chmod +x /GO2_Server/GameServer/LoginServer
chmod +x /GO2_Server/GameServer/MapServer

Run in separate terminal sessions (or use screen):

screen -S login
./LoginServer
# Ctrl+A, D to detach
screen -S game
./GameServer
screen -S map
./MapServer

Alternatively, create a startup script start_servers.sh:

#!/bin/bash
./LoginServer &
./GameServer &
./MapServer &

    $pass = md5($_POST['pass']);
    $conn->query("INSERT INTO accounts (username, password) VALUES ('$user', '$pass')");

We’ll assume you have a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 server. Commands are for Linux, but Windows users can use WSL or native .exe versions.

sudo mysql_secure_installation
sudo mysql -u root -p

Inside MySQL:

CREATE DATABASE go2_db CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
CREATE USER 'go2_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_strong_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON go2_db.* TO 'go2_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Import the database schema:

mysql -u go2_user -p go2_db < /path/to/GO2_Server/Database/go2_db.sql

Edit /GO2_Server/GameServer/Config/database.ini:

[Database]
Host = 127.0.0.1
Port = 3306
User = go2_user
Password = your_strong_password
Database = go2_db

Edit world.ini:

[World]
ServerName = My Private Galaxy
MaxPlayers = 100
GamePort = 9933
LoginPort = 843
MapPort = 9934
