Installing the support files

After installing PvPGN (whether from source or binary package) you will need to also install the PvPGN support files.

Download the PvPGN support files from:
http://pvpgn-files.ath.cx/pvpgn-support-1.0.tar.gz
or get pvpgn-support-1.0.tar.gz from http://pvpgn.berlios.de/index.php?page=files

Unpack the tarball and put the files into /var/files/

The next step is to configure your server:

Configuring your server

The configuration files are located in the etc directory within the directory where PvPGN was installed. The most important of these is bnetd.conf, the main server configuration file.

The main thing that needs to be set up here is the storage mode. You will have decided before whether you are going to use File, CDB, MySQL or PostgreSQL for storage. Scroll down to the option labeled “storage_path”. If you want to use File mode, then nothing needs to be changed here, the default settings should work fine.

An example setup for file mode:
storage_path = file:dir=/usr/local/var/users;clan=/usr/local/var/clans;default=/usr/local/etc/bnetd_default_user

dir = Directory where the user account files are stored
clan = Directory where the clan files are stored
default = The “default user”. This is a template that will be used whenever a new user is created.

An example setup for CDB mode:
storage_path = cdb:dir=/usr/local/pvpgn/var/userscdb;clan=/usr/local/pvpgn/var/clans;default=/usr/local/pvpgn/etc/bnetd_default_user.cdb

dir = Directory where user account CDB files are stored
clan = Directory where clan CDB files are stored
default = The “default user”. This is a template that will be used whenever a new user is created.

An example setup for SQL mode:
storage_path = sql:mode=mysql;host=127.0.0.1;name=PVPGN;user=pvpgn;pass=pvpgnrocks;default=0

mode = The SQL mode you will use. The only possible values here are “mysql” and “pgsql”
host = The SQL host
name = The name of the database that PvPGN will use for storage
user = The SQL user
pass = The password for that SQL user
default = The uid of the “default user”. This value is almost never changed. The “default user” is a template that will be used whenever a new user is created.

Un ejemplo de como debes configurar el modo SQL:
storage_path = sql:mode=mysql;host=127.0.0.1;name=PVPGN;user=pvpgn;pass=pvpgnrocks;default=0

[b]mode = mysql
host = SQL Host (creo que ya sabes que es, la pagina te lo proporciona)
name = Nombre de la base de datos que creaste para el server
user = Nombre de usuario
pass = Contraseña
default = default user
