[Opensim-users] Standalone vs. Grid

[diva at metaverseink.com]

Just to clarify: people don't need to run a multiple-server grid in 
order for other people to connect to their virtual worlds. You can run a 
standalone grid -- all services in the same process, including the 
region service -- and people will be able to connect, as long as the 
ports are properly open.

My advice for people who don't plan to operate a large-scale virtual 
world is to stick to standalone, only changing to using MySQL as the DB 
backend. It's so much easier to operate and maintain!

If there are any questions on any of this, please let's hear them. I'm 
not sure where on the Wiki we project the message that a multiple-server 
grid is necessary in order to let people in -- we need to get rid of 
that message.
