The Mana World Account Manager

The Account Manager is the web interface for users to manage their account from outside the game.

Users can reset their password, see their character stats, and change the email associated with the account.

Installation

To install you need to checkout tmwweb from SVN, specifically the ExceptionFault branch.

svn co https://themanaworld.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/themanaworld/tmwweb/branches/ExceptionFault

You will need a web server running PHP 5.1 or later, with pdo_sqlite.

On FreeBSD you will need to install ports databases/php5-pdo_sqlite and security/pecl-hash along with lang/php5.

Configuration

There are several config files that have to be prepared for your specific environment. You can find all config files under ./system/application/config

Tmwweb comes with a default configuration file called "config.default.php" You should use this file as template to set up your individual configuration. Make a copy of this file and name rename it to "config.php". In general you have to modify the following settings:

   set the "base_url" to the url of your installation.
   define the desired "log_threshold" to your needs

Do the same with the file "database.default.php" and "email.default.php". Rename them to "database.php" and "email.php" configure the options inside for your needs.

The following configuration files are shipped with defaults that may or may not be suitable for you.

   menu.php
   tmw_config.php
   

Instead of modifying the files directly you should make a copy of them and rename them to <prefix>.user.php, so "menu.php" gets "menu.user.php". Tmwweb first loads menu.php, afterwards menu.user.php (if it exists) and overrides the default values with your custom settings. The advantage of this method is, that upgrading tmwweb won't break your configuration.

All other files in the config directory shouldn`t get touched by you!

After proper configuration of all files you have to ensure that the webserver has write access to the ./system/logs, the ./images/items and ./data directory.

   chmod 777 ./system/logs
   chmod 777 ./data
   chmod 777 ./images/items
   

Tmwweb tries to store cached data read from other modules like tmwserv in the data directory for faster access. Therefore you should allow the webserver to create files there. The logs directory is used for logging as you can think.
