==Step 1: Install the software==
+
__NOTOC__
−
We are going to install the opensim server(0.5 stable) in the /opt directory from the terminal...
+
{{Quicklinks}}
−
su root
+
<br />
−
cd /opt
+
−
svn co http://opensimulator.org/svn/opensim/tags/0.5.0-release opensim
+
  
−
==Step 2: Binary/Library preparation==
+
This tutorial is a step-by-step procedure on how to create a production environment on a Linux-server. It's by no means perfect, so if you have ideas to improve it, please let them hear on the discussion page.
−
* We build opensim, and create the proper directory structure for future updates...
+
−
cd opensim
+
−
sh ./runprebuild.sh
+
−
nant
+
−
* After a succesful build, we are going to create additional directories...
+
−
mkdir libraries
+
−
mkdir production
+
−
mv OpenSim production
+
−
mv bin production
+
  
−
* Testrun opensim by executing it:
+
[[Image:Moo.jpg|250px|thumb|Moo Menu]]
−
mono /opt/opensim/production/bin/OpenSim.exe
+
−
You will be asked to enter some initial settings. Just hit enter all the time, until the default region is served...
+
−
You can try connecting the secondlife client by launching the executable like this:
+
−
/pathtoslclient/secondlife -loginuri http://localhost:9000 -loginpage http://localhost:9000/?method=login
+
  
−
==Step 3:Adding custom textures==
+
== Required/recommend Software ==
−
Move the [[genassets.pl]] perl script in your libraries directory
+
* Mono 1.9.1 - .NET framework
 +
* MySQL - Main database engine
 +
* OpenSSH - Remote terminal connection
 +
* RSync - Remote backup tool
 +
* Ngircd - Easy and fast IRC-server
 +
* SVN - If you want to use the SVN-backup module
 +
* Screen - Multiple terminal-sessions
 +
* Dialog - For Moo menu
 +
* Openjpeg - Required for jp2-texture converter
 +
* Redux - Easy to use Webinterface for OpenSimulator
 +
 
 +
== Setup a Grid ==
 +
* Download the Moo script from console as root in somedir (e.g. ~/source/moo) The user for the SVN is anonymous and the password is left blank.
 +
svn checkout http://forge.opensimulator.org/svn/moo/trunk .
 +
* Start the Moo-installer
 +
./moo install
 +
Moo: Install OpenSimulator in /opt/opensim? (y/n) <=y
 +
This will install the latest svn along with the "right" directory structures in /opt/opensim
 +
Next thing you see something like:
 +
Moo: Ok, we need some basic config-files. Renaming...
 +
Moo: Take a sip of coffee. This part might be important.
 +
Moo: I will try to create a database based on the information you provide.
 +
Moo: Now edit mysql_connection.ini, so MySQL can do it's thing...
 +
 
 +
Press any key to continue
 +
If you don't know the vi-editor, please read up a bit about that before editing or you may become frustrated with it :-)
 +
So, change database, username and password to reflect your MySQL settings. Save the file now, and quit the editor. After this you'll
 +
notice you end up in yet another config-file. This is OpenSim.ini...
 +
 
 +
There are alot of settings you can tweak, but for now I'll stick with the most basic settings to start a grid.
 +
* Set gridmode to true
 +
* Disable current storage_plugin and storage_connection_string (disabling by putting ';' at the start of the line)
 +
* Enably mysql storage_plugin and storage_connection_string (and enter the right db-info into the connection string)
 +
* Change asset_database to "grid"
 +
* Set serverside_object_permissions to true
 +
* Set meshing to Meshmerizer
 +
* Set physics to OpenDynamicsEngine
 +
* Save and exit
 +
The administrator menu will now autostart.
 +
* Select services menu > Start UGAIM Services
 +
When it says done, press exit
 +
* Select User-Service

Messaging-Service setup is now completed, and the Messaging-service should run fine now. Press ctrl-a + d to return to the Moo-menu.

You have succesfully setup UGAIM-Services. If we want to enable both connections from the inside, and from the outside, we must reroute some traffic.

  • Select Environment menu > System menu > Fix IP-Routing

Now that's out of the way, all we need now is to connect a Region-Service to the UGAIM.

  • Select Services > Start Region Service, and press exit after "done" appears
  • Select Region-service

Because the region service is new, it will try to create a default region. This will be your first region. 

DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Region Name [OpenSim Test]: My Home Island
DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Grid Location (X Axis) [1000]: <enter>
DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Grid Location (Y Axis) [1000]: <enter>
DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Internal IP Address for incoming UDP client connections [0.0.0.0]:
192.168.2.101 <LAN-IP>
REGION CONFIG #1: Internal IP Port for incoming UDP client connections [9000]: <enter>
REGION CONFIG #1: External Host Name [127.0.0.1]:
82.73.39.53 <WAN-IP, in case you want both LAN and WAN connections. Otherwise enter LAN-IP>
REGION CONFIG #1: First Name of Master Avatar [Test]:

REGION CONFIG #1: Last Name of Master Avatar [User]:

REGION CONFIG #1: (Sandbox Mode Only)Password for Master Avatar account [test]:
MySandboxpw

Region-Service setup is now completed, and the Region-service should run fine now. Press ctrl-a + d to return to the Moo-menu.

From here, you should be able to connect the SL-Viewer to your new Grid. Try: 

'/path/to/secondlife' --grid http://192.168.2.101:8002
