Can anyone give me some insite on where i can find info about createing a simple web admin panel for my server? I have Apache, mysql & php all installed. But I have no clue on how to start.
You start by entering a world of pain. (No no, really) Asking on the hlds_apps list will get you a lot more reliable responses than here, and is highly recommended. Basically, you need to (for any reliable operation) build your web process which intends to talk to a background process that can accept commands and retrieve state. Simply put, it would be both foolish and an even larger world of pain to consider otherwise. This background process, which might communicate over a network socket, or unix socket, is what launches and maintains your application's "alive" state. For the background process, daemontools is a very popular utility suite that's used for much, much more than HLDS. It also has the benefit of being packaged for many distributions (including FreeBSD), and is very flexible, albeit a bit cryptic if you've never used it before. Getting information on your server, and installing your server will be your biggest hurdles, however. There really isn't one way to handle either of these tasks - you can get the information through rcon, an addon, or parsing logs. Installing your server can be a simple file copy, or you can use a significantly better performing symlink system that requires a lot more maintenance (but IMO, is worth it). My honest suggestion would be to look at some of the free options available, especially if you have no personal or professional interest in writing one for yourself. -- Erik Hollensbe [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
