Initial Configuration

• Make sure the TCAdmin Monitor is running in console or service mode.
• View http://x.x.x.x:8880 (Windows server) or http://x.x.x.x:8080 (Linux server) using your PC's browser.
• Log in with user id admin and password password. You will be redirected to the configuration utility.
• Select "The master server" and click on Next.
• Enter your TCAdmin 2.0 key, name and company information and click on Next.
• Select SQLite or MySQL database. ODBC drivers are not required.

If you choose SQLite: the database has already been created for you. Just click on Next.

If you choose MySQL: you must create the database and database user yourself and execute the script located at Database/MySQL.sql (if you don't know how to do this please choose SQLite). Enter the required information and click on Next.

• Select the server's primary IP, firewall IP and ports that TCAdmin will use. If you change the secure and standard ports make sure they are available.

The default ports are:

• Secure connection: 8881
• Standard connection: 8880
• FTP server: 8821
• Windows web server: 8880 (same as standard port)
• Linux web server: 8080

Enable support for Windows Firewall: Enable this option if you are running Windows firewall and you want TCAdmin to automatically required ports.

Enable support for uPnP port forwarding: If your server is behind a firewall or router with uPnP enabled you can enable this feature in TCAdmin so all ports are forwarded automatically.

Use custom server certificate: TCAdmin creates a default certificate for secure connections. If you have installed a custom certificate you can select it. (This feature is only supported on Windows)

• Select the features that you want to disable or override on this server (Override.config). These will always override the settings specified in the database. Click on Next.
• Click on Finish to apply your configuration and restart the monitor.
• After the monitor is restarted you will be redirected to the Admin home page.
• Click on Change Password and change the default admin password.
• Click on My Profile. Enter your email and select your time zone.
• Navigate to System > General Settings > Mail Server Settings and configure your mail server.
• Navigate to Server Management > Servers and select the master server.
• In the Game & Voice Settings tab configure the paths for the game and user files. Make sure they exist on the server.

C:\TCA2Files\Games and C:\TCA2Files\Users is recommended on Windows.

/home/tcadmin/tca2files/games and /home/tcadmin/tca2files/users is recommended on Linux.

• Save your configuration.
• Click on the Server IPs icon.
• Click on Import IPs and configure the hostnames as needed.
• Have fun :-)
