Last updated: October 1, 2026

AMXBans 6.13 is a ban system for cs 1.6 servers that stores all bans in a MySQL database and comes with a web panel. Admins ban players in the game through console commands and menus, while the web panel shows the ban list, ban history and admins, and can manage several servers from one place.

This Counter-Strike 1.6 amxbans download contains two parts: AMX Mod X plugins for the game server and PHP files for the web panel. Below: requirements, amxbans install step by step, ban commands and fixes for the most common errors.

AMXBans requirements

• CS 1.6 server with AMX Mod X 1.8.1 or newer
• MySQL or MariaDB database
• Web server (Apache or NGINX) with PHP for the web panel
• FTP access to the game server and web server
• phpMyAdmin or a similar database tool (optional, makes setup easier)

AMXBans 6.13 was built for older PHP versions. On PHP 7 or 8 the web panel may not work without changes – use an older PHP version or a community-updated build.

AMXBans install – web panel and database

1. Extract amxbans613.zip. It contains a folder with the game server plugins and a folder with the web files
2. Create a MySQL database (for example amxbans_db) and a user with full rights to it
3. If the package includes sql.sql, import it into the new database – it creates the AMXBans tables. Back up the database first if you are updating an older AMXBans
4. Upload the web files to your web server, for example to public_html/amxbans/
5. Make sure the templates_c/ folder exists in the AMXBans web folder and is writable by the web server
6. Open http://yourdomain.com/amxbans/setup.php in a browser and follow the setup with your database details

AMXBans install – game server plugins

1. Copy amxbans_core.amxx, amxbans_main.amxx and the other .amxx files to cstrike/addons/amxmodx/plugins/
2. Copy amxbans.cfg to cstrike/addons/amxmodx/configs/ and amxbans.txt to cstrike/addons/amxmodx/data/lang/
3. Make sure the MySQL module is enabled in configs/modules.ini
4. Enter the database connection in configs/sql.cfg – the same database the web panel uses
5. Edit configs/plugins.ini: put amxbans_core.amxx and amxbans_main.amxx at the very top, and disable admin.amxx and admin_sql.amxx with a ; in front
6. Restart the server and check with amx_plugins that both AMXBans plugins are running

; plugins.ini - top of the file
amxbans_core.amxx
amxbans_main.amxx
;admin.amxx
;admin_sql.amxx

AMXBans Main is built on the AMX Mod X Admin Base (SQL) plugin, so it replaces admin.amxx. Keep admincmd.amxx and the other default plugins – they provide amx_kick, amx_slay, amx_map and other admin commands.

Database settings in sql.cfg

amx_sql_host "127.0.0.1"
amx_sql_user "amxbans_user"
amx_sql_pass "your_password"
amx_sql_db "amxbans_db"

Replace the values with your own. amxbans.cfg holds the AMXBans plugin settings – the file is commented, so check each option there.

AMXBans ban commands

Some modified AMXBans builds rename the commands with an admin_ prefix, for example admin_addban and admin_banmenu. After installation, type amx_help in the console to see the exact commands your version uses.

AMXBans web panel

• Public ban list with reason, length and the admin who issued the ban
• Add, edit and remove admins and their access flags
• Manage several cs 1.6 servers from one panel
• Predefined ban reasons for faster banning in the game
• Choose what the public ban list shows, for example hide IP addresses

AMXBans not working – common errors

• Cannot connect to the database: check host, user, password and database name in sql.cfg and in the web panel. The MySQL server must accept connections from both the game server and the web server – check firewall rules
• Web panel shows a blank page or PHP errors: usually a PHP version problem. Check the web server error log
• Bans do not work in the game: make sure amxbans_core.amxx and amxbans_main.amxx are the first lines in plugins.ini and admin.amxx is disabled
• Web panel cannot save pages: templates_c/ is not writable
• Other errors: check the server console and AMX Mod X logs. AlliedModders forums have threads for most AMXBans problems

For other admin tools see the cs 1.6 admin commands list. Players on your server need the game too – send them to the CS 1.6 download page.
