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

[Karen Palen]

I have to admit that installing Apache and setting it up would be far less work LOL.

HMM - I didn't even know about the grid server folder!

Sadly it didn't help, but I will try a couple of permutations.

My main motivation at this point is wondering if OpenSim has this capability or not. 

With Ubuntu I know that installing the latest version of Apache is a matter of about a dozen keystrokes (I have it running on another machine), but it could simplify file and process management later.

Eventually I expect to move this whole project to a remote VPS hosting service using Ubuntu/SSL remote login, but I want things pretty solid before I add the extra complexity.

Right now I am just having fun with standalone :-)

Anyway thanks for the pointer to the folder, I will let everyone know if I do get it working.
