I have no clue how to use SSH to set up this VPS to host my server.. PLEASE HELP!
|
A question, what do I use to connect? They provided me with a 'SSH Key' but I don't know what thats for. Once i get logged in I think I got it, THANKS!
|
I got it all set up, but when I try to connect to the server I get connection failed.
|
iptables -L
Either the result will look like this: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) Or it won't. If it looks like this, your problem isn't with the firewall at all. If it doesn't look like this, post the output here and we can tell you what to do. |
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination [root@localhost ~]# Thats what it looks like, so It must not be that. |
When you start DreamDaemon, does it say the port could not be opened, or that it could be?
|
There should be a log file that was automatically created called [game name].log. Run `cat [game name].log` and post the contents?

World opened on network port 5012. Welcome BYOND! (4.0 Public Version 493.1116) The BYOND hub reports that port 5012 is reachable. |

Open PuTTy
Login as root (Highly suggested)
Then type in this:
wget http://www.byond.com/download/build/493/ 493.1116_byond_linux.zip
unzip 493.1116_byond_linux.zip
cd byond
sudo make install
DreamDaemon --version
Once you have done this; Your VPS will have BYOND installed.
Then you need to log into WinSCP;
Once you are in you simply upload the host files; If you upload it as .zip then remember to unzip via PuTTy!
Then back to PuTTy!
If you made a new directory for your host files them then:
cd the_directory
Just change "the_directory" with your own directory.
Then when you are into the directory you type:
DreamDaemon hostfiles.dmb 5012 -logself -trusted
Let's split it up:
DreamDaemon - Name of the program.
hostfiles.dmb - The name of the host files (.dmb file)
5012 - The port.
-logself - Logs every error and what so ever in a log file.
-trusted - Allow file transfer from the hosted file and so on.
I hope this helped:
I'm in a hurry so sorry if I made any typos.
