How to setup a 0.3e server on Linux! (SSH) - sanplayer - 14.05.2012

Some people I seen have asked for help making a SA:MP server on there Linux VPS. I have a Linux VPS and decided to make a small tutorial on how to do this.

First, Make sure you know how to use your SSH text editor. I use nano as I find it easy.

To install nano on CentOS type: yum install nano

To install nano on Debian/Ubuntu type: apt-get install nano

If they dont work update your system first.

Then to download the SA:MP Server type: wget http://files.sa-mp.com/samp03esvr.tar.gz (To get more versions go Here)

Now to extract the .tar.gz you can use this command line: tar -zxf samp03esvr.tar.gz

If you wish to extract it and not type the full name type: tar -zxf samp*

Now you type: cd samp03 now you will be in your SA:MP folder.

As we installed nano (Step 1) we can now edit this more easier than it would be with the SSH editor that came with it.

To edit the server.cfg type: nano server.cfg Now you will be editing your server.cfg.

Edit the port (if needed), Hostname, RCON Password (otherwise won't start) and your player amount and gamemode. Now that you edited them press CTRL + X Then it asks if you want to save Press Y then press ENTER now you have edited it.

To start it and keep it running without SSH needing to be open type nohup ./samp03svr & and it will continue running after the SSH conenction has been cut.

I will do more tutorials soon, Please post any suggestions.

You can use nano and vi, since they work the same.

I never know how to use vi. Nano is easy for new people though or even advanced.
