[Opensim-users] Noobi question.

Thu Oct 8 01:56:24 UTC 2009

well I did it....   got logged in finally....  one pointer I can offer that did the final trick for me....  make sure that in the /Regions/Regions.ini file your internal address is set to 0.0.0.0  and make absolutely sure our external address is the IP address of your server INSIDE your firewall/router.  I saw on one of the WIki pages that it should be set to your routers external address if you plan to access it from the outside.  This is incorrect and you create a looping issue if you do.  This will cause your viewer to freeze at region handshake.

The other thing I noticed is that you Come up Ruthed.  and no way to edit your appearance.   what you have to do is go to body parts and create a shape, right click and edit...  then go through each body item and move the slider slightly.  and then save.  you will have to do that with pants and shirt also.  once your done you should be a real live Avitar.  It seems strange, but there is items in the asset directory

Ok Now I'm hooked, this is fun having a place all to myself.   Still have some issues to work through...  SLS isn't working, and I can't do video

One thing I noticed....  what I wanted to do was creat seperate databases for Inventory/assets/estates/users.... right now I have it all in one database an its working.   so all my connect strings are correct...  Opensim built the tables that it needed.  so I shutdown Opensim   Deleted ALL the tables...  created a new database called opensiminv and granted all permissions from my existing opensim user... updated the inventory connect string so it pointed to this database. and restart Opensim....  it created all the tables in the "Default" database and creates a table called migrate in the inventory database, and then complains that it cant find an inventory table and halts.  If I check the database, the table its looking for is in the default database, yet it seems to be looking in the inventory database.  Have I found a bug?  sould I attempt to move the inventory tables to the inventory database.   Just as an extra, it does the same thing for the asset
 inventory and estate databases if I do the same procedure.  What it seems to me is the routine that populates the tables in the database is only looking at one database.

It is long, but I think you will find it quite well organized. The documentation is ambiguous in spots too, but Google helps. There are tutorials and "hint" files all over the web!

My strategy has been to update the Wiki as I figure out something and get it working. That way I help everyone as well as having good (updated!) notes the next time I run into an issue.

I am a Ubuntu user (only 8 mos on Linux), so I haven't done a lot of "distro surfing" yet. All the same you should find a lot of helpful info on the Wiki, and of course more detail and corrections are always welcome!
