Setting up your server for the first time in Project Zomboid

To get started with your Project Zomboid Server at Citadel Servers you only need to first choose an admin password.

Follow the following steps:

Login to your Citadel Servers Game Control Panel and Navigate to your Server.
Your server should say "Online"
Access the "Web-Console" and you will see a prompt asking for you to enter an admin password, enter a memorable Admin password and write it down.
Let the server fully generate until it reaches "Connecting to steam servers", once this is done, restart your server.
Now that it has been restarted, connect to it via your game client using your servers IP and port.

That's it, your server is now fully functional. You should proceed to change the servers settings in your configurations file
