How do I configure my server?

[0nopeO]

You can edit your server config two different ways, with the "File manager" tab, and with an FTP client. The advantage of the FTP client being that you can save multiple copies in the event that you want to revert your changes.

Using the "File manager" tab:

1. Verify that your 7DTD server is offline
2. On the "File manager" tab, select the "serverconfig.xml" file via the first dropdown available.
3. Make sure "Edit" is selected on the second dropdown, and select the "Submit" button.
4. This will open a simple text editor, make your changes, and once you are done, select the "Save" button.
5. Start the server!

Using an FTP client:

1. Verify that your 7DTD server is offline
2. Using your preferred FTP client, connect to your server's FTP using the credentials listed on the "File Manager" tab in your control panel.
   • If you aren't sure how to connect, we have a guide for FileZilla posted here: viewtopic.php?t=8044
3. Navigate to the "/serverconfig/" folder.
4. Download "serverconfig.xml" and save it to your computer.
   • I highly recommend keeping two copies in the event that you need to revert your changes.
5. Open the .xml file with notepad (or any other text editor, like Notepad++) and make your changes.
6. Once you are done, delete the serverconfig.xml on the FTP server, and upload your new version.
7. Start the server!
