setup

i can't make any new gameservers in this new version. there's no wizard or setup button. how do you go about doing this now?

You setup a backend server, usually 127.0.0.1 if using just one server for the frontend on cPanel/WHM and running games as well, then create new games on that server. The [+] icon boxes are where you should start: http://cpgs.cpanel.net/Screens/WHM-Main.png then once you have a backend server configured, http://cpgs.cpanel.net/Screens/WHM-Games.png use the create new game button on that server's page.

Okay, that was simple, short and sweet.

Simply:
>Go to WHM->Plugins->Game Server Management
>Under cPGS Servers
->Configure new backend server

For IP or Domain Name.
>If it is a local setup, type 127.0.0.1
>If it is a remote setup, type in the respective IP of the remote server.

Local setup refers to:
WHM in server A.
Installation of game server is in server A.
cPanel user can be in server A or B.

Remote setup refers to:
WHM in server A.
Installation of game server is in server B.
cPanel user can be in server A or B.

>Go to the newly configured backend server.
>Under Manage Games on Remote cPGS Server [ Respective server IP ]
->Click configure new game-server
>Do the necessary configuration for your game-server
>It should download the game-server package required for your server if you do not have the required game-server package.

Hopefully this has cleared up everything.

If not cleared up, here's a deeper explanation.

Backend server is like a "group" system.
Inside the "group" there are game-servers.

Now you should understand everything.

Here's the set of instructions I had given and proven to work.

Im sorry but this whole new system just not working right on just about every system i have.
bigger games like garrysmod packages never show up or install right.
Never had this in past versions.

select halflife2:garrsmod just sits no other drop downs show
and this shows non stop.

Server Package Click here to download the server package file before installing this game

yes i verified files are on server just fine

hzadmins - Garry's Mod had it's support removed for the latest release while I updated some things. It doesn't work on many servers just trying it manually due to the way the developers built it (against a very recent glibc, newer than most distros in service have.)
I 0.9.3 the module will work again. If you know it works on your machines normally, open a ticket and I'll update the module to work as expected with your current install. If you are having trouble with other servers let me know.

[hzadmins]

not sure how to get it done manually. any walk through at all?

[darren]

By manually I just mean starting it from the shell like you would normally use. The command line that cPGSD used when starting it should work on the shell and is logged at the top of the server log, something like the following should work:

cd /home/user/.gameservers/garrysmod_0/orangebox/

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:.:bin"

/home/user/.gameservers/garrysmod_0/orangebox/srcds_linux -dir /home/user/.gameservers/garrysmod_0/ +ip 1.2.3.4 +map gm_construct +port 27888 -game garrysmod +maxplayers 12 +exec server.cfg


If you want just open a ticket and I can test real quick and update your install.
