Server on a Site

[Pawel]

Hello to all.

Excused my English, but are Italian.

I wanted to know if it were possible to put a Server on a Site one and to make available it 24h on 24h.

[darkdreamingdan]

sorry could you explain it a little more, i dont understand

[Jani]

you'd need to ask your webhost for permission. also check that the server box is capable of running a server.

[Pawel]

I would have to ask mine provider if there is the possibility to install serveur?

[orappa]

Most web hosts will say no because of the massive amount of bandwidth it will use (in comparison to a web site).

[HardCoRe.]

my guess is you are using a webhost, usully they wont bend over and give you thousands of megabytes of bandwidth.....

but maybe your provider has been smoking crack for the last 20 mins.

who knows.

[Pawel]

I have the infinite bandwith. But it is possible to install the Serveur on a Site one?

[MeanpantheR]

if you have shell access + ftp access, then yes it is very posible

[HardCoRe.]

well, id be kool if MTA had a phpbb based server ...

with basic functions...liek a "dumb" server or something...

but this is me rambling.

upload it via FTP, execute it using the shell.

[Pawel]

Kindly, you explain like making to me?

[Pawel]

When i want lanch the server on my Pc i hav this Errore:

An error occured when attempting to launch the server:

Listen server started.

ERROR: Unable to bind to the socket. Check that on other instances MTAServer.exe are running and try again.

Unable to star server.

What i must doing?

[Jani]

make sure nothing else is running from your specified game port.

[Pawel]

How can I make it?

[Pawel]

Ok, i edit my Port and now Launch.

But i can install the MTAServer on a website, for have they 24/24h.

[Brophy]

u must have permission from the host and shell access to put a server up like that, a webhost wont take lightly to someone caining there bandwith

[Pawel]

I have not understood, you can use easy words?

[orappa]

Lol, "caning their bandwidth" means putting a massive load on it.

[Pawel]

But I have website on a Server, therefore I want to put the MTAServer to us, but not sò like making.

[Brophy]

yeah u might have a website on a server but it dont give u the right to run a game server on it unless u have official permission, take it up with your webhost, if it worked like that most mta players would have there own server

[catman]

where can iu get shell i have cpanelx

[MeanpantheR]

on most cpanels, shh(shell) is disabled,

if this is the case contact your webhost manager asking them to enabled shell access (they will probally say no )

laggy ones at that though, remember webservers arent big beasty gaming machines are they?

[MeanpantheR]

lmfao, i can see a freewebs game server (ortho that might work since they msut be on a good connection...)

[Jani]

but remember web servers arent powerful machines.
