Re: installing on a remote server

Nevermind. I figured it out. I added ports 8087 and 8088 to a new inbound rule in the firewall. All set.
It's either a firewall issue or your host provider has not initialized your account. It should have come with the Microsoft IIS web server already installed on port 80. Did you disable that? If not, then you should see some kind of default web page at http://64.120.167.58. But that doesn't work either and running ping or tracert against it just returns "request timed out" errors so my guess is that something isn't initialized properly on your account.Mr.Victor wrote: The server at 64.120.167.58 is taking too long to respond.
I'm thinking it may be a firewall thing but not sure.
The Auto Start feature is associated with the current user. A rebooted server doesn't automatically start a windows session since all accounts are password protected, so there is no current user until you actually log in. There are registry settings you can make to force an automated login at bootup. In a future version of Poker Mavens, I plan on making the game server run as a Windows service (as opposed to a Windows application) and thus no one will need to be logged in.Mr.Victor wrote:I don't know why it didn't start up automatically. That is strange. I have it set to auto-start on bootup.
