[Opensim-users] login failing on fresh install w/ two distros

[CiderJack]

Issues had arisen with two of the regions in a 4-region standalone no 
longer loading. Every bootup of OS was asking for region name, uuid, 
whether to join the estate, etc. then loading default pinheads on the SW 
& NE regions, while loading the other two correctly. (disclosure: I had 
been playing with region settings extensively so probably something I 
changed that I didn't un-change). So I deleted the entire OpenSim 
0.8.0.3 folder and database, then recreated the database and 
reinstalled. This is where the fun begins

After reinstalling regular OpenSim 0.8.0.3, logging in doesn't pass the 
'handshake' portion. No errors on console. Then I am offered the choice 
to read chat or teleport (or close), and Teleport is chosen. Immediately 
notified that I am 'unable to authenticate'.

Console says salted hashes do not match. Maybe I typed in the wrong 
password when setting up, so I reinstall (including dropping & creating 
new database) but the issue persists.

A project I had been working on was (fortunately) saved to an oar file, 
and was needing more work. In a separate folder with a separate database 
the latest Diva Distro is then installed.

I am inworld for an hour or so, then get called away. An oar file is 
saved and the simulator & the server shut down. About an hour later they 
are both started up again, but I am unable to log in. The same issue 
that was happening with plain OS has now occurred with the most recent 
Diva Distro.

Through all of this I am using Singularity 1.8.6. I then tried 
Imprudence 1.3.2 (the only other viewer I have installed). This goes 
only slightly differently.

The first part is the same - can't get past handshake. The console shows 
no errors or suggestions of potential issues. The second half is 
different - when choosing 'Teleport', Imprudence immediately crashes. 
Nothing (zilch) is registered on the console.

Also tried from another terminal on the network. Exactly the same.

TL;DR: OpenSim can't get handshake (getting this far implies 
authentication worked I think?) then asks 'View Chat/Close/Teleport' and 
then says 'unable to authenticate avatar'. D2 worked fine on first run, 
but now does the same thing.

Open for suggestions :)
