0.9.1 Unclear how to convert to single "Robust" style server versus 5 servers about whitecore-dev

[greythane]

WhiteCore/Aurora does not use a single server a-la-robust but specific servers running in separate threads. As far as I am aware, all the ports used are the standard ones that OpenSim uses.

By default the OpenSim .ini files for a Grid setup now specify port 8002 for all the externally accessible services and hence that port must be open through firewalls and it uses port 8003 for INTERNAL server to server traffic which can therefore be made closed at the firewall if running on a single server or on a local subnet. [8004 is in the configs as a suggestion for a Freeswitch voice server if you run one]. Then ports 9000... are typically used for region as in WhiteCore.

People can change the ports and add more for distributing services, but all the old 80xx port use was removed some time ago I think.

But the main thing is to document for WhiteCore what MUST be externally accessible (and hence a hole in the firewall allowed) and which are purely server to server internal traffic ports, then people can get things set up correctly the first time. At present I have had to assume all these must be externally accessible...

8002
8003
8010..8014
9000... for regions
20800 for XML-RPC

i've downloaded the WhiteCore base configuration and did all manually.
i've forwarded the following ports on the firewall:
8002 (TCP), 8003 (TCP), 8010-8013 (TCP) => grid server.
8004 (TCP) should be used for Freeswitch but didn't use it here.
9000 (TCP/UDP), 9001 (TCP/UDP) => sim server (2 sims)
i've never used XML RPC on that build.
The Auto Configuration didn't work that way i want.
On Manual Configuration you only need to compare with bin/Configuration bin/ServerConfiguration and bin/WebServerConfiguration after each upate from git.
In some cases the configuration has changed.
That works best for me.
If you migrate from Robust do a IAR/OAR export and reimport the things in the new database.
Some scripts aren't working so you need to investigate some time to convert the scripts manualy.

but for shure you'll never have a robust in WhiteCore. it acts in a different way. its another product.

The only change that you have to remember coming from OpenSim is that before you move over is to make OAR files of all your regions and keep a backup of them.

In the new version (0.9.2) there will be an easier way to upgrade your region and grid servers

Added "Network Requirements and Settings.txt" in WhiteCoreDocs detailing the current networking requirements.
