Project: Scalable autopatcher server service

Description: Expanded version of AutopatcherServer_PostgreSQL. It will self-scale to load, using Rackspace Cloud to add additional servers when all servers are full. Load balancing is accomplished with the help of CloudServer / CloudClient. DynDNS is used to point to the host of the system.

Sever setup:
1. Download RakNet
2. Define OPEN_SSL_CLIENT_SUPPORT 1 in RakNetDefines.h
3. Build AutopatcherServer-SelfScaling
4. Create a new user with administrator
5. Set Windows to auto-login with this user http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/auto-logon-windows-7.htm
6. Add to the startup folder (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2806079) of that user ( C:\Users\Rakkar\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup ) C:\RakNet\Samples\AutopatcherServer_SelfScaling\Release\AutopatcherServer_SelfScaling.bat
7. In AutopatcherServer_SelfScaling.bat put
cd C:\RakNet\Samples\AutopatcherServer_SelfScaling
CALL C:\RakNet\Samples\AutopatcherServer_SelfScaling\Release\AutopatcherServer_SelfScaling.exe serverToServerPassword 60000 8096 8000 version1.mygamepatcher.com mygamepatcher.com https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0 rackspaceUsername rackspaceAPIAccessKey databasePassword 3 6 0
