In this tutorial you will learn how to setup an\u00a0SA-MP (San Andreas Multiplayer)<\/strong>\u00a0server on\u00a0CentOS 7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Let’s make sure the system is fully updated before we start. Then, we’ll be creating a new user for the server. Be sure to use a strong password.<\/p>\n

yum update\r\nyum upgrade -y\r\nadduser samp\r\npasswd samp\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Let us also open the necessary firewall ports.<\/p>\n
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=7777\/tcp --permanent\r\nfirewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=7777\/udp --permanent\r\nfirewall-cmd --reload\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Next, install the required libs to run the server.<\/p>\n
yum install glibc.i686 libstdc++.i686 -y\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Now, let’s switch to the user that we have just created.<\/p>\n
su samp\r\ncd ~\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Download the server software.<\/p>\n
http:\/\/files.sa-mp.com\/samp037svr_R2-1.tar.gz\r\ntar xf samp037svr_R2-1.tar.gz\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Open the config file in a text editor. We need to make some changes in order to run the server.<\/p>\n
cd samp03\r\nnano server.cfg\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
\n
On line 3, change\u00a0rcon_password changeme<\/code>\u00a0to your desired admin password.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Save the file. Your SAMP server is now installed.<\/p>\n
Customizing the server<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Want to customize the name and perhaps the slots of the server? For any of these changes, you can edit the\u00a0server.cfg<\/code>\u00a0file again, as we did previously.<\/p>\n
nano server.cfg\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
\n
On line 4, change\u00a050<\/code>\u00a0to the amount of slots you want. Max slots is\u00a0500<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
On line 6, change\u00a0SA-MP 0.3 Server<\/code>\u00a0to your server name.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Running the server<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Navigate to the following folder and run your server.<\/p>\n
cd \/home\/samp\/samp03\/\r\nscreen -dmS samp .\/samp03svr\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
The server is now running in the background. To shut down the server, run the following command:<\/p>\n
pkill samp\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Enjoy your new\u00a0San Andreas<\/strong>\u00a0server!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[105,231,242],"manual_kb_tag":[157],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2192"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2192"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2192\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2193,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2192\/revisions\/2193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=2192"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=2192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
