Setting up the Dynamic Map plugin under Windows

This page assumes your root directory of your webserver is found at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\. Also, it is required to have Minecraft and your webserver running on the same machine.

• To start, create the directory C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dynmap\.
• Create the directory C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tiles\.
• Copy the contents of the web directory found in the repository to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\.

You should now have the following file: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dynmap\up.aspx.

• Go to minecraft_server/plugins/dynmap/configuration.txt and make sure you have the property tilepath set to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dynmap\tiles\:

# The path where the tile-files are placed.
tilepath: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dynmap\tile

• Restart your Minecraft server.
• Join your Minecraft server and place a few blocks (randomly) to trigger dynmap to generate tiles for your map.

If everything went alright, you should now find some new .png files in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dynmap\tiles\. You can also go to http://yourwebserver/dynmap/ in your browser. It should display the map, but also display an error not being able to update (player locations and map changes).

To fix this, we need to configure the webserver:

• IIS: Setting up Dynamic Map with IIS under Windows
• Apache: Setting up Dynamic Map with Apache under Windows
