Setting up SA-MP server on CentOS

[Chris White]

Hey guys,

In this topic, I'm gonna show you how to set up your own SA-MP (San Andreas Multiplayer) server.

Firstly, you'll need to download it first by this command:

Code:

wget http://team.sa-mp.com/files/samp03dsvr_R2.tar.gz

Then, you'll need to extract it:

Code:

tar -zxf samp03dsvr_R2.tar.gz

and then of course, change your directory to the one that you got from the archive. It's named samp03

Code:

cd samp03

Then edit the configurations file by this command:

Code:

vi server.cfg

Then start the server using this one:

Code:

./samp03svr

or

Code:

./samp03svr &

or also by using:

Code:

nohup ./samp03svr

To use a custom game mode, you'll need to download one from SA-MP forum (http://forum.sa-mp.com) or if you've already coded one, then upload it in the gamemode folder and edit the server.cfg file.

Dont you need to screen it?
Cause i believe it'll close if you just exit out of the shell session like that...

Well, if you use the nohup command, it will not close.
