This guide walks through setting up a FiveM server with txAdmin from start to first join.<\/p>\n<h2>What you need first<\/h2>\n<p>Before anything else you need a <strong>Cfx.re license key<\/strong> (also called a server key). It&rsquo;s free &mdash; generate one from the Cfx.re keymaster portal tied to your forum account. Without a valid key the server won&rsquo;t start. See our <a href=\"\/docs\/fivem\/create-license-key\">license key guide<\/a> for the exact steps.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1: Launch txAdmin<\/h2>\n<p>The FXServer build ships with txAdmin built in. When you start the server for the first time it prints a local URL with a one-time PIN &mdash; open it in your browser to reach the txAdmin setup wizard. On managed hosting, txAdmin is already running; just open its panel. Our <a href=\"\/docs\/fivem\/txadmin\">txAdmin guide<\/a> covers accessing it on an XGamingServer host.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: Run the setup wizard<\/h2>\n<p>The wizard walks you through creating an admin account, entering your Cfx.re license key, and choosing a data folder. You can then deploy a recipe &mdash; a one-click base server like the CFX default or a popular framework (ESX, QBCore) &mdash; or point txAdmin at an existing server folder.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3: Configure and start<\/h2>\n<p>txAdmin generates and manages your <code>server.cfg<\/code>. From the panel you can set the server name, max players, tags, and which resources start. Hit <strong>Start<\/strong> and watch the live console for a clean boot. For the full breakdown of every server.cfg line, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/fivem-server-cfg-explained-every-important-setting\/\">server.cfg guide<\/a> and the free <a href=\"\/tools\/fivem\/server-config\">server.cfg generator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 4: Connect and manage<\/h2>\n<p>Once it&rsquo;s running, players connect via the in-game server browser or a direct <code>connect<\/code> command. From txAdmin you can kick, ban, warn, and DM players, schedule automatic restarts, watch performance, and read the live console &mdash; all from the browser. Add your team as admins following our <a href=\"\/docs\/fivem\/adding-admins\">adding admins guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Why managed hosting helps<\/h2>\n<p>Self-hosting means port forwarding, keeping FXServer updated, and babysitting uptime. <a href=\"\/five-m-server-hosting\">XGamingServer FiveM hosting<\/a> ships with txAdmin pre-installed, instant setup, and the hardware headroom a busy RP server needs &mdash; so you spend your time on resources, not infrastructure.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Is txAdmin free?<\/strong> Yes &mdash; it&rsquo;s bundled with FXServer at no cost.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I really need a license key?<\/strong> Yes. The free Cfx.re key is mandatory; the server won&rsquo;t start without it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I install ESX or QBCore from txAdmin?<\/strong> Yes &mdash; the setup wizard can deploy framework recipes in a few clicks.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.fivem.net\/docs\/server-manual\/setting-up-a-server-txadmin\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cfx.re Docs &mdash; Setting up a server using txAdmin<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>txAdmin is the easiest way to run a FiveM server &mdash; a web-based control panel that handles installation, configuration, player management, and live console from your browser.
