SVN 8525, you no longer need to listen on port 8895 (or whatever you
have set up your server to listen on because this is configurable) when
connecting a region server to a grid (like hooking up a region to OS
Grid), hence

remoting_listener_port =3D 8895

can be removed from the ini, and you can hence close that port on your
router because it isn't used any more.

Remoting is just one method of communicating with other stuff over the
internet, and has until now required OpenSim to use an extra port for
interregion communication. Now, instead of using Remoting, Diva's
changes mean that HTTP is used instead, and this means the main HTTP
port set in your ini:

http_listener_port =3D 9000=20

(or, again, whatever port number you are configured to listen on) is now
also used for interregion communications (joining a grid successfully).=20

XML RPC is a protocol that is used by the remote administration tools
that many people use. It operates over the main http_listener_port
setting, hence the default of 9000 is also used for this sort of
communication. Those tools will be unaffected by this change.

What this also means, which Diva stated, is that you can't mix and match
between older OpenSim instances and this newer OpenSim code. You can't
have regions expecting communication on port 8895 and not hearing
anything back - you need to be on a similar version of OpenSim (>=3D =
8525)

Diva or others, please correct me if I have misunderstood or
mistranslated any of this :)

Subject: [Opensim-users] r8525: no more remoting

Just a heads-up to let everyone know that r8525 departs from .NET=20
Remoting for good.
Post-r8525 sims no longer listen on remoting ports, they use http=20
exclusively. This means that those of you who haven't updated your sims=20
in the past month or so won't be able to go to places that are
up-to-date.

The UCI Hypergrid gateways are up-to-date.
