Hi. I am currently making a game, which has an application based server and java applet clients.
Usually, i have to open the application based server manually from my computer and then i put the clients java applet on my IIS, so that the clients can connect to my IIS and play.
so far as long as i open the server application manually, then let the applet cleints connect to my server it works. However, i would like to host my game at real host that i am renting which is impossible for them to launch my game server manually.
the example of my game is like the following tic tac toe game.
I would like to know how to host the server application on my web server and use cgi to start the server remotely, so that i do not have to manually launch my server application from my computer.
