[Opensim-dev] New configuration capabilities (James Hughes)

[Dev Random]

This is an especially useful approach for spinning up template-based grids
for testing concepts, etc.   I use a setup similar to this, but with
Environment variables set from a launch script.  It will be nice to be able
to move some of the config items into the ini files.  Here's some of the
places I use this approach:

e.g. Robust.ini

[Environment]
  GRID_NICK=""       ; should be set by shell script
  GRID_NAME=""       ; should be set by shell script
  OPENSIM_HOME=""    ; should be set by shell script
  ROBUST_DATABASE="" ; should be set by shell script
  ROBUST_USERNAME="" ; should be set by shell script
  ROBUST_PASSWORD="" ; should be set by shell script

[Startup]
  PIDFile = "${Environment|OPENSIM_HOME}/Custom/Work/ROBUST/Robust.exe.pid"

[DatabaseService]
  ConnectionString = "Data
Source=localhost;Database=${Environment|ROBUST_DATABASE};User
ID=${Environment|ROBUST_USERNAME};Password=${Environment|ROBUST_PASSWORD};Old
Guids=true;"

[LoginService]
  WelcomeMessage = "Welcome to ${Environment|GRID_NICK}"


e.g. a Region.ini

[Environment]
  GRID_NICK=""        ; should be set by shell script
  GRID_NAME=""        ; should be set by shell script
  OPENSIM_HOME=""     ; should be set by shell script
  REGION_DATABASE=""  ; should be set by shell script
  REGION_USERNAME=""  ; should be set by shell script
  REGION_PASSWORD ="" ; should be set by shell script
  ESTATE_DATABASE=""  ; should be set by shell script
  ESTATE_USERNAME=""  ; should be set by shell script
  ESTATE_PASSWORD ="" ; should be set by shell script
  SIM_NAME=""         ; should be set by shell script
  ROBUST_SERVER=""    ; should be set by shell script

[Startup]
  PIDFile =
"${Environment|OPENSIM_HOME}/Custom/Work/${Environment|SIM_NAME}/OpenSim.pid"

regionload_regionsdir="${Environment|OPENSIM_HOME}/Custom/GridConfig/${Environment|SIM_NAME}/Regions"

[AssetService]
  AssetServerURI = "http://${Environment|ROBUST_SERVER}:8003"

[DatabaseService]
  ConnectionString = "Data
Source=localhost;Database=${Environment|REGION_DATABASE};User
ID=${Environment|REGION_USERNAME};Password=${Environment|REGION_PASSWORD};Old
Guids=true;"
  EstateConnectionString = "Data
Source=localhost;Database=${Environment|ESTATE_DATABASE};User
ID=${Environment|ESTATE_USERNAME};Password=${Environment|ESTATE_PASSWORD};Old
Guids=true;"
