Dont use localhost or 127.0.0.1

Hi, The instructions say not to use localhost or 127.0.0.1 so how does it run on localhost? I tried running it from my web hosting site but that doesnt allow port 8008 to be used. How are people running this on localhost please? also I set this up on diva distro and the same problem occurs.
Thank you for your help

All PC on the network has IP address other than 127.0.0.1
If you use Windows, please execute "command prompt" from 'Start'->'Accessories' Menu
And input "ipconfig" command

ex.)
C:\Users\...> ipconfig

So, IP address will be displayed.


How do you execute OpenSim before Money Server?
OpenSim needs 9000 port and any 800x port.
If you can not open 9000/800x port, OpenSim will not work, too.

Thank you for the quick reply
yes I can run opensim ok, what I meant to say is when I moved (ftp) the money server to my remote web host because I cant use localhost, I thought I couldnt run it locally so I tried to run it from a remote web host server and use www.my_web_server.com:8008.
From what you say I should be using 192.168.1.68 locally is this right? I will try that while I wait for your reply.

I think you are right.
Probably, it will be better to execute Money Server by the same machine as OpenSim.
I think your connection URL to Money Server is https://192.168.1.68:8008/ or http://192.168.1.68:8008/

Thank you for your help, the money server now works for me. :)

I thought well.
If you use one Region Server (OpenSim.exe), you can localhost(127.0.0.1) address as Money Server's IP address.

Money Server identifies user by "user name@Money Server's IP"
So, when you use two or more Region Servers, if you use localhost(127.0.0.1) at one Region Server, Money Server recognizes the same user to be a different user.

Thanks.
