SmartFoxServer running in an VM ?

Postby genar » 15 Oct 2017, 15:07

Hey there !

Im currently working on an mobile mmorpg. And because i dont want to pay for a server hoster yet, i want to do that by myself.
Is it possible to let SmartFoxServer run via Vmware ?

Have a great day :) !

Hi,
yes sure. As long as you're running an OS such as Linux, Windows or macOS inside the VM.

In terms of RAM even 64MB free can be enough to run a small instance. 512MB is probably best for larger traffic (above 1000)

Cheers.

Thanks for your fast answer !

And how do i do this ? Can i run SmartFoxServer as an own instance ? Or do i need to install it on an Windows Vm ? :)

Yes, you need an operating system.
So if you plan to use Windows, install Windows inside the virtual machine and then you can install and run SmartFoxServer.

Hope it help

Thanks again ! I just tried to install it on an win7 operating system. The installation was sucessfull, but somehow the smartfoxserver process wont start or instantly closes. I also cant connect to localhost:8080. Any ideas regarding this problem ? :/

Thanks :=)

Solved it by starting the batch :D

It should work both ways.
If the window closes down immediately check the log files, you should find errors at startup.
