[Opensim-users] trouble with new osgrid region

Sat Oct 5 00:46:19 UTC 2013

Thanks James but..

I know there are not multiple flavors.  I only mentioned it for completeness.

The main problem turned out to be that I had inadvertently forgot to open 9000 on my server.  Silly me.  I am amazed it worked at all.  As soon as I did that and cleaned up some server mono installation issues, scripts worked just fine.

I don't agree that you need "real servers" per se.  Go play on Kitely if you don't believe cloud instances will work.   In any case that discussion and set of opinions is neither here nor there.   But it really isn't up to you as far as I know to say what kind of server is "supported".  If it works and works well enough then it works, right?

thanks again.

That being said, if the DNS entries for a given IP address are *not* right and proper, trouble will ensue if you attempt using the DNS name instead of a plain IP address.

What is surprising about it is that you are seeing it. What this message is about is the (re)positioning or possibly the arrival of an avatar in the region. That avatar is originally logged in from 'http://mariaclaude.no-ip.org:9000/'. Hypergrid? In any case, that it failed (and how it failed) is telling of trouble with your networking. This trouble could actually be with the avatar as reflected in the message; it might look something like this if the person closed the viewer before their jump completed.

This will provide you the opportunity to insure that each is correct, and eliminate any possibility of DNS issues being the cause. One reason for configuring this way for production is that it eliminates the time required to look up the IP address using the DNS system, which can sometimes be substantial under load.

I have a static IP on the region and originally did not have a DNS pointing to it.  I don't know if that or something else got it confused but I see a couple of issues.  The region did come up fine on osgrid.
