[Opensim-users] fixed terrain..question on updating

[Paul Fishwick]

I restarted all of the servers, and for some reason, that cleared up
the terrain problem.

On the issue of OpenSim updating procedure, I am curious as to the
appropriate method. What I have been doing so far is:

 1) For backup, copy the current opensim directory (the one that works)
 2) Rename the Copy as the one to use for the update
 3) Download the latest binary
 4) Copy the bin of #3 over the bin of #2
 5) Launch servers in the order UGAIM + OpenSim

This seems to work but I wanted to know if it is effective. Also, when 
trying
these steps by building from source instead of downloading the
binary (step 3), something wasn't working correctly and the SQL database 
was not
correctly accessed when the UserServer is launched. So, when doing this 
from source,
perhaps another method is appropriate.

For clarification, when I build from source, I use TortoiseSVN and download
using: http://opensimulator.org/svn/opensim/trunk to a new directory. I 
then <http://opensimulator.org/svn/opensim/trunk>
click on runprebuild20082008.bat and then on the C# "OpenSim" file which
launches Visual C# Express. Then, I right click on OpenSim and Build.
