How to set up a FiveM server with txAdmin

FiveM lets you run custom GTA V roleplay and other multiplayer servers. You manage it with the txAdmin web panel.

What you need

• A Cfx.re account and a free server licence key from the Cfx.re portal
• A FiveM server (we set up the server files and txAdmin for you)
• A framework such as ESX, QBCore or a standalone setup, plus a MariaDB or MySQL database for most frameworks

Set up

1. Order a FiveM server on our Discord.
2. Open txAdmin and run the setup wizard. Paste your licence key when asked.
3. Pick a recipe or template for your framework and let it download.
4. Check server.cfg for your name, slots and the ensure lines for your resources.
5. Start the server and connect with the FiveM client using your server address.

Good to know

• The default port is 30120 for both TCP and UDP.
• A free licence supports up to 48 slots. More players need a paid Cfx.re tier.
• Turn on OneSync in server.cfg if you want more than a few dozen players.

Common errors

• "Invalid licence key": the key is wrong, expired or already used on another server. Generate a new one.
• "Couldn't load resource" or "Could not find dependency": the folder name doesn't match your ensure line, or a required resource isn't started before it.
• Database connection errors (oxmysql or mysql-async): check the connection string, database name, username and password.
• Players can't connect or time out: make sure port 30120 is open for TCP and UDP, and that the server is online in txAdmin.
• Script errors in the console: read the resource name in the error and update or remove that resource.
