Forum :: EOSERV :: How to setup WebCP [Guide]

First I am going to assume you have a server, you know how to port forward and you have a "no-ip" or similar ip redirect.

1. Download and install a program to host your php enabled web page (For simplicity I am going to use WampServer as an example).

2. Download and extract WebCP 3.

3. Copy the contents of the "webcp-3" folder to the web page directory of your host program (for WampServer paste the contents into directory "C:\wamp\www\").

4. Open the file config.php.

5. Edit lines 14-18 to match your config.ini database connection settings.

5.a. For "Sqlite" users, line 15 ($dbhost) should include the full path to your database file. For example: "C:\Program Files\EOServ\trunk\database.sdb".

6. Save the config.php file.

7. Go to your router's portforwarding settings and forward port "80".

8. Open your web server and start all services.

9. Open your web browser and go to your no-ip site. Omit "www". Example: http://mycooleoserver.no-ip.org.

10. There it is, your working WebCP. If you cannot display this page, try http://localhost. (you can click that link to view your WebCP if installed properly). If your server displays here but not using your no-ip, you haven't forwarded properly. In some cases you may need to use a different port.

11. This is literally all the help I can give you. You may also use a web host to host your WebCP if in fact they support php. I find it easier to use Wamp for ease of web page formatting and without logging in and uploading files. Good luck, Hope this helps everyone that has experienced problems setting this up.

If by chance someone can't do the above for whatever reason, read this topic: https://eoserv.net/forum/topic/156

Thanks for the guide!

that's what im looking for hahaha

to match what config ini... and what did you mean by Location of the file

I got this error;

File not found: ./pub/dat001.eif

I put it like this

$dbtype = 'sqlite';
$dbhost = 'C:\Users\Zodin\Desktop\EOSERV\trunk\eoservdatabase';
$dbuser = 'eoserv';
$dbpass = '****';
$dbname = 'eoserv';

you have to put the pub files in webcp-3

why is that needed? I put it like this in the config.php

// Where the EIF and ECF files are found, no trailing slash
$pubfiles = 'C:\Users\Zodin\Desktop\EOSERV\trunk\data\pub';

There is a pub folder in the WebCP folder. Put your pub files there. Only edit the config as shown. Also, Sqlite users must include the name of database file extension when directing their config to it (.sdb).

Since I'm using WampServer what would I use?

Instead of

"C:\Program Files\EOServ\trunk\database.sdb".

Parse error: parse error in C:\wamp\www\config.php on line 11

that my error can any1 help? i checked line 11 and its blank lol

stay tuned.

can you put webcp to a site that gives you free domain? i am trying to put that on freewebs(for example: www.example.webs.com). is that possible or not? If not can someone suggest me something free to can put that webcp too?

Thank you all. sorry for my low knowledge to these stuff. i only can draw some pictures :P

Ok so I followed your tut, but when I load http://localhost I get blank webpages.

This is a rather old bump xD

On your computer locate "C:\Program Files\Apache\htdocs" or "C:\wamp\www\"

This folder should hold the files to your website, including the initial "blank .html file" used for testing purposes.

Wamp will look for a file called "index.htm" first. If you have extracted the contents of your WebCP folder into the C:\wamp\www directory you will find that "index.htm" is already there. Alternatively, if you have unzipped the whole of the WebCP into its own folder within the "www" directory, you should try http://localhost/webcp-3 (clicking this link will work as well :P).

i am not use wamp server :\
