Port Forwarding
For voting websites to send votes to your server, you must ensure that the Votifier port (default: 8192) is open and forwarded to your server. This typically involves:
- Setting up port forwarding in your router's configuration
- Ensuring your firewall allows incoming connections on the specified port
- If using a hosting provider, check their documentation for port configuration
Registering on Voting Sites
- Start your server with SimpleVote installed
- The plugin will display its Votifier public key in the console during startup
- You can also get the key via the server console or in-game with the
/votekeycommand - When registering your server on voting sites:
- Enter your server's public IP address or domain
- Enter the Votifier port (default: 8192)
- Paste the public key when prompted
Troubleshooting
- If votes aren't being received, check that:
- The Votifier port is correctly forwarded.
- The correct public key is being used.
- Your firewall permits access.
