Laszlof: /* Simulators */

== Network settings ==

OpenSim/Grid can be pretty tricky when it comes to setting it up on a private network this document covers what OpenSim needs in terms of network resources.

== Ports used by OpenSim ==

* OGS1 Grid Modes - Standard Port List
* TCP/8000 - Reserved
* TCP/8001 - Grid Server
* TCP/8002 - User Server and Login Services
* TCP/8003 - Asset Services
* TCP/8004 - Reserved (Inventory Services)
* TCP/8005 - Reserved (Dispatch Services)

== Simulators ==

* UDP+TCP/9000 - Default First Simulator
* UDP+TCP/9001 - Default Second Simulator
etc.

Note: If you use your simulator in standalone mode, it is enough to open the UDP+TCP/9000 on your firewall.

==Issues with NAT and Port Forwarding ==

If your host does not have a public IP address (eg it is hidden behind a home router) you will have issues hosting grid and region servers if you plan on connecting clients to it on both sides of the router, however this can be worked around through very careful application of port forwarding and use of DNS host files. Please note this is not guarunteed to work (and is most likely to fail), it is highly recommended to have a internet accessible public static IP for the server which is hosting the regions.

Method:
* Set the simulator listening IP address to your public facing IP address (that of the router concerned)
* Port forward the above ports through to the simulator on both UDP and TCP.
* Use an “ExternalAddress” of “somesimulator.somedomain.com” where you control the DNS for somedomain.com and can enter a “A Record” for ‘somesimulator.’ to your routers IP address.
* Create a “hosts” file (on windows this is C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts) entry on your internal client machines, for somesimulator.somedomain.com to your local LAN address for the simulator.

=Installing from source=

==MS Windows==

OpenSim requires either the .Net framework version 2.0, or the latest Mono. It also is compiled with the C# and not the C++ IDE for those who are using the no-cost Express Editions from MS.

=== Subversion Repository ===

1. Get the source code from the svn repository:

svn://opensecondlife.org/opensim/trunk

=== Building ===

2. In the top-level directory, run the 'runprebuild.bat' file. This will create both a VS2005 solution file, and a nant build file.

3. Open the resulting sln file with visual studio, and build it there, or if you prefer to use nant, run nant in the same top-level directory. This will build the executables.

=== Running ===

Double-click on the OpenSim.exe executable file in the 'bin' directory. This will start up OpenSim in standalone mode.

The debugger in VS2005 C# may be used to step through the code. For those that use a Cygwin shell, you may find that one or more dll's have permissions that cause problems running. Most find that a "chmod 777 *" from the bin directory solves this.

==Linux==

=== Subversion Repository ===

To check out the latest revision:

svn co svn://opensecondlife.org/opensim/trunk opensim.new/trunk

Note: The libopenjpeg-libsl-...so is not really working. For this reason you should download the newest libsecondlife from http://www.libsecondlife.org, and build your own libopenjpeg library. If you use this instead of the SVN version, your sim will work fine.

=== Building (Mono) ===

cd opensim.new/trunk

mono bin/Prebuild.exe /target nant
nant -buildfile:OpenSim.build

mono bin/Prebuild.exe /target nant
nant -buildfile:OpenSim.build

(Yes, you must rerun the prebuild again after the first build, and then build again!)

=== Running (Mono) ===

cd bin
mono OpenSim.exe

=Binary releases=

Some recent pre-compiled releases are available at [http://www.lotusbell.com/opensim/ OpenSim binaries]. These are usually a few revs out-of-date.
