Note: Both server and client should be updated to current A2OA stable 1.63.131129 or newer -- DO NOT USE BETA BUILDS, wait until A2/OA updates are pushed to the stable channel.

|
|
Note: Do not copy ArmA 2 addons directory/pbo files into the ArmA 2 OA/Expansion directory, instead load the ArmA 2 addons in a -mod flag (default directory EX) `"-mod=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2;EXPANSION;ca"`
|
|
<br />
|
|

|
|
Note: if you have copied your ArmA 2 addons into your ArmA2 OA/Expansion/Addons directory then you should uninstall ArmA 2 OA, completely delete your ArmA 2 OA Expansion folder, then reinstall

## Basic Install Guide
|
|
|
|
1. Install or update your Visual Studio Redistributable packages using the installers found in the included `Visual Studio C++ Redistributables` directory.
|
|
|
|
2. Install or update [[MySQL Server](https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/)] on the server. Create a new MySQL database called `dayz_epoch`. Execute the epoch.sql file on the `dayz_epoch` database. Execute add_recommended_mysql_events.sql on the `dayz_epoch` database. Make sure the MySQL event scheduler is turned on.
|
|
|
|
3. [[Download](http://dayzepoch.com/a2dayzepoch.php)] both client and server files and extract to the root `Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead` folder. Example: `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead`. On some Windows systems dll files may need to be unblocked. Right-click the file, click properties and click "Unblock".
|
|
|
|
4. Move the `DZE_Server_Config` folder to the root of the drive (C:\ on most systems) or a similar location. For security, it is important this folder is located outside the arma2oaserver.exe folder and its sub-folders.
|
|
|
|
5. Open HiveExt.ini and adjust the MySQL settings. Open the desired *_map.cfg in the same folder and change the admin password. Open BEServer.cfg in the BattlEye folder and change the RCon password.
|
|
|
|
6. Launch the server with the desired *_map.bat file.
|
|
|
|
7. It may be necessary to forward [[these ports](https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding)] in the server software and hardware firewalls.
|
|
|
|
8. To run multiple servers on the same machine, create a copy of the DZE_Server_Config folder with a new name. Update the DZE_Server_Config folder name in *_map.bat. Use different port numbers in *_map.cfg and *_map.bat for each server. HiveExt.ini settings need to be changed if multiple databases are used.
|
|
|
|
## Basic Upgrading Guide
|
|
|
|
1. Perform steps 1-3 in the basic install guide above. Update the server's MPMission, dayz_server, BattlEye filters and HiveExt.dll.
|
|
|
|
2. Connect to the MySQL server. Make a backup. Open the *_Updates.sql file and read the comments, especially at the bottom. Run the appropriate updates on the dayz_epoch database.
|
|
|
|
3. Inside the server "Keys" folder remove any DayZ_Epoch*.bikey files from previous versions.
|
|
|
|
4. Make sure you either start with a fresh dayz_server.pbo or you diffmerge your current one against the latest version! THIS WILL BREAK THINGS IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS STEP.

## SECURITY ADVISORY
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The included `DZE_Server_Config` startup bats and files/folder structure is provided as an example only and should be configured to your needs, passwords NEED TO BE CHANGED, and profile/config folders should be placed outside your OA Directory
|
|
NOTE: DO NOT FORGET TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD IN BEServer.cfg
|
|
|
|
1. YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR SERVER CONFIG/PROFILES DIRECTORY OUTSIDE YOUR ARMA 2/OA ROOT DIRECTORY SO IT CANNOT BE READ BY HACKERS/SCRIPTERS. THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW ARE FOR MODIFYING/MOVING EXISTING STARTUP PROCEDURES AND PROFILE DIRECTORIES
|
|
|
|
2. In this example we will place our profiles directory in `C:\DZE_Server_Config`. Be sure to select the correct map .cfg for your server!
|
|
|
|
3. Modify your startup.bat `-BEpath` `-cfg` `-config` `-profiles` startup flags to point to your new server config directory and files; an example is provided in step 4. You can gain additional security by appending random characters to your config file names and BE folder.
|
|
|
|
4. `"-profiles=C:\DZE_Server_Config" "-BEpath=C:\DZE_Server_Config\BattlEye" "-config=C:\DZE_Server_Config\11_chernarus.cfg" "-cfg=C:\DZE_Server_Config\basic.cfg"`
