New Tool: ServerAdmin

[Calabeth]

Hello all and first off nos and George thank you for the work on this awesome tool so far. I gotta Q though and I'll admit my newbness. I used to play on an emu long before titanium even and ran a personal server to pass time.

Well a few computers and upgrades later I figured I'll attempt this again and use on of my older shells and make a server computer for file sharing and as my emu server. ( granted it's still only a single core, kinda guessing a quad core would possibly work better. Or I figure out how to make the server use multiple computers. )

Well so far so good and things seem to be up and running. A few of the things for configuration I dont understand what they are actually asking for so I left those blank. These were areas like server binaries folder. ( assuming thats where my world.exe and such are but not sure, remember newb :P but learning )

So while I can access the DB and such just fine, the main status page does not show the status of world server and such, nor an option to start them. But thats most likely due to the error at the bottom of that page stat
Now the question I have is in using the tools on the machine I am gaming from I seem to access the DB just fine from the server machine, but the main page where it shows the status does not seem to work and I get an error connecting to there. ( says make sure remote administration is enabled )

Is there some other remote admin thing I need to place access to beyond mysql that I proably am guessing I overlooked?

Follow up posting ( so newb I couldnt figure out how to edit my last post :/ )

From doing some searching and stuff. I am guessing the enabling remote administration thing might be more of a windows issue since the stats monitors processes? If so then I might not be able to use that portion on my server box which is XP:Home which appears to not have that ability like XP:Pro does.

Edit:Addition-

Ok weird, the edit button showed up on this post just fine. Maybe it fades off from a post after a certain amount of time?

If you used the default address for MySql of 127.0.0.1:3306, then you can only access it from the host server computer. You will either need to reconfigure your mysql server to the host LAN IP address, or use a port forwarding on the same computer..192.168.xxx.xxx:3306 -> 127.0.0.1:3306. I think there is a tool to reconfigure the server..if not, try the mysql config files and then reboot. Port forwarding is done via host computer and not the router in this case.

That should get you access from another LAN computer. (Don't forget to change your eqemu config files to reflect any db server address changes.)

(Editing after one hour requires admin request..I've only noticed the button not showing up on posts that I'm at a different IP from the original post.)

Thanks for the replay Uleat, and ahhh gotcha on the edit button info.

Now as far as mysql database I have good access to it using this tool from a remote comp. The part that does not seem to be connecting is the stuff on the status page.

Now in regards to that I think I have chases that issue down to not havin admin rights in general for the processes on the server comp since it is running XP Home as the OS.
I am going to try and learn how to run Linux off that comp sometime, unless I can find a really cheap copy of XP Pro, or a friend that has it and no longer using.

Unfortunately XP Home doesn't allow Remote Admin, though with some google searches there are some 'patches' that can enable it. Not sure I'd recommend it though.
