[Opensim-users] Welcome web page on V0.6.6

[Karen Palen]

Ok I understand what Grid Info does, and that works fine.

I think I need to ask a more basic question then - do I need a separate web page server like Apache or does OpenSim have one built in?

I am confused!

Here is a transcript of a conversation I had on IRC about this:

* #opensim :[freenode-info] if you're at a conference and other people are having trouble connecting, please mention it to staff: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#gettinghelp
<karen> I have a problem with the welcome screen option can anyone help?
* k\o\w has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
<Bwild_> What's the problem?
* qbist has quit (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out))
* justincc (n=justincc at 80.175.122.121) has joined #opensim
<karen> I want to add a welcome screen to my grid. I see th eoption to enable this in OpenSim.ini, but do I need to add a separate server like Apache?
<Bwild_> no
<Bwild_> opensim includes a http server
<karen> will the OpenSim package handle that?
<Bwild_> yes
<karen> Ah great then all I need to do is add a .jpg file and set th e.ini?
<karen> Sounds too easy LOL
<Bwild_> cat OpenSim.ini | grep  Welcome | sed -e 's/OpenSimulator/MySims/g' > OpenSim.ini_new
<Bwild_> 'mono OpenSim.exe --inifile=OpenSim.ini_new'  should do the trick
<karen> Ok I will try that thanks
<Bwild_> oh one dash
<Bwild_> not two
