We are please to announce we have successfully deployed the OpenSimulator across three separate windows servers each providing resource for a service. A small battle ensued due to a log-in issue with Mysql, after formatting the server with a fresh copy of windows and relaunch of Mysql 5 we had the same issue of not being able to connect. Turns out to have been a burp with the Cisco Pix Firewall we are running behind as the port wasn’t open, even though the statement was in the ios config – but issue resolved and we are gridin!
After about 30 minutes of playing in this 3 server grid mode, IRC chat confirmed that 0.4 opensim software was built more for stand alone mode and that the inventory retainment function is non-existent at this point in the build. Despite the 3 days of deployment to achieve grid mode on 3 servers endured due to the firewall, it worked successful. Further it was rather easy to deploy, once the db port was functioning.
