[Opensim-users] Still trying to set up groups - progress and problems

Kurt,

I followed the instructions at
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Enabling_Groups and
successfully installed the module and got groups working with Windows
Server 2008 and IIS.

I discovered that the problems I was having initially were due to my MySQL
database using the utf8 character set.  When I reinstalled the database
using the latin1 character set, the module installed with no problem.

Hope that helps!

- Chris/Fleep
