[FULL TUTORIAL] How to Install Metin2 Server Files (FreeBSD)

[RESOURCES HUB]

Upload Server Files​

You need:

• Server files (game, db, auth, share, etc.)
• Database backup (.sql files)

Upload your server files to your VPS using:

• FileZilla (SFTP)
• WinSCP
• SCP command

Example folder:

/usr/home/metin2

Move your files there.

---

Set Correct Permissions​

Go to your server directory:

cd /usr/home/metin2

Set permissions:

chmod -R 777 *

Or better (recommended):

chmod -R 755 *

Make sure game and db binaries are executable:

chmod +x game
chmod +x db
chmod +x auth

---

Install Required Packages​

Install required libraries:

pkg install gmake gcc cmake libmysqlclient

If your files are older (32-bit), enable 32-bit support:

pkg install compat12x-amd64

---

Configure Database​

Login to MariaDB:

mysql -u root -p

Create databases:

CREATE DATABASE account;
CREATE DATABASE player;
CREATE DATABASE common;
CREATE DATABASE log;

Create user:

CREATE USER 'mt2'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO 'mt2'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Exit:

exit

---

Import SQL Files​

If you have backup files:

mysql -u root -p account < account.sql
mysql -u root -p player < player.sql
mysql -u root -p common < common.sql
mysql -u root -p log < log.sql

---

Configure CONFIG Files​

Open your CONFIG file:

ee CONFIG

Or:

nano CONFIG

Make sure database connection matches:

SQL_ACCOUNT = localhost mt2 yourpassword account
SQL_PLAYER  = localhost mt2 yourpassword player
SQL_COMMON  = localhost mt2 yourpassword common
SQL_LOG     = localhost mt2 yourpassword log

Check:

• IP address
• Ports
• Channel settings

Save and exit.

---

Start the Server​

Go to your server folder:

cd /usr/home/metin2

Start database first:

./db &

Start auth:

./auth &

Start game:

./game &

If you have start script:

sh start.sh

---

Check If Server Is Running​

Check running processes:

ps aux | grep game

Check open ports:

sockstat -4
