A server running without a "server.cfg" will run on the defaults that were added by either Valve and/or the game's developer. To edit these and much more, you will need to create a file known as "server.cfg" in your server's cfg directory. The "server.cfg" file does not come with most server installations in Source-based games and must be created on your server in order to change server variables.

Below is an example server configuration. There are explanations/comments on each server variable for what it is used for. You may copy/use this example configuration on your own server and use it as you see fit. But, keep in mind that it is not a one size fits all configuration. You should always review your configurations and tailor them towards you and your server's needs.

Server Configuration

On this page we will put a general server.cfg up on this page to show the settings you can have in it.

A server running without a "server.cfg" will run on the defaults that were added by either Valve and/or the game's developer. To edit these and much more, you will need to create a file known as "server.cfg" in your server's cfg directory. The "server.cfg" file does not come with most server installations in Source-based games and must be created on your server in order to change server variables.

Below is an example server configuration. There are explanations/comments on each server variable for what it is used for. You may copy/use this example configuration on your own server and use it as you see fit. But, keep in mind that it is not a one size fits all configuration. You should always review your configurations and tailor them towards you and your server's needs.
