Diva Hypergrid Opensim using Windows VPS

Installing the DIVA distro onto a VPS was almost as easy as installing the OSGrid attached binaries. Almost, but not quite.  Had to create a MySQL database, the user for it and grant correct rights for the Diva install to use.  This was already done in the OSGrid install because that one attaches to OSGrid and uses some of the OSGrid databases; while this DIVA distro is a private grid with its own set of databases (both are Hypergird enabled).

Fortunately, Diva's instructions for mySQL were clearly written (completing similar steps for WordPress installs all last year helped too).

The Diva Opensim instance loaded flawlessly (oops- forgot to open those firewall ports...ok, now that's done (Thanks Dan))...loaded flawlessly after the firewall port entries were made.

Yea!  Now using my VPS, I can run either the OSGrid attached instance of opensim or the Diva four (mega)region version of Opensim...So, that's nice and kept me happy for a week or so....

Next Target:  Figure how to use ROBUST so they can both run at the same time??  The osg forums and wiki as well as the opensimulator.org info on robust are - well ummm not quite clear enough to me - not yet.  More on this later...

So, I'm going to take an expert's advice and spend some time reading the comments from git..
Wait!  I don't have a clue How to do thaT!


BAck to Lbsa Plaza in hopes some wizard will have suggestions for this noob  :)
