldserver'


# Check that the authserver and worldserver session is running
tmux ls


# Open tmux sessions
tmux session-attach -t authserver
tmux session-attach -t worldserver
