[Opensim-users] Region not part of an estate

[Wayne]

Thank you Fleep and Gwyn for your time in helping me out.

To date, I've tried everything short of reformatting the hard drive -
nothing seems to work. When I start the simulator, it totally skips the
message to create an estate. Then, if I try to create a region, it crashes
saying that the region does not belong to an estate. A very frustrating
"catch 22" experience.

If I get a solution, I will be sure to post for others who may run into
this in the future.
