Hi,
I bought this source code privately from a seller and he set it up and the game was up and running, recently my dedicated server had to be moved due to a windows ransom that happened, so the host moved me to a new dedicated server. I also managed to backup the server files. Couldn’t get in contact with the seller since, so I am trying it set it up myself.
So what I backed up was the server files that contains the photoncontrol folders that is similar to the tutorial I followed and the database.sql.
All I know is this game runs on Photon and MySQL. I’m not sure what else I am missing but PhotonControl isn’t running and just says ‘Photon stopped’.
I followed this guide:
https://doc.photonengine.com/en/onpremise/current/getting-started/photon-server-in-5min
Also in the video it shows that I can download a free license? But I can’t seem to find it anywhere on the website.
Also turned off my firewall settings, I don’t think there is any routers involved as this is a dedicated server.
I also remember when it was working a few weeks ago I was playing around with PhotonControl and whenever I click on it it would flash white blue and says ‘Please Wait’ and have a pop up about the license. But now whenever I try to set it up on the server it just stays White and says ‘Photon Stopped’. I also clicked start as application for 'default and ‘load balancing’ but nothing happens.
Server details:
Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
net.framework 3.5 was installed as that popped up as a requirement when I clicked on PhotonControl.exe
Hope you guys can help me out.
Thank you,
Phan
