Upload Server INI File

Uploading Your Server INI Configuration

If you are migrating your server from your own computer or another host over to your new Supercraft dedicated server, you will need to upload and modify your old configuration files so your server can start properly on the new network. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth transition.


Updating the INI File

  1. Open your server's File Manager from your hosting panel.
  2. Navigate to the configuration directory: /server-data/Server/.
  3. Locate your previous configuration file (usually named servertest.ini). Rename it to exactly pzserver.ini.
  4. Upload your newly-named pzserver.ini into the folder, replacing the existing default file.
  5. Right-click the newly uploaded pzserver.ini and select Edit.
  6. Find the line that dictates your game port: DefaultPort=
  7. Set this field to your new Supercraft server port (e.g., DefaultPort=27817).
  8. Find the line that dictates the UDP query port: UDPPort=
  9. Set this field to your Supercraft server's default port plus one (e.g., if your main port is 27817, set it to UDPPort=27818).
  10. Save the file and Restart your server to apply the new port assignments and configurations.
