Part of the Server fixes.

Meant to become an easy to use and everywhere accessible administration interface mostly for tasks like player management. (Currently in early development stage)

Current features

• Viewing the map of the game as much as visited by players.

Activation

The following conditions must be met for the webserver to become active:

• ControlPanel must be enabled in serverconfig
• The contents of ​http://svn.illy.bz/7dtd/binary-improvements/webserver/ must be put in a folder named webserver directly in the game folder. Three ways to do so:
  • (recommended) Get the files with a 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
    svn co http://svn.illy.bz/7dtd/binary-improvements/webserver/
    

  • You can get that folder as a .tar.gz-file ​here and extract it to your game folder. Make sure to rename the extract folder from webserver.r{number} to just webserver
  • Download the files individually from SVN

If both are true the webserver will listen on the port defined as ControlPanelPort (from serverconfig) + 2. I.e. if you have set ControlPanelPort to 8080 (as it is by default) the webserver will listen on http://<yourIpOrDomain>:8082/

Is it running?

To check if the webserver was started look at the output_log.txt. It should contain a line like:

1.234 Started Webserver on 8082

If it does the server was started on the given port. If not one of the above mentioned conditions is not met.
