Server Status

[Foob]

is there other way to know status of server except for using default ports? like maybe a script in server.php that would ping server address and if its ping-able it will output online?

This is because my webhost doesn't open ragnarok ports if shared hosting.

Thanks!

this might not your answer that youre looking for, but mostly shared hosting will only open specific outgoing port only, i believe you can try request.. they normally will open the port for you.

Already asked godaddy about it and they stand firm with their answer that they wont open such ports.

i believe you're asked them in wrong question, one of my friends able to request to open port for his fluxcp, you can try asking to open port for only outgoing/outbond port (not incoming), and tell them in details that open port just for checking the another server online.

if you cant, just request for refund, and buy from another provider.. godaddy kinda expensive

You can run a minimal web server on your game server to serve an API in which will check internally if the servers are running then serve the result via http:80.  You can then do a get request and parse the result accordingly.  Obviously not ideal but it's a work around.

No guide as this is not common and not even ideal.  You literally have to install apache and php or nodejs and write your own code
