[Opensim-users] Problem with tp to one of my var regions

Fri Aug 11 23:05:03 UTC 2017

Hey,
It may be the version of opensim your using. I find with the version of 0.9
we are using on our grid, Teleport from outside to  a region will get you
on the region landing spot nearly every time,  Click on the map will not
even override this,  But with inside a region it does not over ride it. But
if your consider an admin at the time of teleport you will override this
landing point.  I have to go to admin mode allot if I want to teleport to
someone in a region if I am out side of it.

    We have found regions do get funky after a period of running, and we do
a rolling restart on the region to keep them cleaned up.  And the biggest
issue is unable to TP in or out of a region when this happens.  Been
looking at the cause for a long time, only thing I can come up with is the
region thinks it connected and it is not.  What causes this I am a ta loss,
I no expert at mono or even .net to guess where the problem can be. So the
easiest solution is the rolling restarts.

And it happens with Var regions and single region all alike. And it happen
even with regions with no traffic.

David.
