Localhost Edition:
Step 1: Download a source for free from our Create Private Server page, or if you already have one; you may continue to the next step.
Step 2: Go to the directory /home/, and make a folder named "localhost". Then go inside the folder you made.
Step 3: Upload the following files inside folder /home/localhost:
red5.zip
flex_3_sdk.zip
goverla.zip
source.zip
Step 4: Open the terminal, and type the following commands:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install apache2
apt-get install php5
apt-get install php5-mysql
apt-get install mysql-server
apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql
apt-get install subversion libapache2-svn
apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
apt-get install nano
apt-get install unzip
apt-get install zip
apt-get install ant
a2enmod php5
service apache2 restart
wget http://softlayer-dal.dl.sourceforge.net/project/phpmyadmin/phpMyAdmin/4.2.5/phpMyAdmin-4.2.5-all-languages.zip
Step 5: Unzip the following files inside folder /home/localhost:
flex_3_sdk.zip
goverla.zip
source.zip
Step 6: Once the files have been extracted go to /home/localhost/flex_3_sdk/bin/ and type the following commands:
chmod 777 fcsh
chmod 777 fcsh.exe
Step 7: Go to /home/localhost and then move folder goverla to the trunk folder (/home/localhost/trunk).
Step 8: Go to /home/localhost/trunk, then edit kavalok.properties. Replace the file with this code:
flex.sdk=/home/localhost/flex_3_sdk
flex.sdk.player=frameworks/libs/player
jre.dir=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.24/jre/lib
red5.dir=/home/localhost/red5
exe.extension=
deploy.flash.dir=/var/www/game
database.host=127.0.0.1
database.name=chobots
database.user=root
database.password=root
host.ip=127.0.0.1
host.address=127.0.0.1
instance.addresses=127.0.0.1
Your username may not be root, and your password probably isn't root, and your JRE directory may be different, so if it is make sure to edit it accordingly.
Step 9: Now go to /home/localhost/trunk/kavalok/src/, then edit Main.as. Anywhere where you see an IP address, replace it with 127.0.0.1.
Step 10: Go to /home/localhost/trunk/kavalok_admin/src/com/kavalok/admin/main/ and edit MainViewBase.as. Make sure to replace all IP addresses with 127.0.0.1.
Step 11: Open your browser of choice and go to 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin, then create a database called "chobots" and import ChobotsDB.sql.
Step 12: Go to the table Server and replace the IP address with 127.0.0.1 that's before /kavalok.
Step 13: Before you build, you need to type the following commands:
apt-get install git
apt-get install git-core
git init
Step 13: Type the following commands (This may take some time):
cd /home/localhost/trunk
ant build-all
Congratulations, you've successfully built your Chobots if you don't have any errors.
Step 14: Now we will have to start the server, so type the following commands:
cd /home/localhost/red5
screen sh red5.sh
You can also make an easy script to do this for you. Here's what I did for my script:
echo "Starting Red5, please wait..."
cd localhost/red5
sh red5.sh
How to play your private server? Open your browser of choice, and go to 127.0.0.1/game/MainLoaderFullScreen.swf. Enjoy and have fun!
EXTRA (SECURITY):
Before you can secure things, you'll need to enable use of .htaccess files, so:
Step 1: Edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default, then look for a section like this:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
# Uncomment this directive is you want to see apache2's
# default start page (in /apache2-default) when you go to /
#RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>
What you will have to do is change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All, this tells Apache that using .htaccess files is OK.Step 2: Restart Apache.
Step 3: Go to /var/www, and create a file named '.htaccess'.
Step 4: Copy and paste this code:
ErrorDocument 404 /index.html
ErrorDocument 403 /index.html
ErrorDocument 401 /index.html
Options -Indexes
AuthUserFile /home/localhost/.htpasswd
AuthName "Staff Only"
AuthType Basic
<Files "SpeakOfTheChobotDevilServiceAgent3.swf">
require valid-user
</Files>
Step 5: Save it, then go to /home/localhost and create a file named '.htpasswd'.
