I have to agree. The thought was that the new ini file setup would be easier but I find it really awkward. I've had cases where an update (yes, on tip, I'm not running this in production) would break and it usually takes some scouring through ini files to figure out what new change needs to be comprehended. And the doco on the wiki lags so much behind it's really not a help.<br>
<br>
I'd just second the request for a bit more doco at least in this area. It's a real barrier to trying to track newer releases.<br>

Subject: [Opensim-dev] Opensim.ini and the various config files<br>
<br>
Just to feed back on a bit of experience.. that may be worth bearing<br>
in mind for our user base.<br>
<br>
We have had an Opensim setup for about 2 years - initially<br>
standalone, then grid, then standalone multi-region and grid<br>
multi-region for last year or so. Its been working fine when I<br>
regularly updated it every few weeks, which I did up to march this<br>
year. I could stay on top of the various changes to config file and<br>
the now VERY complex Opensim.ini, XCML config files, changing region<br>
XML file content, and opensim.exe parameters that were needed by<br>
keeping abreast of the blogs and dev mailing list (especially<br>
Justincc'e weekly blog is most helpful for this).<br>
<br>
I tried once or twice about 2 months ago to see if I could update the<br>
old system, but only managed to break it. with the User server now<br>
stopping whenever I connect the SL viewer to iot fop all users on all<br>
home and last locations I have tested. I cannot see why that is<br>
happening but decided to move on and get a NEW clean system and the<br>
reimport the saved OARs we have for the old content.<br>
<br>
So, I just returned to try to get an up to date Opensim setup (using<br>
the 0.6.6 post fixes version) as a base. I got a SQLLite standalone<br>
working - though the master avatar wsa just a cloud. is that normal?<br>
<br>
But trying to get a grid MySQL version back is proving hard. I just<br>
spent an hour looking at the LONG Opensim.ini to see if I can spot<br>
new things I need, and see the even more complicated [Architecture]<br>
section at the end, which I guess I will have to work out and could<br>
be the cause of the problems, as it seems to need changes fro grid versions.<br>
<br>
But its proving REALLY difficult. The Opensim.ini is now really<br>
really complicated, and after 2 pretty much solid days of work, I<br>
cannot get a grid setup to run on a single machine running UGAIM and<br>
ONE region.. never mind the 12 we used to run.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have some recent instructions on setting up in GRID mode<br>
on a single server for MySQL and a working Opensim.ini and any other<br>
config files I can copy and adapt to get this going? Or general<br>
advice if everyone is having similar problems with 0.6.6? I think I<br>
have te UGAIM XML config files in good shape, as I deliberately<br>
generated them afresh using the prompts the servers run through at<br>
initial start up time, as I did not trust my old XML config files ot<br>
be up to date.<br>
<br>
Any pointers much appreciates so I can make quicker progress.<br>
<br>
----------------------<br>
<br>
This also means upgrades are presumably out of the question at this<br>
stage of rapid developments in Opensim? is that the experience or are<br>
you all managing to upgrade still with the old upgrade instuctions of:<br>
<br>
a) copy over the UGAIM XML config files (and region_settings.xml if<br>
its customiszed)<br>
b) insert your required changes in a NEW opensim.ini ecah time<br>
c) copy your region xml files into the regions folder<br>
