This guide will walk you through the process of importing your existing ARK server into the Ark Ascended Server Manager. Follow these steps to seamlessly transition your server to our management system.
Before importing your existing server, you need to ensure SteamCMD is installed. This tool is essential for managing server files, including updates and maintenance tasks.
SteamCMD is the core tool for file management in your server environment.
Launch the Server Manager and locate the "+ Add Server" button on the dashboard.
In the popup window, you'll see two options. Select "Import Existing Server" to begin the import process.
Use the file manager to navigate to your existing server's root folder.
Important: Select the main root folder containing all server files, not a subfolder within it.
Once imported, you have two options to start your server:
Use the "Start Server" button in your server's dedicated tab.
Click the "Start" button on your server's dashboard box.
Your existing server has been successfully imported into the Ark Ascended Server Manager. You can now manage, update, and customize your server using our intuitive interface.
