Server configuration – ArmA: Armed Assault

Introduction

Setting up a server is not easy and is not that abious to to.

Basically, the server configuration consists of four elements:

• ArmA:_Startup_Parameters

• Server Basic Config file

• Server Config File

• Server Difficulty Settings File

Example Setups

Windows

Let's assume that ArmA is installed to "D:\Arma".

• Put your Server Basic Config file to "D:\ArmA\basic.cfg"

• Put your Server Config File to "D:\ArmA\server.cfg"

• Put your Server Difficulty Settings File to "D:\ArmA\Users\server\server.armaprofile"

• Command line / link target:

D:\ArmA\arma_server.exe -cfg=basic.cfg -config=server.cfg -profiles=D:\ArmA -name=server -mod=@mod1;@mod2

Linux

Let's assume that ArmA is installed to "/usr/home/arma-server".

• Put your Server Basic Config file to "/usr/home/arma-server/basic.cfg"

• Put your Server Config File to "/usr/home/arma-server/server.cfg"

• Put your Server Difficulty Settings File to "/usr/home/arma-server/server/server.armaprofile"

• Command line / link target:

/usr/home/arma-server/server -cfg=basic.cfg -config=server.cfg -name=server -mod=@mod1\;@mod2\;@mod3

NOTE: this line is only for debugging. When you want to run the server permanently, edit and use the provided script "armaserver" that comes with the linux server files.

NOTE2: the ';' denotes a line-end in Linux. So you have to put a backslash '\' in front of it to use multiple mods. Same if you use spaces in your directories: write 'my\ files'
