Creating a test server or second server

[Richie]

So what needs changed to either make a 2nd server or a test server ? :unsure:

What has to be unique ?

 

Is it the InstanceID

or the DB =

Can it still use the same default port (6379)

 

I would guess the passwords can be the same

 

Cheers in advance :)

Change the instance ID if you want to have your DB's (character data) linked

 

Change the DB= if you want seperate unlinked DB's, which I'd recommend for a test server.

 

All the db's get created inside the same redis server regardless of instance / db.

 

So you only need one redis running. :)

I thought they needed a seperate instance and DB but mine just isn't saving, my live server runs fine, my test server just won't save, each restart i'm a fresh spawn.

Is it because the test server DB has a different password or does it need another instance of Redis running ? I'm puzzled

 

Also i have the following errors, the path at the top is my live server, the errors i presume are caused on the test server.

Can i run both on the same time? i dont think so.... because the second one cant use the steam query ports!?

You can use the same redis server instance and same password and port. If you want seperate hive then change DB=0 to DB=1 and it will create a new database for your second server.

Simply change the port for your second server. If your first server is 2302, then second could be 2322.
