This guide applies to:
*Marauroa 23.10 and above
*Stendhal 0.65.595 and above

= Setting up a localhost server =
This guide will teach you how to set up a server on your Linux machine. The server will be a local one, so people from around the world cannot get to your server. Only those who are directly connected to you via a LAN can connect to this server. The required packages are:
*A compiled version of the Stendhal Server, version {{version}}
*GNU/Linux ''(This may be others, the directions should apply almost exactly to any *nix system)''
*Command-line access ''(ask system administrator if it's a problem)''
 
For '''easy''' H2 database configuration (which is shipped with Stendhal and is installation-free) just skip straight to '''[[StendhalLocalhostServerOnLinux#Choosing_the_Java_Virtual_Machine|Choosing the Java Virtual Machine]]'''.
 
For '''advanced''' MySQL configuration, keep reading.
Line 43 ⟶ 45:
 
== Choosing the Java Virtual Machine ==
Stendhal works with OpenJDK or SunOracle Java, you will need Java 57 or greater.
 
For Sun Java: Use your Package manager to download '''OpenJDK 67''' or SunOracle Java 1.57 or greater version. At a command line, type
java -version
and if you see anything other than the new java you just installed, then you need to update the java used. At a command line, type
Line 51 ⟶ 53:
(using sudo if you are an ubuntu user, or as root if you are another linux user) which should give you output something like this:
 
*''java-1.57.0-sunoracle 53 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.57.0-sunoracle''
*''java-gcj 1042 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj''
*''java-67-openjdk 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-67-openjdk''
 
now, lets say you want to use the ''java-67-openjdk''. Then you type
update-java-alternatives --set java-67-openjdk
Now run
java --version
again to check it worked.

*user, '''write the username you used in giving MySQL permissions (FOO)'''
*password, '''write the password you used giving MySQL permissions (BAR)'''
*RSA key size,- choose anything smaller than 1024 bits, but greater than 512 (or equal to). This is to make sure that the login information is valid and secure.
*port, anything above 1024. 32160 is the default for stendhal, but it can be anything above 1024
'''Warning:''' Any value for the RSA key generation othersmaller than 512 may cause the server not to work properly and refuse the client connections. Therefore, just accept this default value. This is a known bug.
*game, type "stendhal" (or a number for that, if a multiple-choice menu appears)
 
*turn time, or how long the server takes to process each event, choose anything above 200, but below 1000. This is in milliseconds. default is 300
Download a recent mysql-connector.jar from the [https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/ MySQL site].
*log and stats generation logs, use the default ("./") - it's in the same directory as everything else
*RSA key size, choose anything smaller than 1024 bits, but greater than 512 (or equal to). This is to make sure that the login information is valid and secure.
'''Warning:''' Any value for the RSA key generation other than 512 may cause the server not to work properly and refuse the client connections. Therefore, just accept this default value. This is a known bug.
 
Well, thats everything! When it's finished, you'll have a new file, "server.ini". Don't lose it, as it contains the information to get your server up & running, as well as the key to do that. If Marauroa won't start, and nor will your server, check to see if that INI file is there (at the same directory! NOWHERE ELSE!) and if it is not, try running the runserver.sh script again; the file could have changed when updating the RSA keys

Please open runserver.sh in a text editor. You'll see the classpath defined there, something like
LOCALCLASSPATH=.:data/script/:data/conf/:stendhal-server-$STENDHAL_VERSION.jar:marauroa.jar:mysql-connector.jar:log4j.jar:commons-lang.jar
