View source for I25 Multiple Server Setup

== Setup Multiple Servers ==
: This is going to be a very basic guide on how to cluster the servers together. Some of the actions I take in the guide are not required but will produce a better server environment.
: This guide also assumes you've completed a normal server setup already. If not head over to [[I25 Server Setup]] to get started.
: First I separated MS SQL Server onto its own machine. I did this for stability reasons and organization.
: Next update all of your CFG files to point at the Central SQL Server.
:: While updating CFG files also update the IP addresses inside. Any 127.0.0.1 entries need to be changed to the machines IP.
: Then update your database to ensure it isn't using 127.0.0.1.
:: <syntaxhighlight lang="SQL" line='line'> UPDATE cohauth.dbo.server SET inner_ip = 'MACHINELANIP' WHERE ID = 1; </syntaxhighlight>
: Now copy your C:\CoH from the primary server(CoH-SERVER) to your secondary server(CoH-MAPSrv01).
:: Update your CFG files so they have the correct LAN ip address.
: On CoH-SERVER change how you are launching launcher.exe. It will now need to start with a different paramenter.
:: <syntaxhighlight lang="SQL" line='line'> START C:\coh\bin\dbserver.exe -startall -zonelaunchers 2 </syntaxhighlight>
: At this point everything should be ready to start up! 
:: Fire up Launcher.exe on CoH-MAPSrvr01
:: Start AuthServer.exe, Launcher.exe, StatServer.exe, AuctionServer.exe, and MissionServer.exe on CoH-SERVER.
: The launcher should start starting maps on both servers. Give it a few minutes as there is a lot to start up.
