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 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:\TCAFiles\Games and C:\TCAFiles\Users is recommended on Windows.
- /home/tcadmin/tcafiles/games and /home/tcadmin/tcafiles/users is recommended on Linux.
- Save your configuration.
- Click on the Server IPs icon.

- Have fun :-)
