[Opensim-dev] Crash on HEAD during startup

[diva at metaverseink.com]

Mike,

Please see the bottom of the new OpenSim.ini.example and follow the 
instructions there.

The switch to the new architecture described here 
(http://opensimulator.org/wiki/OpenSim_Services_and_Service_Connectors)
will be visible to OpenSim users in exactly this: the configuration.

People can't just reuse their old OpenSim.ini; there is a discontinuity 
in the way things are configured. Config includes enable much more 
powerful ways of pre-packaging configurations, so we can really make 
things a lot simpler, not just in the services area but all over. We've 
just started to scratch the surface.

Hopefully by the time we're done with this, the switch to the new "modus 
configurandi" will be really easy, and there won't be any major issues 
for most people. For now, we're not there yet, so people in head need to 
pay attention to configuration issues.

This is an important part of planning the switch for the new services 
architecture (point (4) on my email 
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/opensim-dev/2009-May/006539.html), 
assuming there is a general agreement that the architecture itself is a 
good thing (point (3) on that email). The discussion (point (2)) is 
still open.
