[Devbest Exclusive Series] [Ep. 2] How to create a online R36B Habbo Retro using a VPS and IIS

How to create a R36B Habbo Retro using a VPS and IIS

Please note before starting this: if you currently own a Habbo Retro on a VPS using XAMPP I highly suggest you use this tutorial to migrate from XAMPP as XAMPP is simply for development purposes only. The migration isn't hard at all - just close Apachi and MySQL from XAMPP and then follow this tutorial. Transfer your htdocs folder content to your wwwroot folder in which I navigate to throughout the tutorial. Apologies if I have some sentence mess ups throughout the tutorial, this was done at 2 AM just before my VPS expired so I had to get it done now or never.

ive done your steps but i used xampp, when i try to connect via webbrowser to my domain it comes error 552: Connection timed out.
could be dat problem just because i used xampp instead of IIS ?

edit: ive done all steps exactly like you showed with the freenom and cloudflare, nameserver etc.

The production file should be the game folder - you should find it in tutorial 1.

I have been slacking big time - I have got a little bit of school before the 2 weeks break come so once it comes round I'll start pushing videos out again - a week or two maximum

That's your external variables or external override variables. Double check the address is correct.

Which files effect things like text on the webpage? this is probably such a stupid question but I guess I'm just overlooking them.

When starting the emulator I get the following errors, registering an account does not work either, what could I be doing wrong?

My client asks for flash, i allow it and then i just get a white screen. Help please?

First off I want to start by saying thank you very much for this tutorial, it has helped me greatly.
My hotel works perfectly, however, when I click logout it stalls for a really long time and then just redirects me to /me.php. Basically it's impossible for me to logout without clearing my cache. It's no big deal but I was wondering if you know how to fix this? I followed your tutorial in the first part and everything worked completely fine but for some reason on the VPS-hosted one I cannot logout.

@SentimentalX First of all, thanks for this. This was the easiest tut to follow, but I got a smidge stuck. The CMS is up an everything but when I load the client, it's stuck at 76%; I am running the emu and I've set the firewall settings. I'm not sure what else to do?

Edit: I fixed it, had some fixes to make in variables files.

It tells me I'm using an old version of PHP when trying to connect, this is the error:

PHP version is lower then PHP 5.6 your PHP version is 5.5.19

I've tried installing newer PHP's but it doesn't make a difference
