==== What is a Dual-Mode Sandbox Shard? ====

Well, for one thing it is a first for the URU community. If you are the kind of person who wants to run your own shard one day, this wiki will show you how to do that.

The dual-mode sandbox is based on two previous wiki pages on UAM namely http://dusty.homeunix.net/wiki/Tiny_Sandbox_Shard_Howto and http://dusty.homeunix.net/wiki/Setting_Up_A_Sandbox_Shard_with_Dataserver.

The key advantage of a dual-mode shard is that the owner can switch between the two types of shard without a reboot. If you got your Tiny Sandbox and Full Sandbox working what you may have found out is they will happily run on the same server, but obviously not at the same time. Just use the same dirtsand installation when you build up your full dataserver.

<per>/opt/dirtsand</per>

To switch between the two shard setups all you need to do is edit the dirtsand.ini file in your dirtsand directory on your ubuntu box.

== Here is how. ==

For full dataserver:

<per>
File.Root = /opt/dirtsand/data
Auth.Root = /opt/dirtsand/authdata
</per>

For tiny mode:

<per>
File.Root = /opt/dirtsand/tiny/data
Auth.Root = /opt/dirtsand/tiny/authdata
</per>

You do not need to change anything else in the file (if you followed the two wiki's) so save it and relaunch dirtsand with

<per>bin/dirtsand dirtsand.ini
</per>

I am sure a linux guru can write a little script to make this dummy proof.

Enjoy
