[Opensim-users] Win 7. Opensim 0.8.1 host http not found

[Dahlia Trimble]

The "absconded by gnomes" message is the message which the simulator sends
to normal web browsers and usually means the http server in the simulator
is working. I don't use Firestorm personally, but I have seen cases in the
past where leaving off the trailing "/" character in some viewers would
prevent a login. Perhaps using http://127.0.0.1:9000/ might work better.
