Getting started.
1. Get the latest version by downloading the latest.exe.
arkservermanager.freeforums.net/thread/5193/downloads
2. Follow installer and set where asm should install to normally this is in your c:\programs\ASM which is the best however you can install to another drive as well ie d:\ASM
3. Go to your base hard drive path. example c:\ Right click and select create new folder and name it ArkServers. You can name this what ever you want just make sure you dont have spaces in the name.
4. Go to your desktop and double click on the ArkServerManager.exe shortcut to start it and when it pops up select to run as admin.
5. When running for the first time it will ask you to select a Data Directory location click okay. You will then select the ArkServers folder you just made then click yes to confirm. It will download SteamCMD so just let that finish.
6. Click the green + at the top left of the manager to add your first profile. Once it creates make sure to go ahead and give your profile a name. I recommend not using any spaces in the profile name. Hit save.
7. Hit install and wait for it to download the server. Depending on your internet speed this may take a while.
8. Once the download is complete change the follow information below.
Must change: Set the server name to what ever you want. This name can include spaces.
Must Change: Set the password if you want one if not delete whats there and leave it blank to allow anyone to join.
Must Change: Set the Admin password for your admins to use in game commands with. DO NOT leave this blank or use the same password as the server password. Note this is also the password used for rcon to work.
Must Change: Select your lan ip address from the ip drop down list.
Optional: If your not hosting multiple servers then its recommended to leave ports as is but you must change them when running more than one server.
Example for raw sockets Note only the server port has two ports.
S1: 7777-7778 27015 32330
S2: 7779-7780 27016 32331
S3: 7781-7782 27017 32332 ect.
Example for non raw Note server port now only has one port.
S1: 7777 27015 32330
S2: 7778 27016 32331
S3: 7779 27017 32332 ect.
Optional: Enable rcon. This will allow ASM to give you more control over your server and give shutdown messages and some other things. This is also used to send some commands to your server without being logged in-game.
Optional: You can set up auto manage settings. Like turning the server off at a set time of the day. Including the server in auto updates/backups ect. Note for the auto update/back these must be checked/set in the global settings as well.(Gear icon at top right of the server manager)
9. Hit save. After making sure your ports are forwarded on your router hit start. The server will boot up once its done loading you will see the server name as ark#numberhere shut the server down then start it again once its back up your good to go.
