If your new to running a server. Here are 2 things that are a must read.

Make that 3 things
http://www.mohadmin.com/nuke/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=9

As for your questions.

1) do i have to upload anything to it and if i do wots the path name i have to upload to do i have to create a dir or sumthink
The path on the server is the same as the path on your computer.
All maps or mods plus your server.cfg file go in the
mohaa/main directory

2) if i wana put custom maps on my server so that i can play them how do i do that.
1st you will have to upload any maps you want to play into the mohaa/main directory. Then you will have to add the map names to the map rotation list in the server.cfg file also in the main directory.
The line in the server.cfg file will look like this.
seta sv_maplist "dm/mohdm1 dm/mohdm2 dm/mohdm3 dm/mohdm6 dm/mohdm7"
The line may look a little different depending on if your server is setup to play TDM or OBJ.
Add the name of the map to the rotation list.
Make sure you use the real name of the map and not just the name of the .pk3 file.
Sometimes they are the same other times not
ie...the file User-push_cityhall.pk3
but the map name is push_cityhall

ok thanx for taking the time to answer me dude but the is one prob wen i log on to my server through ftp on there is two files unrealtournament and an upload dir with ut stuff in it so wer do i upload my stuff to

[breakaway]

I am assuming this is a Linux box your are hosted on?
if you don't want UT in there then do this

rm -Rf UT

assuming UT is the directory where all the UT stuff is

if so here's what you need to do....

in the root directory that you ftp into you need to upload your entire MOHAA directory from your PC or any PC with a copy patched to v1.11

download the linux dedicated server pack from here:

http://www.mohadmin.com/nuke/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=2

unzip/extract the files, read the readme and ftp the two files:
fgameded.so
mohaa_lnxded
into the MOHAA folder (not main)

you will need some sort of shell access to get the server started and that's done by typing :
./mohaa_lnxded "g_gametype 2" + "map dm/mohdm2" + "exec newconfig.cfg"
while in the MOHAA directory. This is obviously a very simple explanation but it should get you started.

Additionally you may want to work up a better config file , and give shockwave's linux admin tool a shot.

Tony,

Is your rented server already running MOHAA and accessible from the outside? Basically can people already join your server and play? It almost sounds like, from your posts, as if MOHAA is not installed yet on your server that you're renting.

ok thanx for taking the time to answer me dude but the is one prob wen i log on to my server through ftp on there is two files unrealtournament and an upload dir with ut stuff in it so wer do i upload my stuff to

[tony]

yes ppl can join on to it through games spy it is a jolt server and its called commi
the ip is 195.149.21.20:12003it is running and i can change the map list but i can only change the normal maps that are standerd ie the beach v2 and so on i dont no wer to put custom maps on the ftp i think that thay may not of put it on for me on the ftp

[tony]

the port is 12203 sorry

[SgtD]

It sounds like they didn't enable the FTP correctly. You need to have access to the MOHAA\MAIN folder at the very least. I would contact them via a phone call and have them check on this for you. You mentioned that there were two folders already there, an upload and a URT folder.... what is inside these folders?

[tony]

thanx for tanking timeout to answer me dude i think your right about phoneing them i will do that
just unreal stuff i e maps sounds just the ut standard stuff
