How to have dynmap on the same domain as my minecraft server. | Dynmap® | Page 1

I have my minecraft server on galaksen.org. When people want to connect to it they just type that and they are good to go, but nothing shows up on the web browser. I want to have dynmap on the same address if that is possible.

I am able to load it by typing in the IP and port, but having it on the domain would be a lot easier and better for the community I have it for

#

oh and I am using a Linode VPS if that makes any difference

You can use the domain.tld:port, but if you want to hide the port you need to use an external webserver, of which the reverse proxy is the easiest to setup

#

ah ok. I will look into that then. Thanks!

I am not really good with these things. Is there a guide somewhere that can show me how to set that up and connect it to dynmap and have it use the domain?

#

Google has ample guides to setup a webserver reverse proxy

restive monolith Jun 5, 2023, 9:23 AM

#

Yeah I looked at one, but I got failed to start service when testing it lol. Thanks for the suggestion though. I will look at some more guides to maybe understand it better

#

ok. After setting it to external server and doing some changes it now connects and does exactly what I want to. Thanks for telling me what to use, as it made it much easier for me to find info related to it!

#

any way for me to mark this is solved or something?

You just did, have fun with the plugin!

restive monolith Jun 5, 2023, 11:13 AM

#

never mind, still some issues, sorry. I am able to connect to it fine by typing galaksen.org, but a friend tried and he was not able to

#

he got this: web files are not matched with plugin version

#

pliant hornet You just did, have fun with the plugin!

thanks, works fine for me, but not a friend of mine lol

#

this is weird, restarting the browser gives me the same thing.

#

so I changed it to internal host and used 127.0.0.1 as the address. I can connect to the site itself, but the map doesn't show, I just get that error thing

Check the webserver error.log

restive monolith Jun 5, 2023, 12:09 PM

#

where is that located?

#

It's not in the dynmap folder

pliant hornet Jun 5, 2023, 12:13 PM

#

No, it's in the logs location of your external webserver you are using, idk where that is

restive monolith Jun 5, 2023, 12:17 PM

#

external Ubuntu server, I'll see if I can find it

#

this is the error log from apache. Not sure what it says, but if you can make any sence of it that would be a great help.

#

Oh I also tried moving the files from /web into /var/www/html and change it in teh dynmap config, but same result

pliant hornet Jun 5, 2023, 12:24 PM

#

It cannot connect to 127.0.0.1, maybe there is nothing running on that port? Assuming you are still configuring the reverse-proxy, dynmap's internal server also needs to be running

restive monolith Jun 5, 2023, 12:25 PM

#

it connects though? I am not sure how to fix this, but if you go to galaksen.org it will display the thing and the server is running. Can I just leave it at 0.0.0.0 in dynmap config though?

pallid coralBOT Jun 5, 2023, 12:25 PM

#

restive monolith it connects though? I am not sure how to fix this, but if you go to galaksen.org...

0.0.0.0 means any IP Addresses. You should not put that in the browser, instead use your minecraft server's IP.

restive monolith Jun 5, 2023, 12:27 PM

#

that's the thing. In the browser I just want to type galaksen.org. I then used the local IP in the config file and same for the apache config

pliant hornet Jun 5, 2023, 12:45 PM

#

I don't know apache enough to help, but if domain:dynmapport works, a reverse proxy without changing the dynmap config or files should work

restive monolith Jun 5, 2023, 1:03 PM

#

I think I somehow broke the config lol, as now I can't access the map even when putting in the IP and port, I'll just re-install and go from there

#

damn. That did it. Now the map shows up. Just had to delete the dynmap folder, restart apache service and now it works. Anyone can now view it and no errors.

Nice

I have a different question regarding another issue. Is it best to make a new thread for that one or can I just type it here? I am a bit unsure on how to close threads lol, but if I should do it I'll figure it out.
