UT2004 Redirect Problem

Hey guys, this is my second day trying to figure out how to set a redirect on my LAN server. I used Xwebserver and then Abyss Web Server, I added the ip to my server config but it won't download the files.

Code:

[IpDrv.TcpNetDriver]

AllowDownloads=False

ConnectionTimeout=180

InitialConnectTimeout=200

AckTimeout=1.0

KeepAliveTime=0.2

MaxClientRate=20000

MaxInternetClientRate=10000

SimLatency=0

RelevantTimeout=5.0

SpawnPrioritySeconds=2.0

ServerTravelPause=3.0

NetServerMaxTickRate=25

LanServerMaxTickRate=35

DownloadManagers=IpDrv.HTTPDownload

DownloadManagers=Engine.ChannelDownload

AllowPlayerPortUnreach=false

LogPortUnreach=false

MaxConnPerIPPerMinute=5

LogMaxConnPerIPPerMin=False



[IpDrv.HTTPDownload]

RedirectToURL=http://myip:8000/Unreal.Tournament.2004/

ProxyServerHost=

ProxyServerPort=3128

UseCompression=True



[UWeb.WebServer]

Applications[0]=xWebAdmin.UTServerAdmin

ApplicationPaths[0]=/ServerAdmin

Applications[1]=xWebAdmin.UTImageServer

ApplicationPaths[1]=/images

bEnabled=true

ListenPort=8080

ServerName=http://myip:8000/Unreal.Tournament.2004/

I searched and read a lot of tutorials and tips but I can't get this to work. :(

You're not supposed to mess with the [UWeb.WebServer] ServerName property. That's for webadmin, not redirected downloads.

A redirected download server is a separate HTTP server (you can't use the built-in one that runs webadmin, it won't work) that has a uz2-compressed copy of each package file that clients may want to download. For example, if you host the Jailbreak game mode, you should be able to enter the URL "http://myip:8000/Unreal.Tournament.2004/Jailbreak.u.uz2" in a standard web browser and get the compressed Jailbreak.u file.

One thing that I didn't try is to compress/convert the u files to uz2. Is this step really necessary? I mean can't the client download the file directly it it's original format/uncompressed?

I also tried my webadmin with a direct to file link and it's working, as soon as I hit Enter it will prompt me to download the file. http://myip/Unreal.Tournament.2004/M...P2-Acatana.ut2

I can't figure out what am I doing wrong. :(

I also found this:

Code:

Setting RedirectToURL= - a big GOTCHA on a LAN server - you need to specify the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of the Redirect server for this to work.



 - Example: (assuming your server is mywebserver on the network domain.local)

            (For Windows use 'ipconfig' at a command prompt and look at 'Connection Specific DNS Suffix)

  This will FAIL TO WORK - http://mywebserver/path/to/folder/

  This will WORK        - http://mywebserver.domain.local/path/to/folder/

  Or this will WORK      - http://10.0.0.20/path/to/folder

I'm not 100% sure how a FQDN works, but I found out that I can't have one on Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm not sure what to do...a workaround...something.

Come on guys, help me out a little bit. Don't let Unreal Tournament die. :) (I'll probably make the server dedicated after a few tweaks here and there)

THAT IS AWESOME! Whoever made that webserver is a fantastic guy, it works great. (although I'm not sure how long it's gonna last so it would have been nice to know what the hell did I do wrong, but I'm cool with this anyway)

I don't know if I should do a new topic or ask my question using this one but: How do I get my server to be listed in the Internet server list?

Code:

[IpDrv.MasterServerUplink]

DoUplink=true  //even though I'm using some user made mutators the console says my server is Approved/Accepted

UplinkToGamespy=false //I'm not sure this is necessary, is it?

SendStats=false //I know this records the player stats but is this necessary?

ServerBehindNAT=false //not using a router so I'm not sure about this one

DoLANBroadcast=true

Are there any other settings that I shoud do to get my server listed on the Internet server list?

PS: I think I read somewhere that gamespy will (or is already) die.
