Opensimulator with Windows Server 2008 R2 Install and Basic Setup

DRAFT VERSION April 10, 2012

This document includes instructions for installing and configuring a standalone, Opensimulator version 0.7.3.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit machine.

OpenSimulator now requires .NET Framework 3.5 when running under Windows. When you run OpenSimulator on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, it is already bundled so you can run OpenSimulator 0.7.1 out-of-the-box.

1. Make sure that the NET services on your Win Server 2008 R2 are set to Start, Automatic. The default services for NET are not started on the Windows Server 2008 R2.

2. Download opensim-0.7.3.1 from URL http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Download to your Download directory on your PC.

3. Extract this zip file to a new root directory on your PC using the same file name for the folder (c:\opensim-0.7.3.1).

3. From Windows, open a DOS command window.

4. Type cd c:\opensim-0.7.3.1\bin.

5. Type copy OpenSim.ini.example OpenSim.ini in the opened DOS command window and hit enter.

This configures the 3D simulator itself.

6. Type cd c:\opensim-0.7.3.1\bin\config-include.

7. Type copy StandaloneCommon.ini.example StandaloneCommon.ini

This configures the in-process data services used by the standalone configuration.

8. From Windows execute NotePad program.

9. From NotePad open c:\opensim-0.7.3.1\config-include\StandaloneCommon.ini file

10. Edit the file as follows. In the [Architecture] section of OpenSim.ini, near the bottom of the file, uncomment the Standalone.ini line. To uncomment a line of code, remove the semi-colon (;) comment symbol preceding the line so that it says: Include-Architecture = "config-include/Standalone.ini"

11. Save file and close NotePad program.

12. Return to your open DOS command window.

13. Type Opensim.32BitLaunch in the opened DOS command window and hit enter.

14.
