Some people want realms on different dedicated hosts around the world, so they can hold more players. This is a guide on using a host without giving them much power. All the server host has to do is start ascent. Ascent is the main program that takes up lots of memory and which the players log onto. You will have control of Mysql, Apache, Logonserver.
For Host:
1. Open up HeidiSQL, go to Tools>User Manager.
2. Put in a user name. Leave the host to %. Enter a password. Check All privileges. Click add user. My user name is:
noob
Pass is:
loob
3. Now make your host download the repack.
4. Tell them to install it.
5. They can delete the server folder.
6. Tell them to find in ascent.conf:
<WorldDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "ascent" Name = "ascent" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "ascent" Name = "logon" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
7. Tell them to change it to:
<WorldDatabase Hostname = "YOUR DYNDNS" Username = "NEW USER" Password = "NEW PASS" Name = "ascent" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "YOUR DYNDNS" Username = "NEW USER" Password = "NEW PASS" Name = "logon" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
Example:
<WorldDatabase Hostname = "511912.kicks-ass.net" Username = "noob" Password = "loob" Name = "ascent" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "511912.kicks-ass.net" Username = "noob" Password = "loob" Name = "logon" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
8. Tell them to find this in their realms.conf:
<Realm1 Name = "Realm Name"
Address = "127.0.0.1:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">
9. Change it to:
<Realm1 Name = "ANY REALM NAME HERE"
Address = "YOUR HOST'S IP:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">
10. Tell them to start Ascent and you start MySQL, Apache and Logonserver.
