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:

Select the file you previously downloaded, ryzom_core_server.vdi.

!virtualbox03.jpg!

Validate your Virtual Machine and click on "Settings" to change the network settings.

For "Adapter 1", select Attached to "Bridged Adapter".

Select your ethernet adapter.

Click on "Advanced" to display the advanced settings.

Set the "Mac Address" to:

> 080027018C16

*Important notice:* If you don't specify the Mac Address, the Virtual Machine will detect a new network adapter and ignore the network settings.

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/interfaces

If you want to change the DNS, edit:

> /etc/resolv.conf

But don't forget to update FSListenHost in:

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

You can use "vi" or "nano" to edit the settings.

If your network adapter is not recognized, delete the following file:

> /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

and restart the Virtual Machine.

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, download the last one (windows):

> http://dev.ryzom.com/projects/ryzom/wiki/WindowsBinaries

Edit client.cfg to match your server ip:

> StartupHost          = "192.168.1.100:40916";

with the default ip.

That's all folks!!!
