2. Configuring Server Components

a. install all the prerequisites: 
yum install subversion mysql-server ant nano -y
b. update your linux box then reboot it: 
yum update -y && reboot

c. download/install l1j: (this is more or less a script, you can choose to copy/paste into a putty window, or just type it out in the console. Each line represents a carriage return. 

mkdir /lineage
mkdir /lineage/l1j-en-server
mkdir /lineage/l1j-en-server/log
cd /lineage
svn checkout http://l1j-en.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ l1j-en-read-only
cd l1j-en-read-only
ant
cd ..
cp -a l1j-en-read-only/config l1j-en-read-only/data l1j-en-read-only/maps l1j-en-read-only/lib l1j-en-read-only/serverstart.sh l1j-en-read-only/l1jen.jar l1j-en-server
chmod +x /lineage/l1j-en-server/serverstart.sh
d. fire up mysql: 
/etc/init.d/mysqld start && chkconfig mysqld on

e. update mysql root password:
mysqladmin password 'l1jdb'

f. create the l1jdb database: 
mysqladmin -pl1jdb create l1jdb

g. create mysql user and assign them full privileges to l1jdb: 

mysql -pl1jdb
use mysql;
insert into user (host,user,password,select_priv) values ('localhost','l1jdb',password('l1jdb'),'y');
flush privileges;
grant all privileges on l1jdb.* to l1jdb;
flush privileges;
quit

h. import sql script into mysql database: (you may want to ls inside that directory to see if theres new updates to apply) 

cd /lineage/l1j-en-read-only/db
mysql -pl1jdb l1jdb < l1jdb_m6.sql
mysql -pl1jdb l1jdb < update_050.sql
mysql -pl1jdb l1jdb < update_051.sql
mysql -pl1jdb l1jdb < update_052.sql
mysql -pl1jdb l1jdb < update_053.sql
mysql -pl1jdb l1jdb < update_054.sql
i. Edit server.properties: 
nano /lineage/l1j-en-server/config/server.properties
and configure the correct mysql user and password, weve setup l1jdb for username and password above, so use that. save 
Login=l1jdb
Password=l1jdb
j. Edit serverstart.sh: 
nano /lineage/l1j-en-server/serverstart.sh
and modify the java memory useage 
-Xms256m
  • note: nano seems to break the text when you modify a line longer than the screen, just make sure to rejoin the line that it wraps.

k. Continue to "Starting the server"

3. Starting the Server
a. launch serverstart.sh: 

cd /lineage/l1j-en-server
./serverstart

b. you can view the log file via: (it should say "Waiting for Connections!") 

tail -f /lineage/l1j-en-server/log/stdout.log

4. Tweaks (optional)
a. various enhancements

for i in haldaemon lvm2-monitor messagebus netfs cups; do chkconfig $i off; done
yum install readahead -y
