This guide applies to:
*Marauroa 23.10 and above
*Stendhal 0.65.595 and above
<br>
= 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.
 
== Setting up MySQL ==
 
Install MySQL:
For '''advanced''' MySQL configuration, install MySQL:
 
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
Line 20 ⟶ 26:
 
ln -s /path/to/file-name/mysql-connector-java-5.1.10.jar mysql-connector.jar
 
After you've installed MySQL, make sure you have a database ready for it.
At a command line, type
mysql -u NAME -p
if you need a password for your server (by default, you don't).
If you don't need a password, omit the "-u NAME -p" part.
At the prompt that appears, type
create database marauroa;
grant all on marauroa.* to 'FOO'@'localhost' identified by 'BAR';
'''FOO and BAR are the username and password to be used by Marauroa''', respectively. Replace them with whatever you want. If the user doesn't exist, it will be created. '''Remember these values (FOO and BAR)!'''
If you get a problem like:
ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'FOO'@'localhost' to database 'marauroa'
then you need to login to mysql as the root mysql user, who should have 'grant' access. As root you can then try
grant all on marauroa.* to 'FOO'@'localhost' identified by 'BAR';
again
 
'''Note''': It is recommended to edit the MySQL configuration file to disallow external access if you are just going to use it for local testing, or simply use a firewall to block external access to the database.
 
== 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 30 ⟶ 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.
 
== GettingGet the materials ==
Download a current version of the Stendhal server, ''stendhal-server-{{version}}.zip'' from [http://arianne.sourceforge.net/?arianne_url=games/game_stendhal#downloadsection arianne.sf.net].
 
If you want to compile it yourself from CVS or the source code provided at the downloads link, then see [[HowToBuildStendhal|How to build Stendhal]] for more info. If you run a Linux System, then you have the necessary tools to get everything else.
 
= Setting up MySQL =
'''You can skip this whole step if you want the fast installation with an H2 database: Go to Makin' the cake'''
 
After you've installed MySQL, make sure you have a database ready for it.
At a command line, type
mysql -u NAME -p
if you need a password for your server (by default, you don't).
If you don't need a password, omit the "-u NAME -p" part.
At the prompt that appears, type
create database marauroa;
grant all on marauroa.* to 'FOO'@'localhost' identified by 'BAR';
FOO and BAR are the username and password to be used by Marauroa, respectively. Replace them with whatever you want. If the user doesn't exist, it will be created. Remember these values (FOO and BAR)!
If you get a problem like:
ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'FOO'@'localhost' to database 'marauroa'
then you need to login to mysql as the root mysql user, who should have 'grant' access. As root you can then try
grant all on marauroa.* to 'FOO'@'localhost' identified by 'BAR';
again
 
= Makin' the cake =
 
== Create the server directory ==
Line 73 ⟶ 76:
== Stendhal server files ==
Unzip the stendhal server zip which you downloaded, into the stendhal_server directory.
 
Now check you have the following files in the stendhal_server directory:
*stendhal-server-{{version}}.jar
*stendhal-xmlconf-{{version}}.jar
*stendhal-maps-{{version}}.jar
*groovy.jar
*simple.jar
*marauroa.jar
*log4j.jar
*log4j.properties
*jython.jar
*mysql-connector.jar ''optional''
*commons-lang.jar
 
... or in a directory called ''lib'' or ''libs'' inside the stendhal_server directory. If any are in ''lib'' or ''libs'' please move them up into the main stendhal_server directory.
 
<small>If any of the latter jars are missing you can fetch them here: http://arianne.cvs.sourceforge.net/arianne/stendhal/libs/</small>
Done!
 
== ConfigureRun marauroathe server ==
The first time you run the server a configuration file for the server (named ''server.ini'') will be generated.
Time to configure Marauroa and the database access. In the command-line (not in GUI!), run:
 
java -cp stendhal-server-{{version}}.jar games.stendhal.server.core.engine.GenerateINI
There is a script ''runserver.sh'' in the stendhal_server directory - you may need to make it executable first.
So
cd /path/to/stendhal_server
To make it executable, in a command prompt type
chmod u+x runserver.sh
To start it from a command prompt, type
./runserver.sh
 
Now, it will ask you questions.
 
=== H2 database ===
For the '''fast''' installation
* hit ''Enter'' to accept the defaults, that you want '''H2''' database
Line 104 ⟶ 97:
server.ini has been generated
 
'''Warning:''' Any value for the RSA key generation small than 512 may cause the server not to work properly and refuse the client connections.
===MySQL===
 
=== MySQL database ===
If you want to use MySQL then see below for more details:
When it asks you for...
Line 110 ⟶ 105:
*database name, hit enter to use the default (marauroa)
*host, hit enter to use the default (localhost)
*user, '''write the username you used in giving MySQL permissions (FOO)'''
*password, '''write the password you used giving MySQL permissions (BAR)'''
*RSA key size- 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 smaller than 512 may cause the server not to work properly and refuse the client connections.
*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
*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. Like the prompt says, anything greater than 1024 can take a LONG time. But, if you have ~30 minutes to spare (more or less, depending on your comp), you could use the extra security
 
Download a recent mysql-connector.jar from the [https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/ MySQL site].
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, try running the GenerateINI command again; the file could have change with updating the RSA keys

== Starting Server ==
To start the stendhal server you can just type
java -jar stendhal-server-{{version}}.jar
 
== Stopping the Server ==
Or, there is a script runserver.sh in the stendhal_server directory - you may need to make it executable first.
In the server window just type '''CTRL+c'''
So
 
cd /path/to/stendhal_server
== Starting the Server again ==
To make it executable, in a command prompt type
To start the stendhal server again you can just type from a command prompt:
chmod u+x runserver.sh
To start it from a command prompt, type
./runserver.sh
 
'''Note:''' Remember that the server configuration file (''server.ini'') is only generated the first time you run the server unless you delete it.
 
== Have fun ==
Line 145 ⟶ 136:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Logger
</pre>
 
''<span style="color:red;">DEPRECATED:</span> "log4j.jar" is now intended to be located in "libs" directory''
 
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
Line 150 ⟶ 144:
In this case the user had his log4j.jar in the folder called ''libs'' but the classpath expects it to be in the main folder where runserver.sh ran from. So you can: edit the classpath, replacing ''log4j.jar'' above with ''libs/log4j.jar'' '''or''' move the file.
 
=== MySQL possible error ===
 
If when you try to run the server later, you get this error in the log:
