[Opensim-users] Opensim Reliable Upgrade Instructions

[Ai Austin]

I have been trying to use the update procedure again with an upgrade 
of a standalone setup with 13 regions all using SQLite from 
1-Jul-2008 version to 15-Jul-2008 version from the nightly builds at 
http://opensim.be/build/

Its REASONABLY successful.  Step 4 seems NOT to be needed.  The 
regions and their terrain for the 13 regions was all present and 
correct without doing step 4.  The regions, objects on them and the 
avatars are all present and correct.  BUT ALL avatars have lost their 
inventory.

Any thoughts on what files I must also copy over or change, or what I 
might be doing wrong?  Any help appreciated top debug the 
instructions for updating a working Opensim installation to a later 
build.  I am sure others are doing this without the problems I seem 
to be having as I can see their working systems.

I am also trying to debug the process for a grid version update.. but 
fro the moment this is a question for a standalone system update.
