Metaserver host move, 2011-sept-08

Post by Leaf »

The metaserver hosts (v1 and v2) used for Crossfire will be moving to a new server on 2011-Sept-08.

The server IP will be 63.170.91.103, the host name (as in the web address of crossfire.real-time.com) will be unchanged - but may take a few hours for the DNS change to fully propagate.

For many people this move will go unnoticed. No changes need to be made on their part.

For those who have special firewall rules, port forwards, etc. this *may* require an rule or setting change on your part to use the new server IP address. Those who play Crossfire from behind a firewall may also need to make rule or setting changes on their side as well.


Anyone who has a server that is listed on the metaservers, no change or update is required on your part from the Crossfire side of things.

If you want to test and find out before next week, add the following to the metaserver2 file found in the share folder, then restart the Crossfire server.

Code: Select all

metaserver2_server
http://crossfire-1.real-time.com/metaserver2/meta_update.php

Then wait a few minutes for your server to show up here:
