==== Automatic Updating(CURRENTLY NOT WORKING DUE TO GMOD STORE CHANGES) ====
With Prometheus, web updates ''can'' be automatic, so long as you meet all of the requirements for being able to do so.<br><br>
[[File:updates.png|850px]]

===== Requirements for Auto-Updating =====

The only requirement for being able to auto-update Prometheus is having the right directory permissions. On Linux, execute the following in a terminal to allow for automatic updating:

cd path/to/installdir
sudo chown www-data:www-data *
sudo chmod 775 updates

On Windows, it should already be enabled. If it is not, set the Guests group to have read/write access to the updates folder in order to allow for automatic updating. If using IIS, grant the IUSR account read, write and execute access to the updates folder.

==== Manual Updating ====

Performing a manual update for the Web and MySQL portion of Prometheus is not hard!

* Download the latest distribution from [https://gmodstore.com/scripts/view/565 our Gmodstore page].
* Under 'Web Files' '''IN THE ZIP FILE YOU JUST DOWNLOADED''' delete the '''config.php''', '''img''' folder and '''install.php'''.
* If using a customised theme port any changes in your Cascading Style Sheet over.
* Upload the files to your web server.
* Sign into the 'Admin' section of your donation page.
* Click on the 'Updates' tab that is located in the 'Main Dashboard'.
* Apply any new SQL updates. '''AS OF 1.5.1 SQL UPDATES NOW APPLY AUTOMATICALLY UPON VISITING THE ADMIN AREA.'''

Congratulations you have successfully updated the website portion of Prometheus! If a lua update is necessary continue on below.

=== LUA ===
==== Manual Update ====

Lua can currently only be updated manually however it is a simple process!

* Download the Latest lua distribution from either [[https://scriptfodder.com/scripts/view/565/description/|Scriptfodder]] or the Update tab under "download latest lua" via your Prometheus installation.
* Check to see if there is any changes between your current lua config file and the one included in the latest distribution.
* If there are changes fill out the details require referring back to your old lua config file.
* If there are no changes simply delete the config file included in the latest distribution.
* Upload the latest distribution to your addons folder replacing any existing files.
* Restart your server.

Congratulations you just finished the final step in updating your Prometheus donation system! If you are unsure if any changes were made to the lua config it is best to follow 'Step 3.'.

Harry: /* Installing prerequisites for Prometheus' lua portion */

=== Installing prerequisites for Prometheus' lua portion ===
Install the [[Installation:website|web files]] first

You need to install either tMySQL or MySQLoo. We recommend MySQLoo, but you can use tMySQL as well. This documentation only covers MySQLoo as tMySQL is deprecated.

==== MySQLoo ====
The MySQLoo 9 module from [https://github.com/syl0r/MySQLOO/releases/ here]

Download [https://github.com/syl0r/MySQLOO/releases/ HERE] for Linux server use gmsv_mysqloo_linux.dll, but for Windows server use gmsv_mysqloo_win32.dll, choose the latest release that has your version and put it here:

(You need to create the lua/bin folder manually if you do not already have it.)

Note: As of 3/20/2021 Linux OS must use MySQLoo 9.6 or older. MySQLoo 9.6.1 will not work on Linux at this time.

[[File:Bin.png]]
<div style="text-decoration: line-through">
You are also going to need either [https://github.com/syl0r/MySQLOO/raw/master/MySQL/lib/windows/libmysql.dll libmysql] on Windows or [https://github.com/syl0r/MySQLOO/raw/master/MySQL/lib/linux/libmysqlclient.so.18 libmysqlclient] on Linux.
They have to be placed within the root folder of your server (the one that contains srcds.exe or srcds_run)
</div>
As of the latest MySQLoo version (9.6 and newer) you no longer need the second file(libmysql) on the server. So if you use MySQLoo 9.6 or newer you only need the first, MySQLoo file.

'''Done''' Continue with the [[Installation:lua|lua files]] installation

Harry: /* Do you offer refunds for Prometheus? */

{{DISPLAYTITLE:General Questions about Prometheus}}

=== PURCHASE QUESTIONS ===

==== Are Prometheus updates free? How long will they be available? ====
Yes! Prometheus updates are free for all of our customers and are made available whenever a new feature is developed or a security exploit patched. You will be notified by GmodStore and your admin panel every time a new update is released.

==== Do you offer refunds for Prometheus? ====
Rarely. All information needed to install Prometheus and all requirements to use Prometheus are laid out on the Gmodstore page prior to purchase. Any refunds claimed as "Accidental" or "not fitting needs" will be denied. The license agreement for Prometheus also states "No Refunds."

If you bought Prometheus and don't have a web host to put it on, there hosts for as low as $2 a month that you can choose. Please see our [[Installation:requirements|Installation Requirements]] page to see some good alternatives.

==== I was banned from GmodStore. Can I still receive Prometheus updates? ====
No, because we do licensing through GmodStore unless you are using our automatic update feature it is not possible to receive any further updates. '''That is why you should keep your account and scripts to yourself.'''

=== DOWNLOAD QUESTIONS ===

==== I cannot download Prometheus... help! ====
If you're having issues installing Prometheus, please check the following:
* '''Are you downloading from GmodStore?''' If you're trying to download via GmodStore (manually), double check that you have disabled Avast! if you have it installed. For some reason, Avast! marks Prometheus as a virus.
* '''Are you trying to download via the automatic-updater?''' Please make sure you've read through our [[Dashboard:updating|Requirements for Automatic Updating]] if you haven't already.
* '''Are you banned from GmodStore?''' Then the manual download method most likely won't work.

=== TECHNICAL QUESTIONS ===

==== How do I reinstall Prometheus? ====
To reinstall Prometheus, please remove the /cache folder from your web server and also completely wipe and reinstall your MySQL database. Once you've reinstalled MySQL go back to install.php in Prometheus (reupload it if it doesn't exist, along with the install folder) and then run the installer again.

==== Do you include a backdoor into Prometheus? ====
No, we do not include any backdoor into Prometheus nor Neutron. We strongly believe in transparency and do not have any way to gain access to your server without you directly giving us access.

Note that this means that we also cannot assist if you have deleted yourself from an admin account - in this instance, it will be necessary to either reinstall Prometheus or to run a SQL command to readd yourself. You can contact us for assistance with this.

==== How many sites can Prometheus be activated on? ====
As many as you'd like! So long as you're complying with our Terms of Service and only using it on your own community, we do not limit where or how many Prometheus installations you have. That being said, we may sometimes limit your access to Prometheus if we believe that you are acting in violation to your License Agreement, but will only do so after contacting you for clarification.

==== What should I do if I discover a security exploit? ====
Please contact us via our support center immediately. We take great consideration and care in ensuring our customers' privacy, and will work with you to discover the exploit and patch it as soon as possible.

==== How often does Prometheus check for licensing? What happens if the licensing server goes down? ====
Because we understand that sometimes our server may become overloaded by traffic requests - either naturally or as the result of a DDoS attack - * ''we only check Prometheus for activation every 6 hours''. This means that you can use Prometheus while our servers are down up to this point. * This only applies to old Prometheus versions, the newer versions only check once unless the software changes.

If our servers by some chance are down longer, we will work our a solution and notify our customers via GmodStore.

=== MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS ===

==== A server owner who uses Prometheus is abusing the system / stole my money! ====
Prometheus is merely a donation administration tool which is used to more easily process payments and make the job easier for the administrators to focus on what matters most - their community. And while we understand that some administrators have abused our service in the past, we do not and cannot be the middleman who is in control of the business practises of a server owner.

If you are encountering a user who is abusing the Prometheus system, we highly recommend that you contact PayPal or the payment processor that you used to resolve the issue instead of contacting us.

=== WEBSITE ===
==== Automatic Updating(CURRENTLY NOT WORKING DUE TO GMOD STORE CHANGES) ====
With Prometheus, web updates ''can'' be automatic, so long as you meet all of the requirements for being able to do so.<br><br>
[[File:updates.png|850px]]

===== Requirements for Auto-Updating =====

The only requirement for being able to auto-update Prometheus is having the right directory permissions. On Linux, execute the following in a terminal to allow for automatic updating:

cd path/to/installdir
sudo chown www-data:www-data *
sudo chmod 775 updates

On Windows, it should already be enabled. If it is not, set the Guests group to have read/write access to the updates folder in order to allow for automatic updating. If using IIS, grant the IUSR account read, write and execute access to the updates folder.

==== Manual Updating ====

Performing a manual update for the Web and MySQL portion of Prometheus is not hard!

* Download the latest distribution from [https://scriptfodder.com/scripts/view/565 our Scriptfodder page].
* Under 'Web Files' '''IN THE ZIP FILE YOU JUST DOWNLOADED''' delete the '''config.php''', '''img''' folder and '''install.php'''.
* If using a customised theme port any changes in your Cascading Style Sheet over.
* Upload the files to your web server.
* Sign into the 'Admin' section of your donation page.
* Click on the 'Updates' tab that is located in the 'Main Dashboard'.
* Apply any new SQL updates. '''AS OF 1.5.1 SQL UPDATES NOW APPLY AUTOMATICALLY UPON VISITING THE ADMIN AREA.'''

Congratulations you have successfully updated the website portion of Prometheus! If a lua update is necessary continue on below.

=== LUA ===
==== Manual Update ====

Lua can currently only be updated manually however it is a simple process!

* Download the Latest lua distribution from either [[https://scriptfodder.com/scripts/view/565/description/|Scriptfodder]] or the Update tab under "download latest lua" via your Prometheus installation.
* Check to see if there is any changes between your current lua config file and the one included in the latest distribution.
* If there are changes fill out the details require referring back to your old lua config file.
* If there are no changes simply delete the config file included in the latest distribution.
* Upload the latest distribution to your addons folder replacing any existing files.
* Restart your server.

Congratulations you just finished the final step in updating your Prometheus donation system! If you are unsure if any changes were made to the lua config it is best to follow 'Step 3.'.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:General Questions about Prometheus}}

=== PURCHASE QUESTIONS ===

==== Are Prometheus updates free? How long will they be available? ====
Yes! Prometheus updates are free for all of our customers and are made available whenever a new feature is developed or a security exploit patched. You will be notified by GmodStore and your admin panel every time a new update is released.

==== Do you offer refunds for Prometheus? ====
Rarely. All information needed to install Prometheus and all requirements to use Prometheus are laid out on the Gmodstore page prior to purchase. Any refunds claimed as "Accidental" or "not fitting needs" will be denied.

If you bought Prometheus and don't have a web host to put it on, there hosts for as low as $2 a month that you can choose. Please see our [[Installation:requirements|Installation Requirements]] page to see some good alternatives.

==== I was banned from GmodStore. Can I still receive Prometheus updates? ====
No, because we do licensing through GmodStore unless you are using our automatic update feature it is not possible to receive any further updates. '''That is why you should keep your account and scripts to yourself.'''

=== DOWNLOAD QUESTIONS ===

==== I cannot download Prometheus... help! ====
If you're having issues installing Prometheus, please check the following:
* '''Are you downloading from GmodStore?''' If you're trying to download via GmodStore (manually), double check that you have disabled Avast! if you have it installed. For some reason, Avast! marks Prometheus as a virus.
* '''Are you trying to download via the automatic-updater?''' Please make sure you've read through our [[Dashboard:updating|Requirements for Automatic Updating]] if you haven't already.
* '''Are you banned from GmodStore?''' Then the manual download method most likely won't work.

=== TECHNICAL QUESTIONS ===

==== How do I reinstall Prometheus? ====
To reinstall Prometheus, please remove the /cache folder from your web server and also completely wipe and reinstall your MySQL database. Once you've reinstalled MySQL go back to install.php in Prometheus (reupload it if it doesn't exist, along with the install folder) and then run the installer again.

==== Do you include a backdoor into Prometheus? ====
No, we do not include any backdoor into Prometheus nor Neutron. We strongly believe in transparency and do not have any way to gain access to your server without you directly giving us access.

Installation:requirements

2020-06-13T16:37:28Z

Harry:

=== WEBSITE REQUIREMENTS ===
* PHP 7.1 or greater
* A MySQL database
* pdo_mysql extension enabled in your php.ini
* cURL enabled in your php.ini
* mbstring
* php-xml
* url_allow_fopen enabled in php.ini
* OpenSSL ( With HTTPS wrapper )

=== WEB HOSTS CONFIRMED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH PROMETHEUS ===

[http://wiki.prometheusipn.com/index.php?title=Installation:WebHosts Click here for a list of compatible hosts.]

==== Linux Hosting ====
If you have experience with Linux servers I'd suggest just getting a DigitalOcean droplet for $5 to run a webserver on. Though '''don't do this if you have no idea what you're doing.'''

===== How to check if your webserver supports Prometheus =====
Download [https://nmscripts.com/prometheusCheck.zip the requirement checker] and extract it on your webserver. Then visit the file called '''prometheus_check.php'''. It will now tell you if your PHP version can run Prometheus.

==== How to Install Prometheus on your Website ====
[[installation:website|Website installation instructions found here]]

=== LUA REQUIREMENTS ===
[[Installation:lua prerequisites|Lua prerequisites / requirements]]

Nearly all Garry's Mod hosts will support Prometheus for in-game compatibility. So long as your host allows you to upload .dll files, you're good to go!

You'll require the MySQLoo module from [http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1357773 here] or the tMySQL module from [http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1442438 here]. We highly recommend Tmysql for the speed, security and multi-connection support.

Harry:

= THIS IS FOR SOURCEBANS 2.0 ALPHA ONLY.=
* '''Sourcemod support has been discontinued. Prometheus staff will provide no assistance/support with setting up Sourcemod or making packages in Prometheus that involve Sourcemod.'''

== Installation ==

* Drag and drop the '''addons''' folder to your game's root directory.
* Restart the server.

== Configuration ==
Once the plugin has been loaded, it will automatically generate "Prometheus.cfg" in your <game>/cfg/sourcemod/ folder. Edit it to your liking.

* '''sm_prometheus_message'''
** You have the option to use these three arguments. PLAYER_NAME for the donator's steam name, PACKAGE_NAME for the title of the package that they bought, and DONATION_AMOUNT for how much they donated (ex: 9.99). Furthermore, you can add color to the broadcast message ('''Colors do not work on CS:GO!'''). The full list of color tags can be found here: [https://www.doctormckay.com/morecolors.php] Example: {fullred}[Prometheus] {haunted}PLAYER_NAME {honeydew}has donated {haunted}$DONATION_AMOUNT{honeydew} and receives {haunted}PACKAGE_NAME{honeydew}! Thank you!

* '''sm_prometheus_checkinterval'''
** This CVAR specifies the time in seconds in which the plugin checks to see if the donator's ranks have expired. For example, every 600 seconds (10 minutes) it checks all users who have donated to see if their rank has expired.

* '''sm_prometheus_mode'''
** This CVAR tells the plugin where (and how) to store the donator. There are three options:
*** Mode 1: Store the player in admins.cfg (Flatfile).
*** Mode 2: Store the player in the admins MySQL database (MySQL).
*** Mode 3: Store the player in the Sourcebans admin database (Sourcebans).

'''FLATFILE:'''
*You will need to ensure that your "admin-flatfile.smx" plugin exists in addons/sourcemod/plugins/ folder.
*Edit addons/sourcemod/configs/admins.cfg file and make sure that it has "Admins" on the first line, a { on the second line, and a } on the last line.

'''MYSQL:'''
*Make sure your MySQL database is set up properly in addons/sourcemod/configs/databases.cfg
** Prometheus uses the "default" connection info, however if you do not want this plugin to use the "default" connection info, add an aditional one and name it "prometheus".
*Update your admin tables! Move addons/sourcemod/plugins/disabled/sql-admin-manager.smx to your plugins folder.
*Restart the server, and run the command "sm_create_adm_tables" from your server console. For MySQL, your database must have CREATE and ALTER permissions.
*Ensure that you are using "admin-sql-threaded.smx" in your addons/sourcemod/plugins/ folder.
**If it is not present, it should be in the addons/sourcemod/plugins/disabled/ folder.

'''SOURCEBANS:'''
*This mode only works with Sourcebans 2.0 Alpha. [https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=219657]
*Ensure that you are using the sb_admins.smx plugin (which comes with Sourcebans).

<div style="background-color: #1fa67a; color: #fff; width: 100%; padding: 10px;"> This is in no way a <strong>full list</strong> of all hosts compatible with Prometheus. If you're wondering whether your host supports Prometheus before buying it, you can [https://nmscripts.com/prometheusCheck.zip download the requirements checker] to find out.</div>

In order to be able to effectively run Prometheus, you need a compatible web host who supports the necessary features to make the panel functional. The exact requirements can be found [[http://wiki.prometheusipn.com/index.php?title=Installation:requirements here]]. '''A common missing feature on many web hosts is the ability to have remote database connections''', so be sure to ask your host about this before signing up with them.

We've compiled a short list of compatible web hosts of Prometheus. While this is by no means inclusive, it should give you an idea of where to get started if you're not sure who to go with.

== GMCHosting ==
Don't like setting all of this up manually? We have partnered with GMCHosting to give you a seamless solution! As long as you own a Garry's Mod server with them, you are able to install Prometheus automatically without having to own a web host or do any work at all! Use the promo '''PrometheusPromo''' to get 10% off every month on your order at GMCHosting! :)
