[Opensim-dev] OpenSim.ini /GridCommon.ini / -inidirectory (Michel Beauregard)

[Fred Beckhusen]

My guess is your Opensim.ini, which loads after your GridCommonA.ini, is 
overriding the defaults you think you are setting. I would follow the 
chain of includes and look in Opensim.ini at the [Messaging] Section

I do something similar in Dreamgrid for single folder and single exe 
use. I relocate Opensim.ini into the region folder, along with logs so 
they are specific to each Instance.  I do not change GridCommon.ini, as 
I use Opensim.ini for the [Messaging] and other changes per Instance, as 
it can override any other parameter previously set.

Minor note: There is no need for an empty gridCommon.ini in 
config-include as you can edit the include out of GridHypergrid.ini. But 
your method works, too.

Multiple instances of Opensim cannot share the same Logger.   So 
OpenSim.exe.config is changed to add ${OSIM_LOGPATH},  a log path 
environment variable, per the Opensimulator wiki, so I can relocate the 
log files to specific Region folders.  This is the only file that 
Opensim could overwrite on an update of the opensim code  - everything 
else is stock Opensim.

<appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
       <file value="${OSIM_LOGPATH}\OpenSim.log" />

...

A batch file (Windows) than sets the name of the sim for command line mode:

@echo Loading %1
cd bin
set SimName=%1
set OSIM_LOGPATH = "%~dp0\bin\Regions\%SimName%"
@echo OpenSim.exe -inidirectory="./Regions/%SimName%"
OpenSim.exe -inidirectory="Regions/%SimName%"
@rem cd ..
echo %SimName% has exited.
