This tutorial is mainly focused on Linux-servers, but most of it will work on Windows-machines to.

Recommended Software and Versions
- Archlinux - Fast and lightweight linux-distro
- Mono 1.9.1 - .NET framework
- OpenSSH - Remote terminal connection
- Nant - Building tool
- Ratbox Ircd - IRC chat
- Asterisk - Voice
- SVN - Backup
- Screen - Multiple terminal-sessions
Setup a Grid
Step 1: Create a suitable production direction structure
cd /opt mkdir opensim opensim/production opensim/builds opensim/scripts opensim/library/ opensim/source opensim/backup
Step 2: Get the software
We are going to install the latest and greatest opensim svn-server from the svn-trunk.
cd /opt/opensim/builds svn info http://opensimulator.org/svn/opensim/trunk
Now get the revision-number(4523 at the moment), and make a directory for it...
mkdir 4523 cd 4523 svn co http://opensimulator.org/svn/opensim/trunk .
Step 3: Setup a first run
- We first build the binaries now
sh ./runprebuild.sh nant
- I hope for you that the build will be succesful. If not, check out your mono-version and check out if all dependencies are available. Now we copy the build to the production directory
cd bin cp -R * /opt/opensim/production
- Prepare the configuration-files
cd /opt/opensim/production cp OpenSim.ini.example OpenSim.ini cp mysql_connection.ini.example mysql_connection.ini
- Setup mysql-storage in OpenSim.ini and mysql_connection.ini (don't setup Grid-mode yet)
- Run /opt/opensim/scripts/iptables.sh, to fix the router-loopback issue
- Edit /etc/hosts.allow, and make sure it allows the service you are running (OpenSim thinks localhost is your LAN-IP, not the loopback-device). The 192.68.1. part is your local-ip range. We are setting up local allowance for the mysql-daemon, and global allowance of the SSH-daemon:
mysqld: 192.168.1. 127.0.0.1 localhost sshd: ALL
- Now run OpenSimulator
cd /opt/opensim/production mono OpenSim.exe
- If the settings are correct, OpenSim will ask you to setup initial settings. Enter your administrator avatar info, the LAN-IP for internal IP, and the WAN-IP for external ip. After everything is entered, the region-server will run in standalone mode. We now setup Grid mode.
Step 4: Setup a Grid server
In our configuration, we will have the mysql-server, the UGAI-services and one Region-Service on our box. It's easy to extend it later with more Region-Services and/or other boxes.
- Create a booting script for the UGAI and (R)egion-service.
nano /opt/opensim/scripts/ugair.sh
