Creating a web admin server

**Crzyhomer** · 02-21-2008, 10:48 AM

1. Install the latest patch (v1.2).
2. Download the webadmin addon @ http://ut3webadmin.elmuerte.com/
3. Unzip the addon into the root folder of your UT3 server
installation. Be sure to preserve the folder structure contained
within the zip file.
4. Start your server. This will create a new file in your
/UTGame/Config/ folder: - UTWeb.ini
5. Shut down your server
6. Open /UTGame/Config/UTWeb.ini in a text editor
7. Make the following changes to the file, setting the webserver port
to whatever you desire (default is 80):

Code:

    [UWeb.WebServer]
    ListenPort=80
    bEnabled=true

8. Save this file, restart your UT3 server. This will create a new
file in your /UTGame/Config/ folder:
- UTWebAdmin.ini
9. Shut down your server
10. Open /UTGame/Config/UTWebAdmin.ini in a text editor
11. Make the following changes to the file:

Code:

    [WebAdmin.WebAdmin]
    bHttpAuth=true

    [WebAdmin.BasicWebAdminAuth]
    RequireUsername=Admin

12. Save the file, restart your UT3 server (making sure ?Adminpassword=X is set)
13. Test WebAdmin functionality by opening a web browser and pointing
it to your server IP address. If you changed the default port in step
#6 above then specify the port in the URL like so:
http://127.0.0.1:<port>
14. Login using the following info:
- username: Admin
- password: [YourServerAdminPassword]

Thanks to the server admin list for detailing this out

good deal.. thanks for the heads up!

**sgar** · 02-21-2008, 11:52 AM

Is this supposed to work with linux server too?

yes, it should.

**buckiesmalls** · 02-21-2008, 02:18 PM

I see no UTWebAdmin.ini i see a defaultWebAdmin.ini

**Gnuk3** · 02-21-2008, 02:25 PM

I have also been having problems with the Webadmin. Mine install correctly and I can actually log onto the webadmin site, but it won't allow me to login. I have admin password specified in my bat file. What I have noticed is the following when I use the correct login details:

ScriptLog: No application found to handle request /
ScriptLog: No application found to handle request /S

Please help...

**Annihilator** · 02-21-2008, 02:37 PM

Be sure to stick it into the UT3 installation folder, not into the My Documents\ config path.

**Gnuk3** · 02-21-2008, 02:43 PM

yeah it is

**recoiledsnake** · 02-21-2008, 04:09 PM

Webadmin works after performing the steps in the first post. Thanks.

**buckiesmalls** · 02-21-2008, 04:37 PM

Still cant get it to create the UTWebadmin.ini after changing the bEnabled=true in UTWeb.ini

**clark kent** · 02-21-2008, 05:28 PM

Doesn't work for me! Maybe I put the WebAdmin folders\files in the wrong spot. Not the clearest directions on El Muarte's web page to be honest. My host GameServers is trying to do all the updates for 1.2 & WebAdmin and they are struggling too! Is anything ever going to be easy with UT3? Doesn't look like it from here...

**clark kent** · 02-21-2008, 05:30 PM

Still cant get it to create the UTWebadmin.ini after changing the bEnabled=true in UTWeb.ini

Same here! I took it from the download but maybe thats why it's not running for me either!

Al · 02-21-2008, 05:46 PM

WebAdmin does not work with GameServers.com. Put in a support ticket. The more we complain, the better.

**clark kent** · 02-21-2008, 05:54 PM

I did put in a support ticket and what do you mean that it doesn't work at GameServers.com? Do they have a known issue with UT3 that I need to be aware of? They seem like great people and the server runs well on their service.

My redirect doesn't work with them either fyi...

Al · 02-21-2008, 06:13 PM

My redirect works fine. I use defconservers.com.

And yes, I believe GameServers.com is the problem. From what I've seen, no one with a UT3 server with GameServers.com can get WebAdmin to work. Hopefully they can fix it.

**clark kent** · 02-21-2008, 06:26 PM

Thanks Al... I am going to give them 1 more day and then cancel if it's not working by then.

Al · 02-21-2008, 06:36 PM

I'm sure they'll get it fixed. I wouldn't cancel just yet. GameServers.com is an excellent service. Although, if they can't fix it at all, I may be doing the same. WebAdmin = a much needed tool for me.

**nasrott** · 02-21-2008, 07:16 PM

Set the port to 88 mine never like 80 because of my web server on my box....

**crianp** · 02-21-2008, 07:36 PM

I don't think web admin is that big a deal but then I am speaking from the fact I only use my server 8 days out of the month. I think we are all focusing on the negatives here when we should be acknowledging the good things about the new patch.

**clark kent** · 02-21-2008, 09:22 PM

If you admin a MATCH server and run Ladder matches and add lots of new maps you BET YOUR BOTTOM Web Admin is a HUGE deal!

And they fixed it

BTW how to configure the web admin to change map/game type ? I see the list box but it's empty :|

**Wowbagger** · 02-22-2008, 12:33 PM

Where can i find the Map-lists?
I want to take out Vertebrae from the maplist, how do i do that in the Webadmin?

Im also a bit uncertain about how/when i need to restart my server?
I cant find any restart server button.

Other than that it seems to do the work.

**BoneDaddy** · 02-22-2008, 01:43 PM

I haven't seen anything in the Webadmin that will let you remove maps from the cycle. I made my mods to the maps in the UTGame.ini file........

I got the Webadmin up and running last night and it was a pleasant surprise after months of consoling around. I'm hoping there will be future features added in here though for more control. A great start though.....nice to see this released!

**elmuerte** · 02-22-2008, 02:53 PM

map list management is not done yet

Al · 02-22-2008, 04:50 PM

Come on, El Muerte! Chop chop!

Just kidding. Thanks for finally getting WebAdmin into UT3.

**]GEN[** · 02-22-2008, 08:48 PM

**Flying_Dutchman** · 02-23-2008, 10:05 AM

Works like a charm.

Thanks for getting this (much needed) functionality back!

**brdempsey69** · 02-23-2008, 03:37 PM

Yes, once again, thanks so much for bringing this to UT3. It works fantastic.

**JAHsmokeyD** · 02-23-2008, 05:28 PM

Yes Finally

We can really host and play the game like it should have been almost 2 years ago now

Hope it will start catching on now that it is actually playable!!

thx for the hard work

**TheKinping** · 02-24-2008, 07:50 AM

Well - still there is the UTWebAdmin.ini - problem. I have neither UTWebAdmin.ini nor DefaultUTWebAdmin.ini. I am using the linux dedicated server.

Also the WebAdmin Files seem to be completly missing. have to download them seperately. (http://ut3webadmin.elmuerte.com/)

And btw: Great having the WebAdmin Tool back ;-)

These changes are absolutely NOT required.
bHttpAuth will set the form based login to a HTTP Authentication log in. Both are equally (in)secure. But the form based log in will allow you to log out, HTTP Authentication is cached in your browser for as long as the browser is running. Logging out does not always make the browser forget this information (it appears to work in Firefox, but not in MSIE).

RequireUsername can be anything you like, or empty. When it's empty any name is allowed.

**Froz3n** · 03-02-2008, 10:07 AM

I dont know where to input the password in the ini files to enter as admin.. Some help please?

**nDP::Deathmaker** · 03-02-2008, 11:29 AM

Put the admin password in your server startup command line ?AdminPassword=mypassword

**Froz3n** · 03-02-2008, 04:55 PM

Is it normal that i can´t find that??

Which file then btw?

What file would that command go into? Are you talking about the shortcut to your ut3.exe file you put that in? Would this apply to windows as well as linux?

**jcantu20** · 03-12-2008, 09:42 PM

Okay I've done all the instructions. I checked my logs and I see this:

ScriptLog: Web Server Created http://63.209.32.176:8080 Port: 8080 MaxCon 18 ExpirationSecs 86400 Enabled True

When I open up either FireFox or IE, the webadmin will not pop up.

Using this http://63.209.32.176:8080/ Also tried http://63.209.32.176:8080/ServerAdmin/ and http://63.209.32.176:8080/UTWebAdmin/

still nothing pops up.

I put this in UTWeb.ini

[UWeb.WebServer]
bEnabled=true
ListenPort=8080

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Oh by the way I'm with Gameservers.com

I do have the adminpassword line in my start up command line as well.

**HorizonX** · 03-13-2008, 02:19 AM

I'm w/ gameservers.com and I got webadmin working after using port 9009 & setting bhttpauth to true

**BioGizzard** · 03-25-2008, 10:55 AM

12. Save the file, restart your UT3 server (making sure ?Adminpassword=X is set)

hi thanks for the help in setting up my server with this guide, but i ran into an "IO" error concerning step 12.
at first i thought mabe it's an extra string in some ini file when i run a dedicated server, so i googled it some more and like 90mins later, I realised it refers to the commanline string when starting the dedicated server with a batch file or the command prompt.

anyway after countless attemts to set my admin password on my retail version i thought maybe they ment that i could also add it to my start-up shortcut from where i run the game, i tried it and it worked.

the point is could the author of this guide please add it into those steps @ point 12 to avoid confusion for the next poor sap that needs more details than the one line in the guide

for copy paste ease:

12.B alternatively you can add the password to the starup shortcut of your retail version, in the target box like so:
"C:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\Binaries\UT3.exe" ?adminpassword=youradminpassword
