Forum :: EO Server Building :: Doubts about creating a server

Excuse me, i'm kinda new in trying to develop i server, but it's something that i've wanted before, but i didn't have any knowledge in programming and now i'm taking some subjects in college, so i'd like to try. I was taking a look in the "EOSERV from scratch" guide, but when i arrived on the part "Obtaining the source code" and tried to connect the url in the Tortoise it got an error "Unable to connect to a repository url 'svn://files.eoserv.net/snaps/', so should i go on with the Tortoise or download directly the stuff from the trunk? And what's the difference between that source code and the EOSERV 7.0 and the previous versions? And what should i do first after setting the server on? Well, sorry for all the questions and thanks for answering.

Hello,

You should be OK with just downloading the trunk located here https//files.eoserv.net/snaps/eoserv-trunk-r535.tar.gz (latest rev).

In terms of the "7.0" version you speak of, i think what your looking at here is the binary version which is a compiled source-free copy.  If your interested in working with the source, the "Trunk" is what you want (first link provided).

Edit: in terms of the other questions, i'll let someone who is much more familiar with the latest rev.  Haven't hosted a server for a while.

I would highly recommend anyone interested in modifying the source go through svn instead of grabbing a snapshot of the trunk. Much easier to merge with the latest updates that way.

The url you need is svn://eoserv.net/eoserv/trunk/, check out the wiki page here for more information.

I would also highly recommend anyone that wants to modify the source build for Linux instead of Windows. Especially since you can dual-boot Windows/Ubuntu very easily or use a VM, and most linux distributions are free to use. Its actually MUCH easier that way since the POSIX ecosystem sets everything up for you. With a graphical distro (i.e. Ubuntu) you can even use Code::Blocks since its cross-platform. More info here.
