Need some guidence

[SkyFPS]

Hello guys, I recently aquired a dedicated box, and i had some questions on how to actually get a epoch server up and running.

 

I tried logging into steam from the box but then i thought, how would i actually be able to admin the server...

 

Is there any way to do this without having to use a steam account and if i do is there someone who knows STEPS on how to actually get one up and running...

 

 

 

Also when i try to launch arma 2 through the box it doesn't support a graphics card or something along those lines...

 

 

Is there any detailed explnation on how to get a server up and running with epoch?

 

 

If so please help me out, 2 days of googling and trying stuff was not successful.

 

 

The server is a windows 2008

Install Arma2 CO

install Epoch mod

Install + edit the Epoch Server files

Install and setup BEC or some other Antihack system Learn about this stuff bans...etc

Install mods

Install some Admin Tools to make live running the server a little easier =)
Install Some sort of database. Xampp seems to be very easy to setup.

 

Build a community and have some Fun =)

Can you please explain it in detail.. How to get it running on this windows 2008 webserver?

 

You need to be specific, this is my first time running with ARMA 2 and ARMA 3 as my community requested it,

 

 

I thank you for the answer but it seemed like a half fast answer to me with no real direction invovled.

I installed steam then gifted it to my servers account from my main player account.
This will help when I want to run a headless client.

But anyway

Get a USB Stick and copy your Arma 2 Directory to it. The one that works and you can play on epoch servers with no errors.
Copy this to your server

c:/epoch

as an example - This will give you arma 2 and epoch files.

 

Download the server files from

http://epochmod.com/
click the Arma2: DayZ; Epoch and select server files.

 

To install - here is the basic install link

Admin tools

Just follow the install instructions.

 

 

You will need a database anyone of these will work.

This sould get you started on the right track =)
