Business: Azure Islands   | [HOWTO] Get OpenSim running on OSgrid.org for cheep cheep. Inspired by that other thread which shall remain nameless - this guide is a guide, no guarantees, etc etc. Total cost can be done for $15.00/month, less if you can share with someone else. Step 1. Get a server account which allows you to run applications - for this guide, I'm going to assume Debian or Ubuntu Linux. A list of recommended providers for this, and expected performance is below: Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting from TekTonic - Their Level-1 Unmanaged VPS is a steal. $15.00/month and that should give you a single rock solid sim (you could probabaly run a couple, but that's pushing it), this is a VPS, so random performance problems could be an issue, but the people who have used this service haven't reported any. Dedicated Server | Windows Dedicated Servers | Server Cluster | Linux Dedicated Servers - For dedicated options, Cari are pretty decent, they have a good reputation and a lot of the other OSgrid regions are on here, so teleports and border crossings are faster. (All the "Plaza" regions are at Cari.net). This is the better option for something which is likely to not just be a random building factory or place for a tiny number of friends to congregate. The Kentsfield (Xeon Quad-Core) configuration is probably the best bang-for-buck ratio - especially for personal use. Order something, and wait until you have the login. This can take 1-2 days. Remember this guide is for Debian or Ubuntu Linux - if you pick another distro, you will need to know what you are doing. **IF YOU WANT TO MAKE LIFE EASIER, PICK A 32-Bit INSTALL** Step 1.5. Register an account on osgrid.org. Step 2. Grab PuTTY from PuTTY: a free telnet/ssh client Connect to the IP address you were given, enter the username "root" (no quotes), hit enter and the password given. type as follows Code: cd /var apt-get install subversion nant mono-gmcs libmono-microsoft8.0-cil libmono-system-runtime2.0-cil libgdiplus libmono-i18n2.0-cil svn co http://opensimulator.org/svn/opensim/trunk opensim cd opensim ./runprebuild.sh nant Now you need to do a little configuration of your sim before you can begin. Code: mono OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe Code: apt-get install jed jed opensim.ini Code: physics = basicphysics Code: physics = OpenDynamicsEngine Code: gridmode = False Code: gridmode = True Code: grid_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8001" grid_send_key = "1234" grid_recv_key = "1234" user_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8002" user_send_key = "1234" user_recv_key = "1234" asset_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8003" inventory_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8004" Step 3. Code: mono OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe Load this webpage - Welcome to OSGrid Find some coordinates (click the "i" to see the coordinates of one of the sim) a little guesswork is required, but you should be able to find a pair that is empty. You will be asked some questions, these are the answers you should give: X Coordinate of Region: The X coordinate you picked above Y Coordinate of Region: The Y coordinate you picked above Internal IP address: Press enter (0.0.0.0) External Hostname/IP: Enter the IP address of the server you are connecting to. Port: Leave as 9000 (press enter) Master avatar firstname: the firstname of your OSgrid.org account Master avatar lastname: the lastname of your OSgrid.org account Master avatar password: either leave blank or fill with gibberish (It's not used) After the last question, a bunch more text should scroll by, and with any luck you will see "Region #:" - this means your region is online. Type "shutdown", the sim should shutdown, now enter the following: Code: screen <press enter to skip the screen if it shows one> mono OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe <press CTRL A then CTRL D> See here on how to Login to OSGrid -http://osgrid.org/index.php?&page=smodul&id=7&btn=7 Login to the OSGrid.org website, and change your home region to the region you just made. Login. Enjoy.

Outside the Median
| Question: The problem I saw when I was thinking to add one to an existing hosting service is that they don't allow me to control the server in that I can't get to it to start and stop the service. Is there now some type of gui to do this with? |

I don't have a farggin clue what you are doing there. I assume you already have OpenSim set up and are trying to connect to OSGrid. If I am wrong and you haven't set it up yet then go to Maxx's tutorial which taught me how: Maxx's Kick Ass Tutorial And there are some good ones here: Metaverse Builders Otherwise, I would go to the OS Grids forums. I think you will get the answer much faster. Good luck, buddy. | |

My Mood:  SL Join Date: June 5, 2005 | Debian 4 Gotcha.... Hi Everybody! Wanting to run my own sim, and seeing the link to the $15/mo vps, I signed up and chose the Debian 4/etch 32bit os, and proceeded to install Mono, and the latest build of OpenSim. The build went fine, but when I followed the instructions on setting ODE as the physics engine, the sim would start then blow up on libode.so. When using basic physics, everything was peachy, but for me walking thru walls and sinking into prims... Spent from just before xmas till just a few days ago beating my head on what was wrong.. Tried the opensim IRC channel.. They said I had to separately build the ode library, tried that, apparently my vps had a slightly askew build environment such that the automake utilitiy was the wrong version, and even after installing the correct version, the ode build complained it was still the wrong automake version. Another kind soul advised that that bug was squashed in OpenSim build 7904.. Tried a reinstall of 7907 (the current build when I looked).. No change... I gave up Opensim for a while, but checking back on a question thread I posted on the OpenGrid.org forum, someone said that the only fix was to upgrade Debian 4/etch/stable to Debian5/lenny/unstable... Once I found out how to do that, the sim does ode just fine now.... I just assumed that the TekTonic Level 1 Debian 4/32bit vps that was recommended, would run correctly in the default configuration... BTW: the upgrade from etch to lenny was a piece of cake.. There are several good tutorials on doing the upgrade.. Takes about an hour.. Google "Debian Etch to Lenny" Just wanted to save others the trouble I went thru... Tas |
