setting up a dm server

Bought a 8 slot server from tragic, trying to set it up to be a dm server. So far I have the map rotation set as:
cp_granary
cp_badlands
cp_gullywash_final1
cp_process_rc2
ctf_turbine
cp_snakewater
koth_pro_viaduct_rc3
cp_freight_final1
cp_gravelpit
cp_gravelpit

And the time limit per map set to 10 minutes. So all I should need to do is setup a whitelist and class limits. Problem: I have no idea how to do this and my efforts to figure out so far have failed.
I want the standard class limits: 2 scout, 2 soldier, 1 demoman
And for the whitelist I want:
all vanilla weapons/reskins
boston basher/three rune blade
direct hit (yes, I bought a dm server so I could dh)
gunboats
equalizer
pain train

Keep in mind I have a very limited grasp on technology and no experience working with servers. Thank you.

Edit: I also need to setup up 2 bball servers. But the dm server is a priority right now.

Uhhh I was hoping spawn points would exist. I guess I need to do that. Dm spawns were on the granary when I first joined the server so I assumed they would be there for all the regular maps.

dont put gullywash in. there isnt a single spawn that doesn't force you to fight uphill or run through the choke.

Sorry for the delay guys. My internet wigged out and refused to load random sites for several hours (I thought tf.tv was down honestly). Fog is helping me, should have it running by tomorrow night - would be sooner, but I have work tomorrow until 7.

Please no turbine and freight. they aren't played in ESEA so no reason to have them there. plus they clear the server hard.

Trains are hilarious; I'm keeping freight. I'll think about taking out turbine though.
edit: I kinda like the clusterfuck that is turbine dm though

Ok, first off I want to give a big shoutout to Fog - he spent a few hours over the past 2 days messaging me every detail of how to setup this server as I am incompetent. That said, I believe it is setup. The whitelist is setup (let me know if anything is unallowed/allowed that I missed), as well as the map list I originally posted (with process_rc3). It's an 8 slot, 2 solly/scout 1 demo, so it's just a standard server with dh.
IP: 74.91.115.132:27015
Thanks guys. Hopefully I can get this added to the server list if it starts getting populated. I haven't cycled through the whole rotation yet, so let me know if there's an issue with map changes.
edit: ok it's just stuck on granary only, working on it now lol.Seems to be fixed. Thanks again Fog.

Alright, 3 things:

Demo has access to all 8 stickies. I don't really mind too much, but 2 is more than enough (fog has four, and you can destroy 2-3 maps without trying).
Random Crits are ON. and at first that was neat, and i'm glad i missed my first airshot with it, but, they are on.
Bullet spread is on.

I don't know how to fix those things, at all. But they are definitely there.

also, add sniper. have a headshots only thing.

where is this DM server hosted? I'd love to give this a try, will be joining up later tonight, wondering what sort of ping I'll get from West Coast. Are all tragic servers Chicago/ Dallas or something?

Woops forgot to uncomment crits/spead, fixing now. Sorry guys - I'm bad.
Hanbrolo - it's a Chicago server. Tragic hosts servers is NY/San Jose too I believe, but this is the only dm server I will be running - there's plenty out there.
I'm not going to add sniper at this time as it's 4v4 - I don't mind sniper in dm, but it really only works in 5v5.
I like turbine; if enough people keep complaining I'll consider removing it in the future.
I will have to look into limiting stickies - forgot about that. It may take me a while ,but I'll fix spread/crits immediately.
edit: spread/crits should be fixed, restarted the server too.

It's an opinionated issue; people are always going to disagree. Also skill level among snipers varies hugely.

Both. He's either completely useless, or too good. That's more than likely the biggest issue people have with it.

I don't mind playing against snipers. I just think in 8 slot dm sniper tends to imbalance teams too easily if a mediocre sniper is playing. And while dm isn't a team based thing, a big difference between teams can ruin a round. Make your cases though, and I'll think about allowing sniper for a trail period.

Ok, so I'm going to bow into requests and allow 1 sniper per team - try it out, let me know how it functions in 4v4 dm. Let me know if it's good/bad.
IP: 74.91.115.132:27015
If it's terrible, I'll take it out, but worth trying for a few days.
