Game Configuration

Why do Linux Game Details Show Less Options

Game servers that run on both Windows and Linux usually always have the same configuration. Only the executable name changes. To avoid duplicate configurations the Windows version of the config has been configured to be a template for the Linux config. If you want to make specific changes to the Linux version select the Templates tab and clear the template feature.

Disable Text Editor for a Single File

1. Select the game's details and select the File System Permissions icon.
2. Expand subadmin, reseller or user.
3. Click on "Add permission by file name".
4. Enter the file name that you want to block.
5. Select "No permissions".
6. Click on the Add button.
7. Click on the Save button.

You can also use "Add permission by file path". The difference is that this option will only block the file in the specified path. You can have files with the same name in other folders and they will not be blocked. "Add permission by file name" blocks a file with that name in any folder.

Configure Mods

Each mod installation is different depending on the game. We can only give you an overview of what you might need to do when configuring a mod in TCAdmin. Read the Mod Configuration Page for details.

Windows FAQ

Configure the TCAdmin website to run with IIS

** THIS IS NOT OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED. DO NOT CREATE A SUPPORT TICKET IF IT DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU **

1. Manually create the website in IIS Manager with its web root pointing to TCAdmin2\ControlPanel
2. Make sure the user that runs your website has full permissions on the ControlPanel, Cache, Temp, Logs and Database folders and read permissions on Monitor\Shared.
3. To disable the built in web server: Execute this query on your database. Make a copy of the values so you can add it back to tc_server_enabled_components in case anything goes wrong. Delete that row and restart the monitor to disable the built in website.

SELECT * FROM tc_server_enabled_components where server_id = 1 and module_id='07405876-e8c2-4b24-a774-4ef57f596384' and component_id=2;

Linux

Configure the website on port 80

By default, the TCAdmin website user runs with a normal account. Normal users can't open ports lower than 1024. To work around this you have to redirect port 80 to 8880 using iptables.

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8880
service iptables save

You can do the same for the ftp port: Redirect 21 to 8821
