[Linux][Debian] Melia Setup Guide

[Keith]

Debian

Open your favorite SSH terminal

Please do not run Melia as root, it's just not recommended... as running Linux, this is one of the most important things to know.

1. Installation of required software

sudo apt-get install mono-devel git-core screen

 

2. Installing either MySQL or MariaDB (I recommend MariaDB)

sudo apt-get install mysql-server
OR
MariaDB:
https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/#mirror=digitalocean-nyc&distro=Debian&distro_release=jessie--jessie&version=10.1

also recommended to run to secure your mysql/mariadb server:

mysql_secure_installation

 

3. Cloning Melia repository

 

git clone https://github.com/aura-project/melia.git

 

4. Compiling Melia repository

 

cd melia
xbuild /p:Configuration=Release Melia.sln

 

5. Copying required files

 

mkdir live
mkdir live/log/
cp bin/Release/{*.exe,*.dll,*liblua*} live
cp -r {system,sql,user,lib,log,doc} live

 

6. Setting up MySQL/MariaDB

 

mysql -u root -p
CREATE database melia;
CREATE USER 'melia'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword';
GRANT CREATE,DELETE,DROP,EXECUTE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON melia.database TO 'melia'@'localhost';
                                                                  

then type exit

mysql -u melia -p passwordyouset -h localhost melia < sql/main.sql

 

7. Editing config files

 

nano or vi live/conf/database.conf

// Melia
// Configuration file
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------

host     : 127.0.0.1
user     : MySQLUSER
pass     : MySQLPASSWORD
database : melia

include "/user/conf/database.conf"

mv user/conf/database-example.conf database.conf
nano or vi /user/conf/database.conf

// Melia
// Configuration file
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------

pass     : MySQLPASSWORD

 

8. Editing servers.txt

 

nano or vi /system/db/servers.txt

// Melia
// Database file
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[
{ type: "Login", id: 1, ip: "127.0.0.1", port: 2000 },
{ type: "Channel", id: 1, ip: "127.0.0.1", port: 7000, maps: "all" },
]

If you're not doing this locally, edit the 127.0.0.1 IP address to your WAN IP (you can get your WAN IP at http://whatismyip.com OR http://ip4.me

 

9. Starting Login,Channel,Web server

 

screen -S 'Login'
mono LoginServer.exe

Hold Ctrl+A+D to detach from the screen

screen -S 'Channel'
mono ChannelServer.exe

Hold Ctrl+A+D to detach from the screen

screen -S 'Web'
mono WebServer.exe

Hold Ctrl+A+D to detach from the screen

 

And you're done! I will make the guide look better later on.

Did you enter the xbuild line exactly as described? That error suggests that you have a parameter xbuild doesn't recognize, which from what I can gather makes it assume you're specifying multiple projects files, when it only supports one, or something like that.

yes i did follow the instruction. it worked once on a clean copy. then i get the error upon recompiling.

* glad the guide has been updated. but it's still missing the log folder.

 

5. Copying required files

mkdir live
cp bin/Release/{*.exe,*.dll,*liblua*} live
cp -r {system,sql,user,lib,log,doc} live

* need to "mkdir log" inside live folder.
