Good to hear, art and great need in the same sentence is what we want! > I tried to run the old server on windows 7 but thats nothing but > trouble the rex viewer does not work either, and yea sure i set it all > to admin mode and so on the usual stuff you do when it does not work They both should work. I've used the old rex viewer on a win7 system recently, no probs. A little more time has passed since ran the old server, and don't actually remember doing that on win7, but I'm pretty sure it works. Perhaps if you can describe those probs somehow we can help. And the new Naali viewer works against the old server too. > But as i noticed the rex viewer is now old and we have the new Naali > viewer and Taiga server ?? grid is now called gid ?? one connects to > an url ?? even trough a browser ?? you guys completely lost me this > time rex was a stand alone server and with a little help trough emails > to far away friends i got it online but this thing.... :) It is not actually that much different, perhaps not at all from your standpoint - connecting is similar but you can now also use openid accounts like google mail etc. so don't necessarily need the separate rex accounts etc. (but those also work still). One problem is that Taiga is always in grid mode, and (due to the Cable Beach extensions) doesn't support the simple to-file saving with sqlite which the old rex server was using by default, but requires the mysql db engine to be installed to the system and creating some db tables etc. > I can only ask you to help me because my desperate search on the net > for a forum or some media to help was hopeless. > So please help me out tell and me how i can run my own public server > on a windows 7 system This is right place to ask, as AFAIK there are no active forums on the web and this is the users mailing list. We are also on on irc during work hours here in Finland, on #realxtend on freenode. I think the simplest for you is to just use the old 0.5 server release, as it doesn't require any configuration. If there is some problem on your win7 that you can't resolve, the instructions to get Taiga up are at http://wiki.realxtend.org/index.php/Getting_Started_with_Taiga The part about MySQL is here, not too complicated but some trouble, http://wiki.realxtend.org/index.php/Getting_Started_with_Taiga#Setting_up_MySql We are now working on also simpler server confs that don't need database servers always etc. but that is the situation now. ~Toni -- http://groups.google.com/group/realxtend http://www.realxtend.org
