Qestion: Server.

[Viral Dragon]

Hey there,

So, I was reading through the topics. To put a server online, everyone
I've seen thus far has said Hamache, or use your physical computer. I
don't know wtf hamache is, and it's probably not what I want anyway
(that and all those tutorials seem to be for EO). I don't really want to use
my physical computer because I already use this for 2 other games I host,
one built off php the other php/ajax.

Anywho, what I'm looking to do is, merge my forum's/site's DB with the game.
So that when they register in a specific location of my choice (e.g.: http://site.com/game_name/register)
They are then to put in their details, and then when they do they are sent an email. Which they
verify. After which they are now able to login into the client, they will have access too. Which means
when they register, I want the DB to sync with the game's account data.

In a nut shell, I'm looking for instructions or help on how to edit the source, to sync with
online DB, for user account data, WAIT for email verification.

And also, how I would go about putting my server onto another host. I can't just upload a
server.exe file to a host and run it from there. Soo, .__. I currently have more than 7 servers
I could host it on, so finding a server isn't the problem, and they're all dedicated, so I have plenty
resources and I have root access to all of them. How would I set up the connections to do so.

Any help is appreciated.

you have to host it yourself or purchase an application server. Very few application servers allow execution of windows binaries (.exe)

@Twilight: So even if I had a Dedicated Linux Machine, I couldn't just download WINE and try
to run it in this? What if I got a Windows Dedicated Machine from say Host Gator, or a VPS.
those allow me to browse it like a normal computer.

I could live without the modification though, I can always just use an old computer to host it.

What I'm more interested in right now, is the ability to sync my site's DB with the game account
data. Frank your post didn't help, I'm, sorry. I get an error on all those links.

Does any one else know how I would sync the DB/account data?
