View source for Hosting the control panel website separately

=== Requirements ===
If you want to host the control panel website on a separate server without requiring an additional license you will need:
* Remote desktop or SSH access to the web server
* TCAdmin 2.0.152.1 or greater
* TCAdmin configured with a MySQL database
* Low latency from MySQL to the web server

=== Limitations ===
* When you update TCAdmin the web server needs to be [[Updating#Manual_Update|updated manually]]
* Some modules might not be compatible
* Built in DDoS protection for the control panel is not available

=== Configure the master to accept connections from the web server ===
* The master should already be configured and have a working control panel.
* Go to Server Management > Servers > Master > Server IPs. Add the web server's IP but disable game and voice servers on it.

=== Installation of the website on Linux ===
* Install Mono and TCAdmin as you would normally. You don't need to run the configuration utility to enter a license.
* Download the [[File:Hosting.zip]], extract and edit with notepad.
* Update the value of "TCAdmin.ConfigUtility.Database.ConnectionString" with the information required to make the connection to the MySQL server.
* Save your updated Hosting.config to your web server in the path /home/tcadmin/Monitor/Hosting.config
* Restart the web server's monitor:
<source lang="bash">/home/tcadmin/Monitor/monitor-service restart</source>
* After restarting the monitor you should be able to log in to the control panel and test the connection to the master in Server Management > Servers > Show Versions.
* After the control panel is working correctly you can [[Configure_the_TCAdmin_website_to_run_with_Nginx|configure the control panel website to run with Nginx]] for improved performance.

=== Installation of the website on Windows ===

* Save your updated Hosting.config to your web server in the path C:\Program Files\TCAdmin2\Monitor\Hosting.config
* On the web server go to Start > Services and restart the TCAdmin Monitor service.

=== Disable the master's control panel ===
Execute this command on your database if you want to disable the master's built in web server. <source lang="sql">DELETE FROM tc_server_enabled_components WHERE module_id = '07405876-e8c2-4b24-a774-4ef57f596384' AND component_id = 2 AND server_id = 1;</source> If you ever need to enable the built in web server again execute this command. <source lang="sql">INSERT INTO tc_server_enabled_components (module_id, component_id, server_id) values ('07405876-e8c2-4b24-a774-4ef57f596384', 2, 1);</source>
