3    Running Multiple Servers on One Computer

Assigning distinct IP addresses

Use this method if you want your guests and members to access each Palace with 

different IP addresses or domain names, but with the same frontend port number. 

Each Palace will require:

A unique IP Address (For example, 208.129.210.5 and 208.129.210.77)

A separate Palace server registration code

  A separa  te p

server.conf

 file with unique addresses and/or port numbers.

In addition, a separate domain name is preferable, though not required. For 

example, 

pserverone.domain.com

, 

pservertwo.domain.com

.

Make sure the Palaces are not running while performing these operations.

To enable multiple servers, edit each server's 

pserver.conf 

with the following 

changes:

The 

FRONTEND

 number and the IP address. These must be unique for each server.

The 

PORT

 number in each

 pserver.conf.

 This must be unique for each server.

NOTE   

If you do not know either your IP address or Port number, see your systems 

administrator.
