Unreal Tournament Dedicated Server Help

Remote Administration

Our server's web administration interfaces may be accessed here:

Note that an administrator account and password is required.

You may also access administration via the Unreal console. To log in, bring up the console with the ~ (tilde) key, and type:

adminlogin <password>

You should see a message indicating that administrative rights were enabled.

You can find information on the web interface here at PlanetUnreal. There is also a guide for administration via the console here.

Q: I can't get download redirection to work! I've spent hours/days/weeks on it, and my clients STILL download from the UT server!! WHY?!?

A: Download redirection is a PAIN IN THE ASS. Here are some anecdotes that may help you.

Well, I finally got download redirection working. I had EVERYTHING set up right, and was banging my head as to why clients were still downloading from the server. Well, first thing is that once a client hits the UT server instead of the redirector for even _one_ little file, it uses the UT server from there on out, EVEN IF THE FILES EXIST ON THE REDIRECT. So make sure your redirect has _every_ file available. Second problem was, I was having case sensitivity problems on the Unix web server, and I thought I'd be a REAL smartass motherfucker and use Apache's mod_speling to take care of them. WRONG ANSWER. Apache will return a "301 Permanently Moved" instead of a "200 HTTP OK", and UT interprets this as a FAILURE, and will therefore download everything from the UT server from then on! Case sensitivity is a pain in the _ass_, but just take care of it properly -- you've only got to do it once! Make sure your filenames on the redirector match the ENTRIES IN THE SERVERPACKAGES LINES in your UT INI file. **THIS** is the criteria for case sensitivity; NOT the case of the packages in your UT server's directories, or in the INT files.
