Game servers

txAdmin

txAdmin is FiveM's own web panel. You use it to set up your server, start and stop the game, watch players and change settings. Every server comes with it, on an address of its own.

Open txAdmin #

Press Open txAdmin on the Overview. The address is also under Login details, as txAdmin. It is plain HTTP, not HTTPS, and you log in with the account you make on first start.

Until txAdmin is set up, it is closed to the internet: anyone with its PIN could claim your server, so nobody can reach it at all. The Overview then shows Open txAdmin for 30 minutes instead. It works on a running server: press Start first, then press it when you are ready to set txAdmin up. The server restarts, so a new PIN is printed on the Console tab. When the 30 minutes are up, txAdmin stays open for good if it has an admin by then, and closes again if it does not (the server is restarted for that too). You can press the button again whenever you need more time. While the server is suspended, txAdmin is closed.

First start #

  1. Paste your license key under Variables.
  2. Press Start, then Open txAdmin for 30 minutes on the Overview, and open the Console tab. When txAdmin is up it prints All ready! Please access:, its address and, under them, a PIN.
  3. Press Open txAdmin and enter the PIN straight away. Use the newest PIN on the Console: every restart prints a new one and the old one stops working, and opening txAdmin for 30 minutes restarts the server. If txAdmin says the PIN is incorrect, scroll to the bottom of the Console for the latest PIN.
  4. Press Link Account and sign in with your Cfx.re account, then create a backup password for txAdmin.
  5. Follow txAdmin's setup: a name for your server, then how to deploy it. Popular Recipes builds a ready-made server for you, such as the default FiveM server or a framework like Qbox, ESX or QBCore. Your license key is already filled in. A framework recipe asks for a database: see below.
  6. Finish with Save & Run Server.

Important

Until you have set up txAdmin, anyone who has the PIN can claim your server. That is why it is only open while you are setting it up: finish within the 30 minutes.

If the PIN has scrolled off the console, press Restart in the Portal and watch the console again: a new PIN is printed on each start until an admin exists, and only the newest one works.

A recipe that needs a database #

Framework recipes (Qbox, ESX, QBCore) open a database screen that is filled in with txAdmin's own defaults (localhost, root, no password, a database name made up by the recipe). Those do not work here, so txAdmin first shows Database connection failed. Replace every field with your server's details from Login details:

txAdmin's field What to type
Host Database host from Login details (your server's address, not localhost)
Port Database port (3306)
Username Database user
Password Database password (press Show to copy it)
Database name Database name, exactly as shown (it starts with s), not the recipe's own
Delete database Off

Your server has one database and you cannot make another, so the recipe must use that one. See Your database.

Starting, stopping and restarting #

Once txAdmin is set up, the game is started, stopped and restarted inside txAdmin. The Portal's Start, Stop and Restart buttons start and stop the whole server, txAdmin included.

Tip

To restart a server with players on it, use txAdmin's restart, which warns players first. The Portal's Restart disconnects everyone straight away.

Locked out of txAdmin #

If you have lost your txAdmin login, you can make a new admin with a new PIN. This removes txAdmin's admin accounts and nothing else:

  1. Press Stop in the Portal.
  2. In the Files tab (or over SFTP), open the txData folder and delete admins.json.
  3. Within 15 minutes the Portal sees that txAdmin has no admin and closes it to the internet again: the Overview then shows Open txAdmin for 30 minutes. Press Start, then Open txAdmin for 30 minutes, and read the new PIN on the Console tab.
  4. Open txAdmin and set up the admin again, straight away.

If you are stuck, open a support ticket. Our staff cannot open your txData folder, so the file has to be deleted by you.
