How To Compile & Setup on Linux/Unix Systems

Credits for GreatWizard that creates this tutorial and milo that originaly posted in Aion Unique forums.

For the Shorten down of the guide i will use Debain linux ver 5.0
and have also tested it on Ubuntu 9



[Unix] Installing aion-unique Server


A tutorial for installing aion under unix & linux system.


1. Tools Installation (you need root access)


It's necessary to update and upgrade your installation:

Code:


apt-get update
apt-get upgrade


You need to install Java (JRE & JDK), Ant, Subversion and Unzip tool.

Code:


apt-get install subversion sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk ant unzip


Note1: if you have problems installing sun java6 jre and jdk here is how

Here's the steps I took to get Sun JDK 6 to my Debian GNU/Linux system (the right way):
Add a line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

Code:


http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable non-free


Code:


Run apt-get update


now you can run

Code:


apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk


and should install just fine

Note2: You must to accept Sun Java6 Licence for install sun-java6 applications.

Note3: If you have already a Java virtual machine and Java compiler, please use:

Code:


update-alternatives --config java
update-alternatives --config javac


And define which application to use (select the java-6-sun- version ^^).


You need to install a mysql-server (with PhpMyAdmin to manage it easly).

Code:


apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-mysql mysql-server phpmyadmin


2. Get SVN dev


You must get the SVN aion-unique.

Code:


svn co http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/ae-go/trunk/ aion-unique


To update the SVN aion-emu dev, you can do this :

Code:


cd aion-unique


Code:


svn up


3. Compilation


You are now ready to compile your aion-unique server.

Code:


cd aion-unique
cd AE-go_Commons
ant

cd ../AE-go_LoginServer
ant

cd ../AE-go_GameServer
ant
cd ..


4. Uncompression


If all works fine, you can decompress every builds zip into a "files" dir.

Code:


mkdir ../../aion-server (clean it before second uncompress)


Code:


cd AE-go_Commons/build
unzip ae_commons.zip -d ../../../../aion-server


Code:


cd ../../AE-go_LoginServer/build
unzip ae_login.zip -d ../../../../aion-server


Code:


cd ../../AE-go_GameServer/build
unzip ae_gameserver.zip -d ../../../../aion-server
cd ../../../..


5. Databases & Configuration


You must make a mysql databse for your aion-unique.

You can connect onto your mysql-server with an url like : [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Click on "Privilieges" ---> "Added an user" --->
Then to fill in "Information for connection" according to your preferences.


For me, i make only one datebase for GameServer and LoginServer server, but you can use two database.

Code:


Username: aionserver
Server: localhost
Password: **********
Re-password: **********


and check "Create a base bearing his name and give that user all privileges on that basis".

You database is ready to be created. (please click on the "execute" button ._.)


You can add the 2 files "/aion-unique/AE-go_LoginServer/sql/login_db.sql" and " /aion-unique/AE-go_GameServer/sql /gameserver_db.sql" into your database(s) with the the menu : "Select your database in the left collums" ---> "Import".


Now you need to edit the two files "/aion-server/loginserver/config/database.properties" and "/aion-server/gameserver/config/database.properties":

Code:


# This is database url.
database.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/aionserver

# Database user
database.user=aionserver

# Database password
database.password=**********


You need to edit the file "/aion-server/gameserver/config/gameserver.properties":

Code:


# Id of this game server
gameserver.network.login.gsid=1

# Password of this game server
gameserver.network.login.password=******


Now you can add into the gameservers table the sql request:

Code:


INSERT INTO `gameservers` (`id`, `mask`, `password`) VALUES
(1, '127.0.0.1', '******');


Facultative: The last configuration is on the /aion-server/gameserver/config/ipconfig.xml. Replace YOUR_WAN_IP by your wan ip to enable the server on the internet (not just local server).

Code:


<ipconfig default="YOUR_WAN_IP">


6. Mission aion-unique #1

You are now ready to launch your server !
You must have two terminal (or screen) to do this:

Code:


cd files/loginserver/
chmod +x StartLS.sh
./StartLS.sh


and

Code:


cd files/gameserver/
chmod +x StartGS.sh
./StartGS.sh


And now you are ready to play on your private server provited you have the clients already setup.

Nice Tutorial , +rep.
