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 (engine) 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/

If you want to enable basic authorization on the webserver create a file in the webserver folder called "protect". Username for login will be "admin", password is the same as for control panel.

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 (authentication enabled)

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