  • Try running the VS2005 C#. You are probably running VS2005 C++. This is a C# project.

I cannot start my sim

I start the sim and it doesn't connect

When OpenSim is first started, it needs configuration.

I start the OpenSim.Grid.UserServer.exe and it errors

If this error is access denied for username@localhost, the mysql database is not set up.

I cannot connect to my OpenSim

I connect but cannot move

If the client connects but the avatar can only spin in place and not move, then the sim is not correctly configured. It completed the initial login function, but packets are not being exchanged between the client and the sim, probably due to a network configuration error on the sim.

Can I teleport from the Linden Lab Second Life grid to my Sim?

No, OpenSim islands cannot connect to the Linden Lab grid.
