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

[Unadecal Arado]

Hello CiderJack,

You sound like a seasoned Opensim user, but we need to go over the basics.
Please go through this check list and make sure that these usual suspects
are not the culprit

Check Opensim.ini and verify that you are using a unique http_listener_port
for each instance of opensim.exe and that their are within the range which
your router forwards to your server.
Check your regions.ini file and verify that the UUIDs are unique a
correspond to the ones you wish to assign to each region.
Verify that InternalPorts are all unique and within the forwarding range.
Problems with region ports are not reported and usually result in erratic
and unpredictable behaviour.
Verify that the InternalAdress is set to 0.0.0.0 for all regions.
Verify that the ExternalHostName is set correctly. The meaning of
"correctly" is dependent on your particular situation, but this is either
your router's external IP address or a dns name which resolves to your
router's external IP address. (if your simulator is accessible externally).

Without knowing more about your installation, That's where I'd start.

Regards,

Unadecal
