Setting up a server. how do you do it??

[matt11504]

if you want to setup a SA-MP server on your computer that YOU host, this is how you do it.

1. download the SA-MP windows or linux server (depending on which operating system your running) from HERE

2. once you have that downloaded extract the files to a folder named "samp" and put that folder inside your San Andreas Installation folder.

3. inside the folder you created in step 2, open the server.cfg file and change your rcon password by deleting the text "changeme" and putting your password there. and save the changes.

4. click samp- server.exe then open up SA-MP and add your server to you favorites by clicking the add server icon in the favorites tab and type in your IP address then add :7777 after your IP. once you added the server click connect and your on your own server.

to login as admin do /rcon login password while playing on the server. hint: "password" will be the password you typed into the server.cfg file in step 3

For the server to work you need to have the Server.exe file always on.

Thanx matt, we love you! I have my own server now!!!

If you've got a wireless connection and need to forward your ports, try this:

 

 

To let others connect to your server, you have to make sure that if you're using a router, it can accept it. So we have to start by making your IP static.

Go to: Start > Run > type "cmd"

A Dos box should could up, type "ipconfig /all" It will show you your connection info, keep this window open, you'll need it later.

Open up your wireless connection properties by either clicking your wireless icon in the system tray and selecting "Properties": or going to: Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Network Connections and selecting your wireless connection and clicking "Properties".

Now in the properties window, there should be a box with "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" at the box of the list, you may have to scroll down. Click on it, and click on properties under the box.

It should open up an ip window. Check the boxes "Use the following IP address:" and "Use the following DNS server addresses" like below:

Now fill in the information from the black DOS box from earlier into this window, when you're done, press Ok.

Now, you need to forward your router ports, to do this, find your router model on this list

Then find out how to log into your router by clicking on your router model.

Once you've logged in to your router, find the port list and add:

Name	Start	End	Protocol	IP Address	Enable
SAMP	7777	7788	Both	192.168.1.[THE LAST NUMBER IN YOUR STATIC IP]	Yes

If that didn't make sense, just read the information given to you from your router page, but instead of using Unreal Tournament's ports, use 7777-7788.

I think that's everything, good luck.

Cool guide! But I think having my own server is too hard, but I may create someday if I have more time. Thanks for the guide.

If you've got a wireless connection and need to forward

Name	Start	End	Protocol	IP Address	Enable
SAMP	7777	7788	Both	192.168.1.[THE LAST NUMBER IN YOUR STATIC IP]	Yes

If that didn't make sense, just read the information given to you from your router page, but instead of using Unreal Tournament's ports, use 7777-7788.

If you pick your router from this list, then on the next page, find a game with the ports 7777 or 7788, you can follow the guide for your router.

All of this worked but does anyone know how to get the server to stay running 24/7?

[matt11504]

keep your PC and internet connected and the samp-server.exe program running 24/7 is the only way i know of.

[Ottae]

keep your PC and internet connected and the samp-server.exe program running 24/7 is the only way i know of.

Otherwise, you'll have to buy a server from somewhere like gta-host.com.

[Spitfire75]

Ok then

[StreetZ]

Ok i think everything is ok on my server, ive followed everything but the last little thing confusing me is how do people join my server?

 

I am connecting through a wireless router so maybe they connect through this: 192.168.1.125 ?

 

I checked my ports and im getting this: Error: I could not see your service on 82.21.48.209 on port (7777)

Reason: Connection timed out

 

I have enabled DMZ to ip 192.168.1.125

 

if any one can help....

Edited March 4, 2008 by StreetZ

[GTArv]

No, you don't need DMZ, disable it and just forward your server port on the router.

You need to give people your internet IP so that they can join your server. Go to http://whatsmyip.org to find it.

 

Make sure that the server's running when you check the port.

[Lara-Croft]

But how i can port MultiTheifAuto server?

[GTArv]

Multi Theft Auto follows a similar procedure, but you're better off asking at the MTA forums.

Ok... I did all this right and it just sits there and says "retrieving server info". Can anyone help with this and yes I unblocked it from my firewall and added the ports also. Thanks
