BeBot webserver hosting questions

(1/2) > >>

djinnerman:
Hi there,

I recently got the BeBot client up and running for AoC.  Took a few tinkering and .conf updating per forum updates to get it to work properly.

I was thinking on how I did not want to have my computer running 24/7 and wanted another means to have the server running.  I was either going to get a simple server box (old computer) or consort to using a php, mysql support webhosting server.  The site that I'm using is x10hosting.com.  I managed to set up a MySQL database, but I am baffled on what i need to do next to have it working remotely.

What other things could I do to step closer to my goal?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

would be interessting if it is a windows or linux server.
There are some guides here on the boards in the "Helpful Posts" Section

Drizzurdeen:
take a v-server on euserv.com ... they are free and bots running like a charme on it ^^ ... this would be the easiest way i think

uberjon:
You would need shell access, not sure if jailed works. I would suggest a VPS/dedi

Any shared shell access would welcome your aoc account to be compromised. Furthermore you will need to edit the bot files to disable the 'webserver killswitch'

Arkanaut:
I dare picking this topic up again although it might mostly be but the sort of "are you really, REALLY sure" stupid question, however:

I've not even started my bot running, but so far it had always been my idea to launch it on any sort of rented/free webspace / website-server. For the reason given in the op; I've no server-pc, don't want to / can't run my own, don't want my guildmates to only have a bot when I am online with my machine.

So, first thing I discover when looking into the main.PhP is this line:


--- Quote ---"   die("BeBot does not support being run from a web server and it is inherently dangerous to do so!\nFor your own good and for the safety of your account information, please do not attempt to run BeBot from a web server!");"

--- End quote ---

- Hence my question: are you really, REALLY sure there is no option for me how I could run the bot somewhere else than on my own PC?
