Forum :: EOSERV :: Installing EOserv Onto a Host

So I know how to install EOserv on my computer, but I don't want to leave my computer on. I want a dedicated server for it. I have a host that runs a website right now through HostGator, and I have a Cpanel. I tried uploading the necessary pieces for it to work but I can't get it to fall all together like it should. I also, can't get it to run the proper programs from the directory that I'm using it doesn't interact with them when I click on it.  I know there is a better way to go about doing this.  Does anyone have any advice or a guide of sorts that pertains to the subject?

Thanks,

Sounds like you're trying to install it on a file server which won't work because you won't be able to run the server from the web host. You'll need to get a Virtual Private Server, rather than a Web Host / Server. After you get a Virtual Private Server you can set it up the exact same way as you do on your home computer. I used KickAss VPS back when I hosted my server and had no issues

You're not installing eoserv, theirs nothing to install.

As for your issue, what you have is a file server or "Web host" that will only serve a website.

What you need is a dedicated server, or a VPS.  VPS is your best option as you can find extremely cheap one's.  http://www.hostgator.com/vps-hosting.  These plans are Linux, you can find a windows VPS but they will be more.  Or utilize wine on Ubuntu(Linux).

I'd suggest picking one that has good customer support, as you'll probably need help.

If you don't understand any of the terms such as VPS, dedicated server, Ubuntu, Linux, or wine simply google it.  If you still don't understand any of this, just don't run a server.

I haven't touched it in a few weeks but if you want you can make an account at EOHost and inbox me your username/hostname and I'll activate it for you. It's pretty basic but it'll run vanilla eoserv (rev 535) straight out the box and offers flexible config updating, map and quest uploading and quest editing.

Thanks you guys are awesome

I have a question though about a compile error:

What do you sugest?

What code have you changed? They will more then likely will need a bit more info to help
