| Ok, so, I want to start my own MUSH. I have the precomiled win32 of PennMUSH, but I am unsure of how to load it on to my host server since I am NOT hosting it from my own personal PC. I am also not looking to develop any of the original programming or anything.
So, my question is, what do I need to upload to allow people to be able to connect to the MUSH when I'm ready for it to be used (I do have an address and port and all that)? I could be completely over-looking something.
I hope that all makes sense (because in all honesty, I have no real idea what I'm doing).
Thanks Much,
Kaitlynn | | Top |

| So you want to get the MUSH up and running on the server?
Look into the documentation, it should say how. |

| Is the host server Windows? Many of them are Unix. If they are Unix, you simply copy across the PennMUSH archive, and follow the installation instructions (configure, make, etc.).
After all, it is designed to run as a server. The PennMUSH distribution comes with a "readme" and "install" file - try reading those. |

| | Ah, ok. The host is running Linux actually. The only issue I have is that, I don't understand the whole compiling thing. Or is that something I don't have to worry about since I'm not hosting is from my own PC? | | Top |

| I explain what compiling is in this post:
http://www.gammon.com.au/smaug/howtocompile.htm
In your case, since the server is Linux, you need to get the full MUSH distribution as I described earlier, and install on the server. You may need a bit of help with that if you are not sure what you are doing.
If you have changed the "starter" database, you can then install that on top of the empty one in the distribution. Or, if you are really starting from scratch, you don't even need to do that. |
