== OpenSimulator simulator configuration file ==
The region simulator configuration is managed using a file called OpenSim.ini. This file is used regardless of whether the sim is running in standalone or grid mode. This file references some additional configuration information from the config-include/ directory. Information about the various settings is contained in the OpenSim.ini file itself (or OpenSim.ini.example for reference).

It is also possible to distribute the inifile settings over two files. This is useful if you want to run several OpenSimulator processes where most of your settings are identical except for a few. The master file is read first, then the inifile is read. Settings given in the inifile overrule settings given in the master file. The master file has the same format and the same keywords as the inifile, so the same documentation applies.

Opensimulator supports the following database engines. Information about setting these up can be found in the OpenSim.ini.example file and the other various example files in bin/config-include.  '''If you do not want to use the default SQLite configuration then you will need to setup your database before proceeding further'''.  SQLite does not require further configuration.  See [[Database Settings]] for the detailed settings.

* '''SQLite''' (default) - a lightweight database that comes bundled with OpenSimulator and can be used without requiring any extra configuration. It is mostly intended to get you up and running quickly, not for production use. It is significantly slower than MySQL. A few features here (such as attachment persistence) have not yet been fully implemented.

Running in grid mode is more complicated than running in standalone mode. It requires an understanding of UUID, X,Y location, server handshake passwords, estates and estate owners, and a couple of other settings. These require more care and patience to set up. We strongly recommend that you don't attempt this unless you are extremely patient and very technically proficient.
