If your frontend service is available through a firewall using NAT and a mapped IP address this is how you can advertise that external IP address. For example if your FS is on 192.168.1.100 internally but your firewall maps 74.125.225.210 through to your FS you would want to configure FSListenHost to be the address the clients connect to: 74.125.225.210.

Don't forget to change the paths used below to match where your source is checked out!

You can place these into the same configuration file or separately, it's up to you. If you want to serve up some unique content, a signup page or something along those lines you can change the main website's DocumentRoot so long as the admin tool alias is still there.

The configuration files in code/ryzom/server expect your user to be named 'shard' with NO PASSWORD. If you decide to use a different name for your MySQL user, or assign it a password, you will need to go through the .cfg files and change these values from 'shard' and "" wherever they appear. (they appear in several of the .cfg files)

Since this (and a password) can lead to unexpected errors (eg. error '4000') it is best to make sure everything works correctly with the defaults first.

• To start: shard start
• To stop: shard stop
• To view screen: shard join
• To switch monitored service: Ctrl-A+n
