   * (recommended) Get the files with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Subversion SVN] client. This way you can easily update the files later on by just using the SVN update command. E.g. with a console client:
 {{{
-cd /path/to/7dtd/game/folder
+cd /path/to/7dtd/game/folder  #default is /home/sdtd/engine
 svn co http://svn.illy.bz/7dtd/binary-improvements/webserver/

 If it does the server was started on the given port. If not one of the above mentioned conditions is not met.
 
+== apache and mod_proxy ==
+If you already have a domain for your server and want a nice looking domain like 7dtd.example.com for your internal webserver instead of http://example.com:8082/ you can use apache and mod_proxy.
+We will use apache and ubuntu to provide an example but any other web server or os may be used in a similar way. We will use "example.com" as our domain, please replace it with your own domain or IP address.
+
+Install apache2 (we assume you are logged in as root during this example) using either [https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/httpd.html the official documentation] or any other tutorial you find on the net. Basically just run
+
+{{{
+apt-get install apache2
+a2enmod proxy
+a2enmod proxy_http
+service apache2 restart
+}}}
+
+create a new config
+{{{
+nano /etc/apache2/sites-availible/7dtd.example.com.conf
+}}}
+
+and paste the following into it (assuming the ControlPanelPort is 8080)
+{{{
+<VirtualHost *:80>
+        ServerName 7dtd.example.com
+        ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
+
+        ProxyPass / http://localhost:8082/
+        ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8082/       
+
+        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/7dtd.example.com.error.log
+        LogLevel warn
+        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/7dtd.example.com.access.log combined
+</VirtualHost>
+}}}
+
+now active the new config and restart apache
+{{{
+a2ensite 7dtd.example.com.conf
+service apache2 restart
+}}}
+
+You should now be able to visit 7dtd.example.com and see the map.
+
+'''Please note that this is _not_ a secure way to hide the ControlPanelPort from your users! Port scanning is always an option!
