IMPORTANT FOLDER-NAME WARNING

Do not use periods in the ServUO folder name. Vita-Nex 5.3.1.0 may interpret periods in directory names as file extensions.

Avoid:


Use:


A dotted folder name may cause Vita-Nex to fail during startup.


SUPPORTED INSTALLATION

1. Extract the included ServUO folder to a path without periods, such as:
   
   
   Code:

   C:\ServUO5741
2. Place the included Vita-Nex source under:
   
   
   Code:

   C:\ServUO5741\Scripts\Custom\VitaNex
3. The selected Vita-Nex folder must directly contain:
   
   
   Code:

   VitaNex.cs
   VitaNex_Init.cs
   VitaNex_Modules.cs
   VitaNex_Services.cs
   Modules
   Services
4. Make sure only one Vita-Nex source copy exists beneath Scripts. Keep backups outside Scripts.
5. Extract the Web Stack installer to a separate folder. Do not run INSTALL.cmd from inside the ZIP.
6. Run:
   
   
   Code:

   INSTALL.cmd
7. Select the Vita-Nex folder that directly contains VitaNex.cs, Modules, and Services.
8. From the ServUO root, run:
   
   
   Code:

   dotnet clean -c Release
   dotnet build -c Release
   
   Do not continue unless the build reports zero errors.
9. Start ServUO and confirm Vita-Nex, WebAPI, PHPGateway, and MariaDB initialize without fatal errors.
10. Log in as an Administrator, run [WebAdmin, and test:
    
    
    Code:

    http://127.0.0.1/
    http://127.0.0.1/php/info.php
    http://127.0.0.1/php/phpmyadmin/

CUSTOMIZED INSTALLATIONS

Installing into an existing customized ServUO/Vita-Nex server is an advanced and unsupported path.

Compatibility may be affected by modified cores, different versions, duplicate scripts, older modules, existing PHP or database servers, port conflicts, custom networking code, stale assemblies, file permissions, antivirus software, or third-party modules replacing the same services.

Before integration:

• 
  []Stop ServUO and back up the complete server.
  []Store backups outside Scripts.
  []Confirm the ServUO path contains no periods.
  []Confirm only one Vita-Nex source copy exists beneath Scripts.
  []Record existing ports, usernames, database names, and configuration.
  []Review existing WebAPI, PHPGateway, MySQL, MySQLServer, WebSockets, and Dynamic DNS files.
• Run a clean Release build and test each component separately.

Do not overwrite new modules with entire older module folders. Merge custom changes manually.

SUPPORT POLICY

Support is primarily provided for issues reproducible on the included ServUO and Vita-Nex baseline.

Support and compatibility fixes are not guaranteed for customized installations, unrelated modifications, third-party scripts, existing runtimes, database configuration, port conflicts, permissions, or antivirus interference.

When requesting support, provide:

• 
  []Exact ServUO and Vita-Nex versions
  []Complete installation path
  []Complete build output
  []Complete startup log
  []Full exception and inner-exception details
  []File paths and line numbers
  []Relevant custom modifications
  []Windows version and dotnet --info
  []Ports used by WebAPI, PHP, MariaDB, and ServUO
  []Antivirus quarantine history
  []Exact reproduction steps
  []Whether the issue occurs on the untouched baseline

A screenshot alone is usually not enough.

ADMINISTRATION COMMANDS


SECURITY

• 
  []Remove info.php after testing.
  []Change the temporary MariaDB password.
  []Keep WEBSTACK-CREDENTIALS.txt private.
  []Do not publicly expose phpMyAdmin without authentication, TLS, firewall rules, and network restrictions.
  []Do not post passwords, API tokens, or provider credentials.
