[Opensim-users] Problems with StandAlone and Grid Mode

[matt raffel]

What version of mysql did you download?    I have and am using 
5.0.67-community-nt in Windows XP.

Did you use the MySql Server Configuration tool (installed with my 
version)? 

I pretty much followed the directions on http://opensimulator.org/wiki 
and it worked.   The only thing I had to do manually (and I think this 
was in the wiki) was create my user (opensim) and create an empty 
database (which i also called openim)
