Update On: 23 Jul 2021cPanel Game Server Installation

cPGS is a software module that enables you to set up and manage a game server. You are even ready to run cPGS on its server and games on separate servers.

Requirements

gcc
Perl 5+
OpenSSL (including headers, regularly in a separate unit called something like openssl-devel or ssl-dev)
Net::SSLeay Perl module
IO::Socket::SSL Perl module
IPC::Run Perl module

1) cPGS should be installed in WHM, as the root user (not a reseller), in the “Manage Plugins” segment.

2) Exclusive servers (without cPanel installed) can be installed in WHM once cPGS has been fixed. There is a link on the Game Server Administration page to “Install Remote Server” which gives you several various means by which to establish the server remotely. If this isn’t operating for you for some reason, put in a support ticket and we can help troubleshoot it.

3) Next the installation on the cPanel or remote server(s), configure the /var/cpanel/cpgsd.cfg file. This refers to both remote and local connections.

allowedips: comma-delimited list of IP locations that are permitted to speak to the daemon server (default: 127.0.0.1)
logfile: the way to the log for cPGSD (default: /var/log/cpgsd.log)
sslpem: the SSL PEM file to use. This can be created by the cpgsd_install script (default: /var/cpanel/cpgs.pem)
pkgdir: location of the game server package files (default: /home/gameservers/)
secret: the distributed secret key/pass you will use within servers. Be assured this value is the same on any servers involved in cPGS
qstat: path to the qstat binary for getting stats on some games (default: /usr/local/bin/qstat)
root: the base list for cpgsd files (default: /var/Cpanel/)
port: port that cpgsd listens on. do not replace if at all potential. (default: 2092)

4) Start up the cpgsd.pl daemon on any game server boxes.
The start up script: /var/cpanel/cpgsd.pl
This will log data to /var/log/cpgsd.log by default.
You can change the log file by editing /var/cpanel/cpgsd.cfg and setting the logfile= variable.

5) Log in to WHM on the cPanel machine and begin configuring users you will allow running game servers.
6) Log in to the user’s cPanel account and configure the game server, begin it up and, assuming all is well.
That's all!!
