Here is how I installed my pvpgn (bnet) server. It will be installed on linux without the mysql or pgsql support, which are used to store account information and only benefit servers with more than 100 active users or if you need to have ladder information appear on your website. In this installation simple file form was used.
Download the pvpgn file from here and upload+extract it to some folder on your server.
Once extracted open the src subdirectory inside the main folder, type in console cd /path-to-pvpgn/src
Then type ./configure –prefix=<path-where-you-want-to-install> or just ./configure to default install in /usr/local
In console type: make and once that is done without errors, type: make install
Now install the support files from here and extract into, by default install directory: /usr/local/var/files
The configuration file is located in, by default install directory: /usr/local/etc/ – and its the bnetd.conf file. I didn’t have to configure anything other than the server name.
The server should work with just that. If you are behind a router like I am, then you should open ports 6200 and 6112… or that’s what I did 
Finally start your server by typing: /usr/local/sbin/bnetd (that’s again the default install directory)
Thats all! It would be nice to hear if this helps someone or if something should be edited, so leave comments 
i’ll try this, thx;)

I haven’t tried this on Windows, but I might give it a shot later today. Atleast in linux you need to install it with mysql support.
Hi, im trying to instal it on my server, but my server is with a company, now how do i do this? I dont know how to open the console threw cpanel or should i use another program ect?
What kind of server do you have? I am guessing that you will not be able to do this on the server, since you probably have very limited access. So I doubt you could install it, and if you could you’d need to somehow open the correct ports, and I doubt they’d do that for you.
hey can any one please tell me how to create your on bnet server on windows xp.step by step.Any help will be appreciated
i mean how to create you own server on bnet using windows xp
You need Borland C++ to compile it for Win32. There are some instructions in the docs directory when you download the pvpgn source. Sorry this is not a very good answer, but I hope it leads you the right way.
cant understand
plz tell step by step
I haven’t done this on windows so I can’t really walk you through step by step, but here’s what I said before, more detailed.
From http://pvpgn.berlios.de/index.php?page=files download the latest pvpgn stable source, open it and look for a folder called docs.
Once in docs look for the .txt files which explain how to compile the server with either Borland or Dev-C. The instructions might look pretty complicated, but if you follow them VERY carefully everything should work.
Other than that, I can’t really help you out more. Use linux
