What linux OS to use

[kaosx]

Hey guys just wondering what linux os is best to use with V2

 

Thanks

[Goran]

I didn't had any problems with centos, easy and clean installation!

You can try it out it's very nice.

How good is the beta to use in production?

 

Iam currently waiting to get a server in the next few days,

 

Just wondering if i should stik with server 2008 but i do find myself that steam servers run better on linux

 

Are game servers running more stable on V2 then V1?

 

Thanks

I would recommend CentOS as well. One of the previous threads stated it was developed using that OS, so in a sense its native to it.

It's great but we will wait for some plugins like security.

You can use the database created by cpanel account without any problems.

However you need to have the root access in order to install and start tcadmin.

So a VPS would be the best way to do it this way then correct,

 

Would you explain what i need to install on the VPS and what i need to install od my dedicated server?

VPS -> MySQL, mono, tcadmin (master)

DEDIS -> tcadmin (remote)

I have been using Debian as the master for 2-3 months with the beta.

For single personal users most use Debian but on a large production environment companies tend to use Centos.

This could be done though you would prolly need to enable mono in your apache set up (recompile) if it's not enabled already. Then wget tcadmin into a public_html folder of a site and install it from there using root.

1.Install the mono rpm as root

2.Recompile apache/php (from shell or whm)

3.Then cd into /home/usrname/public_html/ and start your tcadmin install there.

4.This should create a folder /home/usrname/public_html/tcadmin/

That would handle the web aspect of things, but would not install the required program files. You need a dedicated or VPS to run the software regardless of what operating system you choose.

 

Also Centos is the best OS to use unless you have a really big personal preference to run one of the other linux flavors.

 

One thing to keep in mind is while there are many games out there that run well on linux, there are many that will not run on linux at all. So you may want to plan your boxes out accordingly. Also, from what i have heard (I have not confirmed this myself), some mods out there don't seem to run well on nix.

 

Just food for thought before laying down your foundation.

Create a task that creates a database backup every day.
