You will need about 1.5Gb of memory (RAM + swap).

By default, the Virtual Machine is using a 1Gb swap file, so you will need to declare at least 512Mb of RAM in VirtualBox.

If you want to remove or change the swap file, follow that wiki:

> http://dev.ryzom.com/wiki/ryzom/MemoryToBuildLinuxServer

h3. Logon

You can log on the Virtual Machine using:

> user: ryzom

> password: ryzom

!virtualbox04.jpg!

If you need root access, use "sudo".

h3. Networking

By default, the Virtual Machine is using the following static ip:

> 192.168.1.100

gateway:

> 192.168.1.1

and DNS

> 192.168.1.1

You can connect on the Virtual Machine using "ssh" and "sftp".

If you want to change the ip and gateway, edit:

> /etc/network/interface

If you want to change the DNS, edit:

> /etc/resolv.conf

But don't forget to update FSHost in:

> /home/ryzom/ryzom/code/ryzom/server/frontend_service.cfg

h3. MySQL

You can access to the MySQL server using:

> user: root

> password: ryzom

You can use PHPMyAdmin too:

> http://192.168.1.100/phpmyadmin

with the default ip.

h2. Running the shard

To run the shard, connect to the Virtual Machine using the "ryzom" account, and use the following command:

> shard start

!virtualbox05.jpg!

Ignore the various warnings.

To stop the shard:

> shard stop

To forcefully stop the Virtual Machine, click on the "Machine" menu and "Close".

!virtualbox07.jpg!

Then "Power off the machine".

!virtualbox08.jpg!

You can monitor your shard using the webtool:

> http://192.168.1.100

with the default ip.

h2. Connecting a client

If you don't have a client, use that one (windows):

> https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B3LX3q7MsUEGN2UwMGY3MjAtYzlmZS00Yjg4LTljYTgtNDA3MmFiNWQ1Nzg5

Edit client.cfg to match your server ip:

> StartupHost          = "192.168.1.100:40916";

with the default ip.

That's all folks!!!
