Connall Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/5813-how-to-administrate-a-server/ This should answer all your questions. As an admin in game you can add users to the admin database (which is covered in the server commands section of the thread.) Give it a read through and if you still have questions then just reply to this thread and we'll see about taking it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meonfire Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 okay one of my main problems is that the create server faq says"When you first launch your server, or if no "admin" account exist, a password for the user 'admin' will be asked in your console"i rent a server via a server hoster because i want a 24/7 server .. i have never been asked about a passwordis there a way to force this dialog ? ... where do i find the file to edit this stuff via notepad+ ?when i want to log on my server i just have to enter the ip and BAM -> char creation ->play the game iam kinda screwed even before i want do admin stuff ... i just wanna configure some kind of main password before you login to the server (the screen where you enter server ip) i found "servertest ini" with these optionsPVP=truePauseEmpty=trueGlobalChat=trueOpen=trueServerWelcomeMessage=stuff LogLocalChat=trueAutoCreateUserInWhiteList=trueDisplayUserName=trueSpawnPoint=0,0,0SafetySystem=trueShowSafety=trueSafetyToggleTimer=100SafetyCooldownTimer=120SpawnItems=DefaultPort=16261ResetID=263560214Mods=Map=Muldraugh, KYSpawnRegions=servertest_spawnregions.luaDoLuaChecksum=truePublic=falsePublicName=Zomboid ROXXPublicDescription=lets play some zomboidMaxPlayers=12PingFrequency=10PingLimit=400HoursForLootRespawn=0server_browser_announced_ip= xxx.xxx. maybe iam blind but i cant see the entry that says password or admin data ... this has to be written down somewhere *scratches head* iam sure it cant be that hard to configure a zomboid server just need some jump start assist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meonfire Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 yeah exactly its a legit hoster that is hosting zomboid servers since yesterday .. its called nitrado i think the main problem is that the dialog does appear on their rig instead of mine because they are hosting stuff but as far i understand this server guide the dialog that should show up allows me to create an admin account so i can change stuff ingame on the fly would be nice to have this but this isnt the password configuration iam looking for at the moment i want to configurate a password that everyone must enter when try to join the server(on the screen where you enter the ip is also a "server password" entry ) at the moment you can leave it blank .. just klick and join or is this dialog necessary to configure this too ? ... still cant find an option for this :/damn feeling so stupid right now -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either they sent you an e-mail with the info, or it might use default values of "admin" for username and "test" for password, without the quotes of course. Doesn't work, then you need to message them and see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin password is set up from the server terminal, which due to the nature of your hosting package, you don't have access to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meonfire Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 so there is no quick way to spread my server ip and everyone who wants to join has to enter a password to play just that no one may join that isnt "invited" i must configure each user as admin and everyone will get a different password ? dont know i kinda imagine it like thisopen configuration file -> set a password -> give people ip + password -> happy "family and friends" server big fat THANK YOU for explaining stuff to me btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
