[Opensim-users] Help: No Connector defined in section Friends, or failed to load, cannot continue

[Clive Gould]

Hi

I have just done a fresh standalone install of opensim-0.7.0.2-source and
whatever I do cannot get beyond the following error message when starting
OpenSim:

"No Connector defined in section Friends, or failed to load, cannot
continue"

I have checked all the configuration files. On searching the Web it appears
that others have had this problem, but there don't appear to be any
solutions.

I have tried adding the Friends section at the end of OpenSim.ini and have
tried both Connector options below without success:

[Friends]
    ; The port the friendslist interregion comms will listen on
    ; Defaults to the simulator's TCP port
    ;Port = 0
    ; Uncomment one of the lines below. Use FriendsService for local
    ; operation, Connectors for remote operation
      Connector = "OpenSim.Services.FriendsService.dll"
    ; Connector = "OpenSim.Services.Connectors.dll"

I am working with CentOS 5 Linux using mysql-5.1.55-1 and php-5.3.5-1

Has anyone come across this and found a solution please?

Thanks very much

Clive
