Prepare your FiveM server

Licence, configuration and your first players.

FiveMSteps : 4
01

Prepare your Cfx.re licence

Create your server key in the official Cfx.re portal using your assigned IP. Keep the key private. Any Cfx.re subscriptions or licensing requirements are separate from your hosting.

02

Configure server.cfg

Stop the server and open server.cfg in Files. Set its name, connection settings and resources to load. Use the ports assigned in your client area. Never publish keys or passwords in a public repository.

03

Install resources carefully

Back up your server before adding a framework, script or resource. Check file licences and sources. Add resources gradually and check the console for errors.

04

Check player connectivity

Start the server and review its logs. Then connect to the assigned address in FiveM. If startup fails, include relevant errors in your support ticket after removing keys and credentials.
