Default Re: How to set up an online autohost like Llamaserver?

I'd like to set up online PBEM autohost (like Llamaserver) for a game I'm currently hosting manually.

Two questions:
1) Is there any premade web-stuff (PHP/ASP/HTML) available for player/host interaction (GUI), or do I have to write this myself?
2) Can I use my own serial when I install Dom3 on the non-playing autohosting server - or maybe I don't need to install the entire game when I only need hosting (Dom3.exe commandline)
Just for the sake of answering..
There are lots of examples of code. But it would help to know what OS you are talking about. Windows XP, Vista, Mac, Linux?

You can use your own serial. Thats a wonderful thing that the devs did. The host doesnt check its own serial unless you use it to play in someones game (avoid that). Plus you can install your dom3 on a windows desktop for your own playing, and install it on a mac or linux server for hosting without having to buy another version.
