I am setting up a mod for my clan. My question is how do I set the redirect up to run off a dedicated server?

What I know:
1) I have unlimited acces to my server. (I rent the whole box from a data center.)

2) I know where the game file is located.

3) I know the settings for the cfg file.

What I really need to know is (please don't laugh), how do I get the web address without a domain name. (the www.domain.com)

I believe it should something like http://12.13.14.15.....????

Friendly bump?

I don't know if you mean this:
If you try to open your ftp in your browser it's ftp://ip example: ftp://194.145.24.14

Otherwise check this, maybe it helps:

You don't set up redirect to run off a dedicated server, redirect is what it says, you redirect the downloading of files from somewhere else other than the game server ie. a web server HTTP.
If it's a small mod and no custom maps then just have the clan members turn on downloads in their game and they will download at 12 kb/s from the game server but if they want speed then you have to set up HTTP redirect to a web server.
Here's a on site link:

Or just do some googleing for more info.

Ok, thanks for the help guys. I have it a on webhost and I am able to download the file from my browser. But it still downloads at 12 KBs.

This is my cfg.

set sv_allowDownload "1"
set sv_wwwBaseURL "http://www.alloutwarclan.com/redirect_space/games/cod4"
set sv_wwwDlDisconnected "0"
set sv_wwwDownload "1"

Sorry, I believe I found the problem. Please stand by.

OK this is my problem checked on a couple of things. I can access all folders beyond "redirect_space."

Sorry I keep reposting just figured the console messages may help..

Your config is fine, on the website just make 2 folders
"games/cod4/mods" and put your mod here.
"games/cod4/usermaps" and put custom maps here.

On the games server make sure you have
"Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare/mods" same mod here
"Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare/usermaps" same maps here.

As long as the mods and maps are exactly the same on both server and redirect, then everything should work as advertised.

If not working check for typos

Occasionally someone might be downloading at 12kb/s, they just need to stop the game and get them to reconnect to the server.
