How to make 2 server run in 1 database?

[thovn]

I don't know whether it is available to make 2 or more servers run in 1 database, this make people can train in other server when players are crowded

 

[chrissdegrece]

Yes you can.

I never did it but I am sure you can.

 

[lovbudy]

long back a3mania had eventa3 mania server on!! simantaneously

 

[atharvz]

first make 2 copies of server files den config both wid diff. Ports nd remember dat d:a3server\account shld b same in both files nd run both server at same time.

 

[chrissdegrece]

loginserver can be same too , and maybe account server???

 

[atharvz]

no both login server nd account server shld nt b same

 

[lovbudy]

it will give error windows socketing error something

 

[chrissdegrece]

If login server is not same then 2nd server won't show up in list

 

[Mrgentle]

if bandwidth is the problem then 2 zoneagents on 2 diff Internet connection

if server load (CPU) is the constraint you can make a lan and keep zonsever on diff pc and congifure the other servers acc to work with 2 server..

Did you try to put 2nd server in loginserver and run 2nd zoneagent in different port with also different Server ID?

Loginserver

[SERVER_GROUP]
COUNT=2
ID0=0
NAME0=A3Server_1

ID1=1
NAME1=A3Server_2

Zoneagent_1

[STARTUP]
APPNAME=ZONEAGENT
SERVERID=0

Zoneagent_2

[STARTUP]
APPNAME=ZONEAGENT
SERVERID=1

2nd zoneagent in different port?

I didnt get it !
But Are you sure abt this to run 2 servers in database ??

 

[lovbudy]

hi all
as chriss said and following his guidance i was able to run two server at time and even the second server.

@Sam
From my above answer u would have understood we can run two server at time with same SQL database

If you need 2 entirely different worlds with the same database, its possible by using a Common LoginServer and separate Mainserver, Account, Zone, CGS and Battleserver for each world.

Its a complex setup and a useless one if you ask me. There is no chance of a World getting crowded in A3 keeping in mind the total number of players on any server. You will have to take care about ServerIDs so that there are no conflicts with the Log files for each world.

Also the 2 Accountservers requires access to the same File Databases.

 

[krobleus]

And if we want different Db also wht we have to do

 

[cvrdheeraj]

Create new databases and use 8880 and 9990 to connect to the 2nd database.
