Mike Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 You can't (usually) run servers from normal webhosting, I don't think you're able to execute the file and your hosting company probably does not allow it anyway. If you really want to do this, get in contact with your hosting company and ask them about it. Link to comment
actingbiz1 Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 No, I can do it, but I don't see an executable file..... Link to comment
Slothman Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 MTASERVER0.5 <----the file its talking about Link to comment
actingbiz1 Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 How do I run it? I click in the file name, but then my browser says that I have to download it. It has no web extension......Anyone have a detailed instructions step by stem with links to the right tools..... Link to comment
eAi Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 You'll need shell access. Link to comment
Slothman Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 web servers cant run game servers. It's not possible unless you have acces via telnet or ssh (like eAi said, Shell access) Link to comment
actingbiz1 Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 I could get shell access. Link to comment
actingbiz1 Posted February 12, 2005 Author Share Posted February 12, 2005 Ok, say I have it (Need permission from server owner) Could you list the steps I need to install the server? Detailed, as if you were talking to someone who knows jack squat about this subject! Lol Also for my hosters information (And mine) Roughly how much bandwith and space will this take up? On average, with like a max of 24 players at a time, with an average of 10 people a day? Link to comment
