Run your second server in a virtual machine if it's powerful enough, or on a separate server if it's not.

2 different hosts will do the trick

[stedabest321]

To Do this, You need 2 VP's or 2 machines. [ 2 ips ] then create the server On each of the VPS etc After you have done this Get your Client open up the Oem.ini and dat and edit both of them like this.

[Oem]
Id=1337

[AccountSetup]
Type=1

[ServerInfo]
URL=Your Servers Website

[ServerStatus]
Link=Your Servers Website

[Header]
GroupAmount=1
Group1=Servers Name

[Group1]
ServerAmount=3           <----        How Many Servers Are they

Server1=TEST
Ip1=127.0.0.1
ServerName1=TEST

Server2=TEST
Ip2=127.0.0.1
ServerName2=TEST

Server3=TEST
Ip3=127.0.0.1
ServerName3=TEST

So where it says TEST Change that to your Servers Name
where it says 127.0.0.1 Use that your IP.
and Where it says Server Amount 3 Change that to how many VPS your running from do this for both Oems.

After that up your servers Then log in.

remember you need 2 diffrent DB for each one that means 2 diffrent Register pages !

yes certainly correct use can use this but about the register page doesnt matter u can combined it in 1website anyways..doesnt make any sense if you good in Php then its settle all problems..nice guides anyways

if still intrested

the answer is yes and no

why ??

for first reason , it is not possible to open more then 1 same port at the time , no mather how many ip's you got (port has nothing to do with ip)

to explain what i mean

try to run apache 2 times , or mysql , mysql use port 3306 , as long it is NOT in use then it will work , as soon it is in use will it fail to OPEN that port (as it is in use by other program)

to solve that problem
just change the ports

on that way you can run 100 servers on same server

but like you will know
only putting a differend port on the server is not enouf , you need to change your ports in the client to

i never tryed it , so i can not give you the final/easy solution
but now you know atleast where to look and then it is up to you to figure it out

so it is possible to run 2 servers from same ip but diffrent ports

Ip1=127.0.0.1:9999<--new port in oem.ini like this .?
Pic1=Server1
ServerName1=AngelOfDemonsV2

[kyushiro]

ok like this maybe the owner of question will confused...

Q: Can i Run 2server with 1client?

A: Easy Answer.Just buy 2 vps and then in oem do like aziq said change the oem ip and configure it just like Aziq showed

Some explanation added:

a server need a ip to identifie his location ( ip = pc )

but a pc got ports

to give a other kind of example

you got 1 table (ip) and 4 chairs (ports) and 4 childs (severs)

all the childs can choose a chair , no mather what chair they took , tehy still can sit down

now , if you are sitting on 1 chair ( using 1 port) can a other persone still sit on that chair at the same time ?? , no
but they can still use the table if they use a other chair

hopely this explained it more clearly to you of what ports are and what ip's are..

2nd Explanation

Answer-->
if you know how to configure it , then yes

if you do not know how to do it then no

and configuring it is harder then you think , as everything need a port change (including client to be able to conect)

only 2 things that does not need to have a port change is account server (to login) and mysql , all other things need a differend port

it is a lot easyer to take a second vps and put there your second server on , linked to your first vps

it prevent a lot of trouble

1) your vps will be able to handle more players before it start lagging
2) your vps will not crash that fast
3) your memory can be used for the players
4) you can use low ram , instead 4 GB ram to start with


Hopefully this will help some of this question and i think this explanation already fullfill what the question has been asked by the owner..

**Credits To PowerChaos for the full explanation and some for me for the Question Joke..Peace
