How to Host a RSPS

[EAF]

~ Step 1 ~​

Getting Java SDK

1. Go to this site http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
2. Download Java JDK, it should be called something like JDK 6 Update 16. Download and install it!

~ Step 2 ~​

Port Forwarding

Note. This is the step where the most errors are made, make sure you do this step right!

1. Now go to this site http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm to Port Forward your router.
2. Choose your model, then choose runescape private server, and it will give you a detailed explanation of how to port foward your router.

~ Step 3 ~​

Getting a ip with no-ip.com

Now go to this site http://www.no-ip.com/.

1. Sign up, Should be self-explanatory
2. Click the "Add a host" button

3. Leave everything Default, except the Hostname spot. Type in a hostname that people will use to connect to your server, like mine is rsforums. Then choose an extension, mine is no-ip.biz
which will make it
rsforums.no-ip.biz
4. Go back to http://www.no-ip.com/, and click the "Download" tab.

5. Choose your operating system, download, install it, and run it.
6. You should now have a screen like this

Now click the box next to your server name.

~ Step 4 ~​

Opening Port 43594

Note. If you have vista, instead of xp, this will be a bit different.
Note. If you have a mac, I have no idea how to do this step.

1. Open the START menu on your computer.
Note. If you cant figure this out, you cant run a server lol.
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click on Windows Firewall.
4. Click on Exceptions Tab
5. Click Add Port
6. Name it anything you want, but type 43594 into port number box, and choose tcp.
7. Click ok, then ok, then close out control panel

~ Step 5 ~​

Getting a Source

1. Download a source,
go here for starters
Source downloads

~ Step 6 ~​

Configuring your Java Paths

1. Click the START menu button.
2. Click My Computer
3. Now click your C drive. Your C Drive may be named many things, like IBM_PRELOAD, Local Disk, Hard Drive, etc. Just look for a drive with a C in its name.
4. Click Program Files, then Java.
5. Look for the folder that says jdk at the beginning of the name, like jdk1.6.0_02. Copy the name of this folder, or write it down.
6. Now open your server source.
7. Look for something called compile.bat (it may be called something similar), Right Click on this and press Edit.
8. In it, it should say something like "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin/javac.exe", now change where it says jdk1.6.0_02 to the name of the folder you wrote down. like if you wrote down jdk1.6.0_16, then change it to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\bin/javac.exe".

~ Final Step 7 ~​

RUNNING THE SERVER!

1. Click run.bat, run server.bat, etc.
