[Opensim-users] Region not part of an estate

[Gwyneth Llewelyn]

Dear Wayne,

I get this error when launching a home-based region to connect with a server-based grid. The home-based region is connecting to an external MySQL database, and I get this error sometimes.

Why? Apparently what happens is that DynDNS is sometimes slow in updating the IP address for my home connection. When that happens, the MySQL database, which is configured to accept connections from a very limited number of hosts, will reject the connection. I get this "Region XXX is not part of an estate" when that happens: the regions.ini file gets launched, but the first connection call to MySQL is to check if that region is part of an Estate, and when that request fails, OpenSim crashes.

I'm not sure if that's the same problem you have, but it could jusy be related to that: your OpenSim is not being able to connect to the database. Check the login, the password, the database name, and if your IP address is allowed to connect to MySQL (even if everything is run locally on your machine, it still requires permission to connect to "localhost").

	- Gwyn
