[Opensim-users] Physics quit working?

Tue Feb 16 11:48:58 UTC 2010

James,
  I have no idea tbh.  If anything it was dumb luck that I found it.  I 
had just updated to the latest trunk when I discovered that physics 
weren't working on some of my sims but were fine on the newer ones I'd 
recently brought online.  The only difference in configuration between 
them (other then the database lines on OpenSim.ini) were the region 
configs.  After converting those from xml to ini the problem went away.

Thanks, :)
