Step 4. Configure marauroa to access the MySQL database
Now you will generate a marauroa *.ini file so that marauroa knows where and how to access the database with the user accounts and other info.
Open a command prompt window.
Cd to marauroa-1.31 folder (that contains marauroa.jar)
At prompt, copy from here:
java -cp marauroa.jar marauroa.server.generateini
and USE your mouse and right-click anywhere inside the window and choose paste.
Then press enter
Warning: depending on how you have copied it maybe there's no need to press enter this time after you paste (you might have copied the enter character too).
When prompted for the name of the *.ini file: http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/visual_guide_server/Step4MarauroaConfiguration/Step4MarauroaConfiguration05.png
just press enter and this way you accept the default marauroa.ini
When prompted for the name of the database:
Warning: Now copy the name of the database from here, don't press enter to accept the default as at the time of this guide it seems it doesn't work. So copy from here:
marauroa
and USE your mouse and right-click anywhere inside the window and choose paste.
Then press enter
When prompted for the name of the database host, this time you can safely press enter to accept the default localhost
Warning: When prompted for the name of the database user you have to write exactly the same user you chose earlier when creating the database at Step 2. So copy from here:
stendhal_user
and USE your mouse and right-click anywhere inside the window and choose paste. Then press enter
Warning: When prompted for the name of the database user password you have to write exactly the same password you chose earlier when creating the database at Step 2. So copy from here:
stendhal_passwd
and USE your mouse and right-click anywhere inside the window and choose paste. Then press enter
Here, like I have just done, it reminds you that you should have granted all permissions to access the marauroa database to the user stendhal_user with password stendhal_passwd. And that is precisely what we have just done already in the previous step 2 when creating the database.
When prompted for the number of the UDP port used by the database you have to use the UDP port that is the default when running the client (if it is easy why complicate it...). So copy from here:
32160
and USE your mouse and right-click anywhere inside the window and choose paste. Then press enter
When prompted for the name of the game (yes, you just intended to install Stendhal server after all... I haven't forgot that) obviously, copy from here:
stendhal
and USE your mouse and right-click anywhere inside the window and choose paste. Then press enter
When prompted for the number of the turn time (Ok, I confess I don't really understand the message that has appeared but.. who cares? Not me!) Copy from here:
300
and USE your mouse and right-click anywhere inside the window and choose paste. Then press enter
Note: Depending on the power and memory of your PC you can get warnings (later in the server window) of turn time overflow (I do) if you set it this value or lower but that does not hurt (I think).
When prompted for the path for logs: http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/visual_guide_server/Step4MarauroaConfiguration/Step4MarauroaConfiguration15.png
Press enter to accept default
Also when Prompted for the path for statistics press enter to accept default.
When prompted for the size for the RSA key:
Press enter to accept default
I think this key is used for users' passwords encryption inside the database. For the use we are going to make of it I do not think we need this security measure so I would write 0 or 1, but to be on the safe side, let's press enter to accept the default (512) and wait a while or longer to finish.
Roughly estimated time (one Mississippi, two Mississippi...) on my computer: 45 seconds (who knows if more, who knows if less)
Close the window: Type exit or simply click on the X (yes, I will be declared a genius for this sentence)
If you have managed to get here, congrats! You have just configured your Marauroa server.
- Now the bad news: marauroa is only a framework that doesn't provide any content... So you have just the bare bones of your server.
- And now the good news: this was the difficult part.
"And, yes, I know the jokes of this kind are: good news first, bad news later."
