[Opensim-users] MySQL on seperate server?

[John Mieske]

I have to agree with Darren here. If your doing this at home, you might as
well have both on the same computer. Your internet in general will dictate
what you can do. So if your running this at home, hang up the idea of two
computer region serving because no one will see a difference when they
already bogg down from a slow internet connection to your region. I have
seen some Regions who run them at home with the best of intentions only shut
down days later because they realize their internet only allowed 2 avatars
to run smoothly. When they got to 3, their sim started to crash. It is all
about your upload speed. However, if you got a FAT PIPE ( not to smoke
hahaha ) then yea you definitely might want to try the way I suggested.
Again everything in OpenSim is based on HOW you run your Grid / Regions.
Nothing is 100% set one way. I only offered a suggestion to those who could
use this benefit. And there are already some servers that has been setup
this way and they are smooth.
