I would recommend including a bit more detail when posting to the users list about what a change like this means - don't expect everyone to be a developer :)
>From what I understand (Diva, others, please correct me if wrong), as of 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 = 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 = 9000 (or, again, whatever port number you are configured to listen on) is now also used for interregion communications (joining a grid successfully). 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 (>= 8525) Diva or others, please correct me if I have misunderstood or mistranslated any of this :) Chris -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Diva Canto Sent: 20 February 2009 04:57 To: [email protected] Subject: [Opensim-users] r8525: no more remoting Just a heads-up to let everyone know that r8525 departs from .NET Remoting for good. Post-r8525 sims no longer listen on remoting ports, they use http exclusively. This means that those of you who haven't updated your sims 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. _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users No virus found in this incoming message.
