[Opensim-users] Region not part of an estate

[Justin Clark-Casey]

At this stage it starts to sound more like a config issue than anything else.

Are you using an old config or adapting one from the release?  If you are using an old config I recommend you try 
starting from fresh .example files - reusing old configs is known to cause problems in some situations.
