I try the demo for SFS 1.X ,but no success.
I want to do cluster for SFS 2. How to write the config files? What's the step I should follow?
Thank you very much.

A white-paper for SFS2X is not yet available, but the same approach used for SFS 1 (see here) can be applied.

Also please read this discussion:

I'm using Distributed Ehcache and Terracotta toolkit for sending/receiving messages. All works fine, but in this approach you should write your own Buddy system, Ban system, Room system, Public/Private Messages,.. huge part of SmartFox embedded features.

Unfortunately Clustering is not easy :)
It's really one of the most complex topic of networking.
We could go ahead and try to make it simpler by hiding a lot of the aforementioned complexity... this would result in an apparent easy way to create clusters.

The bad news is that if you don't have a clear and deep understanding of what is going on behind the scenes you will never be able to make it scale and perform in an optimal way thus failing at the very core of the issue you want to solve.

We highly recommend to go back to the discussion we pointed to. There are easier ways to cluster game servers (and we explain which ones) and more complex ones (like Terracotta Clustering). Choosing the proper solution depends alot on your skills, expertise, budget etc...

Hope it helps
