[Opensim-dev] OpenSim.ini /GridCommon.ini / -inidirectory

[Michel Beauregard]

Hi Guys , thanks again  for 091 release. 

I would like to validate if this behavior is correct?
I am running two grid one for testing one for production . Those two grids are run out of the same set of binary. I run them with different configuration files using the command line. 

for exemple simA attached to gridA  uses  OpenSim.exe -inidirectory="./configA"  while simB attached to gridB uses OpenSim.exe -inidirectory="./configB"
Since opensim.ini and gridCommon.ini  are different for gridA and gridB I put all specificities in gridCommonA.ini in ./configA  directory and leave an empty gridCommon.ini in config-include so when it search this file  in the include of  GridHypergrid.ini   it does not generate an error . This way of doing allow me so far to run as many grid/simulator combination as I like from the same set of binaries. 

Now the question :   This work well checking for config show in simA or simB respectively except for [Messaging] . 

If I include the Messaging in the ./configA/GridCommonA.ini  I get this for config show Messaging which is NOT was is in GridCommonA.ini:[Messaging]
  InstantMessageModule = InstantMessageModule
  MessageTransferModule = HGMessageTransferModule
  LureModule = HGLureModule
content of GridCommonA.ini is :[Messaging]
    ;# {OfflineMessageModule} {} {Module to use for offline message storage} {OfflineMessageModule "Offline Message Module V2" *}
    OfflineMessageModule = "Offline Message Module V2"
    OfflineMessageURL = "http://192.168.2.108:7000"
    StorageProvider = OpenSim.Data.MySQL.dll
    ForwardOfflineGroupMessages = true
    ;LureModule = HGLureModule 
    ;; must be set to allow offline messaging to work.
    MuteListModule = MuteListModule
    ;MuteListURL = http://3d.gimisa.ca/Mute.php
    Gatekeeper = "${Const|BaseURL}:${Const|PublicPort}"


if I include the Messaging in the ./configA/simA.ini I get this for config show in simA now  behing correct :
 [Messaging]
  InstantMessageModule = InstantMessageModule
  MessageTransferModule = HGMessageTransferModule
  LureModule = HGLureModule
  OfflineMessageModule = Offline Message Module V2
  OfflineMessageURL = http://192.168.2.108:7000
  StorageProvider = OpenSim.Data.MySQL.dll
  ForwardOfflineGroupMessages = true
  MuteListModule = MuteListModule
  Gatekeeper = http://3d.gimisa.ca:9000

Its more a question then a problem why do I have to put Messaging configuration in one file instead of an other in ./configA directory ? Should config information makes not difference where it is in  ./configA directory  as long as its somewhere.
