Different Worlds, Different Universes

 
If you are running a world in a universe other than the default Active Worlds Universe, you will need to modify the world.ini file to contain the location information of your universe server so that the world server can find it on startup. This process is also described in the installation instructions for the Active Worlds UniServer.

To specify a different universe, add a new section to the world.ini file called "[universe]", and under that add a new entry "host=" to specify the domain name or IP address of the universe server. For example:

[universe]
host=universe.mydomain.com

You can also specify an optional "port=" entry here if your universe is not running on the default port 5670.

Note that, as with any changes to the world.ini file, if your world server is running when you make these changes, you must shut it down and restart it for the changes to take effect.
