Getting Started with txAdmin on Your New FiveM Server

Last updated on Feb 13, 2025

When you purchase a FiveM server from VolticHost, your server comes pre-installed with FiveM and txAdmin, making it easier than ever to manage your server. This tutorial walks you through the txAdmin setup process—configuring basic settings, securing your server, and launching it for the first time—so you can get your GTA V roleplay environment up and running quickly. 🚀

📌 Prerequisites

  • A FiveM server purchased at VolticHost.com

  • Pre-installed FiveM with txAdmin (provided automatically with your purchase)

  • Basic knowledge of server administration and configuration

  • Internet access and your txAdmin login credentials (provided by your host)

1️⃣ First Step - Accessing and Logging into txAdmin

  1. Access txAdmin:

    • Open your web browser and navigate to the txAdmin URL provided by VolticHost. This is typically linked on your VolticHost Game Panel or sent to you in your welcome email.

  2. Log In:

    • Enter your txAdmin username and password to access the dashboard. If this is your first time logging in, use the credentials supplied by your host.

  3. Dashboard Overview:

    • Familiarize yourself with the txAdmin interface. Here you'll find sections for Server Settings, File Manager, Backups, Logs, and more—your control center for managing your server.

✅ Successfully logged into txAdmin and navigated the dashboard!

2️⃣ Next Step - Running the Initial Setup Wizard

  1. Launch the Setup Wizard:

    • Upon first login, txAdmin will automatically prompt you to run an initial setup wizard. This wizard guides you through the essential configurations needed to launch your server.

  2. Configure Basic Settings:

    • Server Name: Enter a unique and descriptive name for your server (e.g., "My Ultimate RP Server").

    • Max Clients: Set the maximum number of players allowed (e.g., 32 or 64) based on your server plan.

    • RCON Password: Choose a secure RCON password. This is critical for remote server administration.

  3. Network Settings and Miscellaneous Options:

    • The wizard may also offer options to set network parameters like minimum and maximum rates. Adjust these settings based on your expected player load.

  4. Save and Apply:

    • Once you've completed the wizard, save your settings. txAdmin will automatically update the necessary configuration files (such as server.cfg) on your server.

✅ Initial setup wizard completed and basic settings configured successfully!

3️⃣ Next Step - Reviewing and Customizing Server Configuration

  1. Access the File Manager:

    • Use txAdmin’s File Manager to review your server.cfg file and other configuration files. This file controls many aspects of your FiveM server.

  2. Verify Pre-Configured Settings:

    • Check that essential lines (such as resource startup commands) are present. For example:

      sv_hostname "My Ultimate RP Server"
sv_maxclients 32
rcon_password "your_secure_password"
start mysql-async
start essentialmode

  3. Make Custom Adjustments:

    • Edit any settings you wish to customize further. This might include modifying resource loading order, adjusting performance settings, or adding custom resources.

  4. Save Changes:

    • After editing, save your configuration files directly within txAdmin.

✅ Server configuration reviewed and customized successfully!

4️⃣ Next Step - Starting Your Server and Final Checks

  1. Start the Server:

    • From the txAdmin dashboard, click the Start Server button. txAdmin will boot up your server and display live logs during startup.

  2. Monitor the Startup Process:

    • Watch for any error messages or warnings in the console. The log window provides real-time feedback on resource loading and server performance.

  3. Join the Server:

    • Once the server shows a “running” status, join your FiveM server in-game to ensure everything is working correctly.

  4. Troubleshoot if Necessary:

    • If you encounter issues, refer to the txAdmin logs, double-check your configuration, and adjust settings as needed.

✅ Server started successfully and passed final checks!
