This article aims at building and running a Ryzom OpenShard server on ubuntu.

Install Ubuntu server
Ubuntu Server 32bit 10.10 Maverick: http://mirror.ovh.net/ubuntu-releases/10.10/ubuntu-10.10-server-i386.iso
If help needed, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/installation.html
It can be setup in a virtual machine, like VirtualBox: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
user: ryzom
packages choice: ssh
Get Packages & Sources
Update repository information and packages:
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
At this point, if the kernel was update, you should consider rebooting:
sudo reboot
Install needed tools and libs to compile and run the server.(The MySQL root password will be prompt and will be needed later to log in phpmyadmin):
sudo apt-get install nano cmake bison build-essential boost-build mercurial screen apache2 mysql-server phpmyadmin rrdtool \ libgl1-mesa-dev libopenal-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libluabind-dev libfreetype6-dev \ libpng12-dev libjpeg62-dev libx11-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev \ libcurl4-openssl-dev libxmu-dev libexpat1-dev libxml2-dev libmysqlclient-dev zlib1g-dev
Download and install libwww:
mkdir /home/source && cd /home/source wget http://mirror.ovh.net/ubuntu//pool/universe/w/w3c-libwww/libwww-ssl0_5.4.0-11build2_i386.deb wget http://mirror.ovh.net/ubuntu//pool/universe/w/w3c-libwww/libwww-dev_5.4.0-11build2_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i libwww-dev_5.4.0-11build2_i386.deb libwww-ssl0_5.4.0-11build2_i386.deb
Download and build luabind:
wget http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/project/luabind/luabind/0.9/luabind-0.9.tar.gz tar xvfz luabind-0.9.tar.gz cd luabind-0.9 sudo bjam --prefix=/usr/local install
Download ryzom source code:
mkdir /home/ryzom && cd /home hg clone http://ryzom.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/ryzom/ryzom
Build Ryzom OpenShard server
Set environment variable to bash:
echo "export RYHOME=/home/ryzom/code" >> /home/.bashrc echo "export RYZOM_PATH=/home/ryzom/code/ryzom" >> /home/.bashrc echo "export PATH=\$PATH:\$RYZOM_PATH/tools/scripts/linux" >> /home/.bashrc . /home/.bashrc
Configuration option are set to build only nel & server (in static: http://dev.ryzom.com/projects/ryzom/wiki/BuildForLinuxCmake#Server-Chain-Crashingsee also CMakeOptions):
mkdir $RYHOME/build && cd $RYHOME/build cmake -DWITH_NEL=ON -DWITH_RYZOM_SERVER=ON -DWITH_STATIC=ON -DWITH_STATIC_DRIVERS=ON \ -DWITH_RYZOM_CLIENT=OFF -DWITH_DRIVER_OPENGL=OFF -DWITH_DRIVER_OPENAL=OFF -DWITH_SOUND=OFF \ -DWITH_NEL_TOOLS=OFF -DWITH_RYZOM_TOOLS=OFF -DWITH_NEL_TESTS=OFF -DWITH_NEL_SAMPLES=OFF ..
Build and install:
make -j3 sudo make install
Copy the compiled binaries to their proper locations:
cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_admin_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/ryzom_admin_service/ryzom_admin_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_ai_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/ai_service/ai_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_backup_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/backup_service/backup_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_dynamic_scenario_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/dynamic_scenario_service/dynamic_scenario_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_entities_game_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/entities_game_service/entities_game_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_frontend_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/frontend_service/frontend_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_gpm_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/gpm_service/gpm_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_ios_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/input_output_service/input_output_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_log_analyser_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/log_analyser_service/log_analyser_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_logger_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/logger_service/logger_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_mail_forum_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/mail_forum_service/mail_forum_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_mirror_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/mirror_service/mirror_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_naming_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/ryzom_naming_service/ryzom_naming_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_pd_support_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/pd_support_service/pd_support_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_persistant_data_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/persistant_data_service/persistant_data_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_reference_builder_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/pd_reference_builder/pd_reference_builder cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_session_browser_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/session_browser_server/session_browser_server cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_shard_unifier_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/shard_unifier_service/shard_unifier_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_tick_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/tick_service/tick_service cp $RYHOME/build/bin/ryzom_welcome_service $RYZOM_PATH/server/src/ryzom_welcome_service/ryzom_welcome_service
Configure Ryzom OpenShard server
Fix shell problems:
sed -i 's:/bin/sh:/bin/bash:g' $RYZOM_PATH/tools/scripts/linux/shard sed -i 's:/bin/sh:/bin/bash:g' $RYZOM_PATH/server/shard.screen.rc
Edit different files to match our server configuration :
FSListenHost = "your.server.ip.adress";
nano $RYZOM_PATH/server/frontend_service.cfg
define('NELTOOL_SYSTEMBASE','/home/ryzom/code/ryzom/tools/server/admin/');
nano $RYZOM_PATH/tools/server/admin/config.php
$LogRelativePath = './logs';
nano $RYZOM_PATH/tools/server/www/login/config.php
Create missing directory and set permissions:
mkdir $RYZOM_PATH/server/save_shard/rrd_graphs/ mkdir $RYZOM_PATH/tools/server/www/login/logs/ chmod o+w $RYZOM_PATH/tools/server/www/login/logs/ chmod o+w $RYZOM_PATH/tools/server/admin/graphs_output
cp -r $RYZOM_PATH/tools/server/admin/templates/default $RYZOM_PATH/tools/server/admin/templates/default_c chmod o+w $RYZOM_PATH/tools/server/admin/templates/default_c
Configure Apache2 Web Server & MySQL Database
Replace the content with: http://dev.ryzom.com/attachments/1150/default
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
Restart apache2 service:
sudo service apache2 restart
Then, go to: http://your.server.ip.adress/phpmyadmin and import http://dev.ryzom.com/attachments/1151/ryzom.sql to setup the database.
Run the Shard
shard start
The Shard is running in screen, so you can monitor each of the running service by: CTRL+A, N
Alternatively, you can use the web-Admin interface: http://your.server.ip.adress (default login: guest/guest or admin/guest)
To stop the Shard:
detached screen by pressing CTRL+A, D
shard stop
