Use this to create a sim that links into Infinite Grid from Linux. It's only been tested on Ubuntu 10.04, YMMV. Follow these steps. Go to - http://wiki.infinitegrid.org/index.php/Howto_Link_your_Opensim_region_to_Infinite_Grid and follow the directions to create an admin user account. You can skip that bit if you already have a suitable user with sudo access. Note that these scripts pretty much follow that above wiki description, with some exceptions. REST is used for console access, instead of screen. The configuration information per sim has been rearranged so that there is only ONE copy of the OpenSim installation. Next you need to figure out what password you want to use for OpenSims access to the database. We will call this "DatabasePassword". Run the following script - ./install_opensim.sh DatabasePassword This will do most of the work fo you, except for creating sims. A separate script is here for sim creation, you can use it to create many sims. You will need - Your host name, or it could be your IP, we will use "sims.example.net". A name for your sim, we will use "My new sim". It should be unique on the grid. A location for your sim, we will use "1234,5678". You can use the Infinite Grid web based map to poke around and find a good location. Choose an empty spot. Optionally, you might need your IP address if you are creating more than one sim, we will use "1.2.3.4". Once you have all that information sorted out, run this script if ONLY hosting a single sim on this computer - ./create_sim.sh "My new sim" "1234,5678" "sims.example.net" Or this if you plan on running more than one sim - ./create_sim.sh "My new sim" "1234,5678" "sims.example.net" "1.2.3.4" Now you can go to /opt/opensim/config/sim01 and run the following script to start it up - ./start-sim-in-rest You will see the REST console. You can run the REST console again by running that command once more. Once it's all tested, you can use this to finish things off (back in this directory) - ./go_live.sh
