Game Server on VDS Server IP changes.

Post by koolzkid162 »

Ok, I just upgraded to a VDS unmanaged server, and I'm trying to setup 2 game servers on it.
I've got one working, but everytime, it restarts the IP changes. How do I fix this?

And does anyone know how I would make the servers start up automatically when they crash, or the server reboots?

You will need to specify the IP you wish for each server to run on in its startup parameters. Add "-ip $ip" to your command line, where "$ip" is the IP.

Apache is usually the webserver of choice, and it supports both Windows and Linux. If you run on Windows and which to run PHP applications that use MySQL, you might consider a premade WAMP stack. Otherwise, such as for fast downloads, just Apache alone may be sufficient for you.

Well, I want to host this site: http://coasttocoastgaming.com/ And set up fast downloads.

The website is currently already hosted by a web server I have form you guy's, but I want to move it.

The site isn't coming up for me, but if it's like most sites, you will generally need a LAMP/WAMP setup as your starting point.
