last night killersclone helped me work out the remaining issues with the control panel, and now it works!
this gives us the ability, when we switch to the new hardware, to authorize people to remotely start/stop/reboot/update the servers from any web browser!
clone launched and updated them several times, i was able to change his permissions from seeing everything, to seeing all the servers, to seeing only the tf2 servers (yes, servers; there will be two at some point; one open like now, the other a password protected practice server which is more flexible to changes etc. Im also planning on three L4D servers, just not sure if i have the bandwidth to run everything; we will have to wait and see. the Hardware will certainly support it. )
for those 'renting' servers from a hosting company, this isnt a big deal, since they already had this feature built in else they couldnt control their server. But for us it is huge, since that was the last piece they had that we didnt, and we have many more things they DONT have and wish they did (like a dedicated server that allows us to run whatever we want, and change it whenever we want).
And we dont have to continuously beg the members for $$$ to do it!!!
