The txAdmin tour
txAdmin is the cockpit for your server. It ships bundled inside FXServer, so there is nothing extra to install. Six panels do 95% of the work: Live Console, Players, Resources, Recipes, Settings, and the in-game txAdmin menu (opened with /tx or your assigned txAdmin menu keybind). We'll click through them all so nothing feels mysterious, and you'll send a live status command before the end.
Build it
Open the dashboard and read the heartbeat
Open your browser to the dashboard:
http://localhost:40120Confirm the top-left badge is green and says Server Online. In the left sidebar, click Live Console. You'll see a black terminal scrolling text: every line FXServer prints, you read here. At the bottom is an input box. Type this and press Enter:
statusThe console replies with your connected player count, slot count, and uptime. That is your server answering live.
Color codes matter: white is info, yellow is a warning, red is an error. If you see red, copy the line and search it. About 90% of red lines are typos in server.cfg or a bad fxmanifest.lua.
Find a player in the Players panel
In the left sidebar, click Players, then the Online tab. It lists everyone connected right now (including you, once you join in Step 06). Click any name to open the Player Modal, where day-to-day moderation lives:
Info -> identifiers: fivem:, steam:, discord:, license:
History -> past warnings, kicks, bans
IDs -> hardware IDs, for ban-evasion checks
If something went wrong
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
Browser shows ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED at localhost:40120 | FXServer is not running. Re-launch it (run.bat or FXServer), watch its console for crash lines, and reload the page. |
The Live Console input box is greyed out | Your txAdmin account lacks command rights. Log in as the master admin you created in Step 03, or promote your account in Settings -> Admin Manager. |
status replies with red License key error | Add a free license key from portal.cfx.re to server.cfg as sv_licenseKey, then restart. The key is required even for a local test server. |
Players panel is empty but I'm in the server | Refresh the page. The panel polls every few seconds and the first load can miss your join. |
F1 menu does nothing in-game | Confirm you have a txAdmin admin account with your Discord or Cfx.re identifier linked in Settings > Admin Manager, then rejoin (run /txAdmin-reauth in chat if needed). |
What you can do now
- Open txAdmin at http://localhost:40120 and confirm the green Server Online badge.
- Send live commands from the Live Console; status is your is-it-alive check.
- Find any player's fivem: identifier in the Players panel and paste it into add_principal.
- Restart one resource from the Resources tab instead of the whole server.
- Edit server.cfg in the CFG Editor and set Privacy to Hidden while you develop.
