[Opensim-users] Updated Services Bundle!

Fri Aug 10 18:51:25 UTC 2012

SUCCESS.

So here is what needs to be done...

Start downloading http://opensim.odosys.net/files/ — the 0.7.3 version
works well under 0.7.4RC1

Change register.php and search.php to get Search to work. All that needs to
be done is:

At the top, comment out:

//mysql_connect ($DB_HOST, $DB_USER, $DB_PASSWORD);
//mysql_select_db ($DB_NAME);

and use:

mysql_connect ($dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPassword);
mysql_select_db ($dbName);

That's it.

Now for the modules. These have been shuffled around from repository to
repository, but, until the developers change their mind again, they're now
on GitHub. For some reason, they're spread across 3 different projects.

First, get the OpenSimProfile and OpenSimSearch modules from
https://github.com/PixelTomsen/opensim-dev-external Both work quite well!
Even with the "strange" and not-entirely-compliant profile.php, this seems
not to bother the viewer and/or the simulator — they like what they get.

Extra bonus: now profiles work flawlessly across HyperGrid teleports.
Woo-hoo! And yes, IMs across HyperGrid also work, and so does teleports,
and so do friendship requests... Whew... a lot of things started working
again! Hooray!

The OMEconomy module is here:
https://github.com/PixelTomsen/omeconomy-module
This works well with the VirWox Test server, although I thought I'd be
seeing my OMC$ shown on the viewer, which doesn't really happen. But — it
might be a limitation of the "test" server.

The interesting-looking UserLog module is here:
https://github.com/PixelTomsen/opensim-userlogmodule
I couldn't get it to work (the database is in place, but somehow OpenSim is
not really caring much about it).

Groups, of course, you get from the Flotsam Cache module, all you need is
to configure it, and making sure that the os_services bundle is properly
configured. As said, even though the code is weirdly programmed, it
actually works quite well.

So that's it. I'm a happy girl. Now I don't have merely a working
environment as before, but one that even has additional functionality! Not
bad, only one week to get an upgrade.

And now I can go back to the CPU/memory performance issues —
http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6031 — which has been keeping
me busy for months. Well, weeks.

Thanks all for the many tips!
