If Update Panel did not work do a Manual update!

• Move "old/includes/mysql.inc.php" to "includes/mysql.inc.php"

Migrating

Migrating requires a few hours of time and a medium level of knowledge about GameCP. We offer migration support starting at $40 to migrate up to 2 machines and 40 users.

Setting up for the new GameCP

• Move the panel to a new folder, ie "old"
• Download GameCP from http://gamecp.com
• Unzip it
• Upload the files to where GameCP was installed, not the "old" folder
• Copy "includes/mysql.inc.php" from the "old" folder to the includes folder you just uploaded
• Browse to the `installer` folder from a web-browser

Fix your license

• Login to http://my.gamecp.com
• Goto My Services and view your license
• Click Reissue

Running the migration wizard

• Browse to `installer/migrate.php`
• If it does not exist re-upload the installer folder

It is OK to see errors here! You can e-mail support if you have questions about them.

Fix your games

• Goto Manage Games > Edit > IP & Ports and set a GameQ Code for your game(S)
• Make sure everything is working in Manage Machines
• You may need to 'rebuild' servers that dont start
  • Goto Games tab
  • Use the checkbox on the left to pick the game(s)
  • Use the select list above or below and pick Rebuild
• Update your games pre-modes!!

You will want to update users and games 'premodes'

cd service##
cd ip-port
cd srcds_l

Everything like that - must be removed. It is ok to have "cd orangebox ;"

Ensure none of your start modes have this:

STARTMODE=""

This is no longer used.

 

Uninstalling

Web Server

• Stop all game servers
• Remove all clients
• Remove your GameCP Database
• Remove your GameCP web-server files

Linux Remote

• Stop the service

/etc/init.d/gamecp stop

• Remove the backend

rm -rf /usr/local/gcp

• Remove service script

rm -f /etc/init.d/gamecp

• Close port 240 on iptables
• Disable gamecp service

# might not be correct
chkconfig --del gamecp

If you did the steps prior to this you will most likely be told gamecp is not found since you used the rm -rf and rm -f commands

Windows Remote

• Remove GameCP Remote from the Windows Control Panel
