Downloading the required software and files:
To get a PvPGN server running on your VPS you are going to need to download the latest version from the official website.
Software and files needed:
- PvPGN server
- PvPGN support files
Select the required files and save them to your hard drive.
Since we will be installing on a Windows VPS download the *.zip files.
Connecting to your VPS:
In order to get the required files from your computer to your VPS you
will need to mount the hard drive they are stored on using Remote
Desktop Connection from your windows PC.
- Before you press connect open up the Options tab, this is how
you will get the files from your computer to your VPS. On the Local
Resources tab under the Local device and resources you will find the
“more..” button.
- Here you will find all of the available drives on your computer
that can connect to your VPS. Select the drive that you saved the
server files to. If you saved it to your desktop than the drive you will
have to connect is the main drive or C: drive, if you saved it to a
second drive then you will need to select that drive instead.
- When you have finished selecting your drives you can continue to connect to your VPS.
Once you have connected go to My Computer where you will find the
drive that you’ve loaded. Navigate to where you saved the server files
and copy them over to the desktop of your VPS.
Installing the software and files:
After the files have been moved to the desktop we can install the software, starting with extracting the files from the *.zip.
