Revision as of 08:42, 9 November 2011

How to setup OSP

• Make sure you have a Apache/PHP/MySQL configuration ready else Profiles won't work!!
• You also need to make sure you have php-xmlrpc or you will need to compile it in with php.

You can grab the latest version of OpenSimProfile through SVN, use the command below to checkout the code.

svn checkout http://forge.opensimulator.org/svn/osprofile

Note: For Windows users or those who have not used Subversion before, the instructions to set up the TortoiseSVN client on Windows may be helpful (scroll down for the client part of the instructions). After you've installed TortoiseSVN, then create a directory in the location of your choosing and then right click - choose "SVN Checkout..." - and enter the URL provided above to download the entire package.

Upload site to webroot

Next thing you need to do is upload your profile.php and databaseinfo.php located /trunk/webroot/ to your public http folder so Regions can connect to it.

Create a database

First you will need to create a database. Once you have finished that you can execute the following SQL file osprofiles.sql located in /trunk/webroot/sql/ from the SVN.

Then you need to setup your database connection file located /trunk/webroot/databaseinfo.php OR your webroot where you had uploaded databaseinfo.php

<?php
$DB_HOST = "<servername>";
$DB_USER = "<username>";
$DB_PASSWORD = "<password>";
$DB_NAME = "<database>";
?>

Setup Module

Now that we have everything else setup you just have to install the Module and reset your Regions Server.

First Copy trunk/bin/OpenSimProfile.Modules.dll and put it into your OpenSim/bin folder.

Now you go ahead and edit your OpenSim.ini on any servers that host Regions.

Inside OpenSim.ini add the following:

[Profile]
; Change it to your own HTTP server to have the Profile server work
ProfileURL = http://gridserver/profile.php

Finished

Just reboot your Regions server and you should now be able to edit and save your profiles!
