Basic setup

Before we run our compiled PtokaX executable we need to do at least minimal setup.
In source we have config examples, we use them to setup your PtokaX hub.

First we rename cfg.example directory to cfg with this command: mv cfg.example cfg
Go to cfg dir with this command: cd cfg

  • a. Minimal settings
    To be able to run PtokaX we need to set at least hub name and hub address.
    Open Setting.xml in text editor with this command: vim Settings.xml
    • To change hub name:
      Search for this line <String Name=“HubName”>&lt;Enter hub name here&gt;</String><!– Hub name. Min length 1, max 256. –> and change &lt;Enter hub name here&gt; to name of new hub.
      Result can look like this: <String Name=“HubName”>My first PtokaX hub</String><!– Hub name. Min length 1, max 256. –>
    • To change hub address:
      Search for this line <String Name=“HubAddress”>&lt;Enter hub address here&gt;</String><!– Hub address. Min length 1, max 256. –> and change &lt;Enter hub address here&gt; to address of new hub.
      Result can look like this: <String Name=“HubAddress”>some-address.some-domain.eu</String><!– Hub address. Min length 1, max 256. –>
  • b. Creating registered user. (Optional)
    When we are here, it is good idea to create registered user with master account for yourself.
    Open Setting.xml in text editor with this command: vim RegisteredUsers.xml
    • To set nick:
      Search for this line <Nick>Example_Nick</Nick> and change Example_Nick to your nick.
      Result can look like this: <Nick>MyNick</Nick>
    • To set password:
      Search for this line <Password>Example_Password</Password> and change Example_Password to your password.
      Result can look like this: <Password>MyPassword</Password>
    • To set profile:
      Search for this line <Profile>3</Profile><!– 0 for master, 1 for operator, 2 for vip, 3 for reg –> and change 3 to your profile.
      Result can look like this: <Profile>0</Profile><!– 0 for master, 1 for operator, 2 for vip, 3 for reg –>
