OpenSim: configs and setup

Ports

Port 9000 is used by the main OpenSim server, but there are six other ports associated with the other servers:

• 8001 Grid Server
• 8002 User Server
• 8003 Asset Server
• 8004 Inventory Server
• 8005 Script Server (not used initially)
• 8006 messaging Server (not used initially)

Server IP addresses

A lot of initialisation files are either required initially or are generated. the two initial files (assuming MySQL is used) are:

• OpenSim.ini
• mysql_connection.ini

Once the servers are up and running, and you have worked your way through the default settings by pressing in the server command windows enough times, xml files are generated, that may need to be changed. These are:

• AssetServer_Config.xml
• GridServer_Config.xml
• InventoryServer_Config.xml
• MessagingServer_Config.xml
• UserServer_Config.xml
• ScriptServer_Config.xml (I guess)

These different files define the ports they need to talk to the other servers, so need to be up-to-date if for some reason the ports have changed.
