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.
