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

[Karen Palen]

For the moment I would be happy with a static page!

There IS a file in bin called HttpServer.dll and HttpServer_Opensim.dll,
but so far I have not been able to get even a static page to show up on either the Hippo viewer or the Meerkat viewer.

Both viewers show the splash pages on secondlife and osgrid so I am fairly confident about that end of things.

I have tried various places for my welcome.html (a jpg with text - totally static), as well as copying the http_loginform.html in various permutations of the name!

Still no joy.
