Hello all,

My VPS Provider: Link

Commands:
sudo apt-get install python2.6
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

Nice ! But sound is too low

Great Job!

[Freelander]

Very good job MordyT!

[MordyT]

Thanks guys! I do appreciate it. Phase 2 is almost complete, trying to keep it clear and concise. Will try to boost the audio as well...

[MordyT]

Phase 2 Online. Sorry for the long delay since the last one, I was trying (and failing) to make my audio louder. I might need a better mic.

Anyways, feedback is always welcomed. If you have any idea on how to boost the volume, I would love to hear it.

[xlr8or]

Again, great job Mordy!

[MordyT]

And Phase Three is up. I may make an additional video on how to use a FTP client , screen, etc, but as far as the video, I think I am done.

excellent! i got this one working in no-time
Only thing i am wondering is, what if my VPS would crash. Is there a simpel way to automate it's startup?

[MordyT]

Google Monit, it can do exactly what you want...

Very nice one! Helped me a lot!
Now, the only thing i still can't figure out is:
How do i add this to the startup of my "server".
My roomate seems to be experimenting with linux/Ubuntu, so how can i make
sure , that when he reboots my machine, the b3 bot(s, since i use 3) auto start.
-EDIT-
Through webmin, i created a file in /etc/init.d called: b3_frank (executable)
in it, is this:

Code: c++

#!/bin/sh
# B3 Bot server Angel

case "$1" in
'start')
	/home/tijmen/b3bot_frank/b3_run.py -c /home/tijmen/b3bot_frank/b3/conf/b3_frank.xml
	;;
'stop')
	;;
*)
	echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
	;;
esac
exit 0

It sort of works, but the other 2 bots wont start, untill i kill this one. And the "b3_frank stop" doesnt work since it's empty...

There is a bash start stop script in the configuration forum here. Will help you a lot..
