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.

Moo Menu

[edit] Required/recommend Software

• 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

[edit] 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

USER SERVER: Default Startup Message [Welcome to OGS]: Welcome to my gridservices

USER SERVER: Known good region Y [1000]: <enter>

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

• Select Grid-service

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

• Select Inventory-service

• Select Messaging-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]:
John
REGION CONFIG #1: Last Name of Master Avatar [User]:
Doe
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
