[Tutorial] How to run MCDzienny on CentOS using Mono

[radiovision]

This is what I have found to be the easiest way to install Mono and MCDzienny on a CentOS server. I have tested this on CentOS 5.6 but I believe it will work for CentOS 6 too.

Firstly we will install Mono, required to run MCDzienny on Linux systems.

1) Create a new repo config file

Code: Select all

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
vi mono.repo

2) Add the following lines to the file

Code: Select all

[Mono]
name=Mono Stack (RHEL_5)
type=rpm-md
baseurl=http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/download-stable/RHEL_5/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/download-stable/RHEL_5/repodata/repomd.xml.key
enabled=1

3) Update the yum cache

Code: Select all

yum clean all

4) Install the Mono server stack

Code: Select all

yum install monotools-addon-server

The installed binaries will end up in "/opt/novell/mono/bin".

5) Issue the following command to set up your shell environment so that it finds mono, mcs and the other mono tools

Code: Select all

source /opt/novell/mono/bin/mono-addon-environment.sh

6) Verify the version to check Mono installed correctly

Code: Select all

mono --version

Mono JIT compiler version 2.6.7 (tarball Mon Jul 19 18:28:58 UTC 2010)
Copyright (C) 2002-2010 Novell, Inc and Contributors. www.mono-project.com
        TLS:           __thread
        GC:            Included Boehm (with typed GC and Parallel Mark)
        SIGSEGV:       altstack
        Notifications: epoll
        Architecture:  amd64
        Disabled:      none

7) Then issue the following command to make the Mono environment we just created permanent

Code: Select all

cp /opt/novell/mono/bin/mono-addon-environment.sh /etc/profile.d

8) To complete the Mono installation we will install WCF, which will also install winforms for Mono among other dependencies

Code: Select all

yum install mono-addon-wcf

Now we have installed Mono, we now need to download and install MCDzienny

8) Download the latest version of MCDzienny and extract all the files onto your server

9) From the MCDzienny directory, open properties/server.properties and change the Running on Mono property to true

10) Run the lava server from the MCDzienny directory using the command mono --gc=sgen MCDziennyCLI.exe , hurray!

Any idea?

10) Run the lava server from the MCDziennyLava directory using the command mono --gc=sgen MCDziennyLava.exe

Try MCDziennyCLI.exe

That version is made for linux systems, MCDziennyLava.exe and MCDzienny.exe are for windows systems.

[dzienny]

I updated the first post. It now refers to MCDziennyCLI.exe instead of MCDziennyLava.exe.

[Siedge]

well the cli was the first thing i tried and it would give me this

Check if "Database/database.db" was created. If yes, check if "Database" folder starts with upper-case and "database.db" starts with a lower-case.

[Siedge]

Both are right.

[dzienny]

Both are right.

You may try changing the folder to "database" or "database.db" to "Database.db". It may be a matter of case-sensitiveness of Linux like systems. If it doesn't work there's always MySQL which in long run is more stable and better.

[Siedge]

i tried mysql already and i got some errors with that to let me try again so i can grab the errors

[Siedge]

okay so i started with mysql and it said it was missing a mysql mono thingy and i installed it and that fixed it but now i get this

After a few seconds it just closes down
