How to host your MU Online server's website
Complete guide to getting your MU Online server's website online: the three hosting options (same VPS as the game / separate shared Linux hosting / local XAMPP or AppServ), how to upload files via FTP with FileZilla step by step, how to install the IonCube Loader in cPanel and in XAMPP, configuring the database connection in the site's config file (SQL Server and MySQL connection strings), setting folder permissions correctly (644 for files, 755 for directories, 777 for writable directories), how to troubleshoot blank pages and IonCube errors, linking the site to the game's player database so rankings and account registration work, and the security rules for the website database connection (dedicated user, never expose SQL port to internet).
