[Opensim-users] Question about OpenSim.32BitLaunch (Any Version)

Mon Jan 23 07:45:48 UTC 2012

Ahh... On Windows 7 x64 I tried running OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe and in 
the task manager it seems to show up as a 32 bit process. So if this is 
really the case I am wondering if even running it on something like 
Windows Server 2008 would even make a difference since Windows seems to 
be registering it as a 32 bit process?

If I were to try running all my regions over multiple instances of 
OpenSim; is it as simple as splitting up my Regions.ini entries into 
multiple copies of my OpenSim installation? For example, I have 8 
regions and want to run 2 regions per OpenSim instance. So I make 4 
directories, copy my OpenSim install 4 times, 1 per directory, and then 
Edit my Regions.ini file to have 2 regions of the appropriate regions 
per install. So I'd have something like this:

./os1/bin/ > /Regions/Regions.ini
./os2/bin/ > /Regions/Regions.ini
./os3/bin/ > /Regions/Regions.ini
./os4/bin/ > /Regions/Regions.ini

And just execute them from top down?

This is running in standalone mode currently.
