Its quite simple, ask yourself the question on what 'flavour' of splash page you want. Do you want something static like just a picture depicting your world, or would you like something more advanced like statistics and real-time grid information. If it is the former you are after, static html will do just fine, and OpenSim will handle this just fine in displaying it to the user(Technically speaking OpenSim does nothing more than pointing towards the html/image document). If you want the latter however, you will need a server side script collecting and displaying that data to the user, so in that case you would need a asp/php/perl-cgi equipped webserver(Which in term will interpret your OpenSim data and than display it to the user). <br>
<br>It thus becomes a case where you decide what you want and act upon your needs.<br><br><br>Regards,<br><br>Ben<br> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 10:07 PM, wallen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wallen@its.bldrdoc.gov">wallen@its.bldrdoc.gov</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Yes, I agree that this is confusing since it isn't clear whether OpenSim<br>
will serve up the splash page or not. To the best of my knowledge<br>
OpenSim will not act as a web server and provide the page for you. You<br>
will need a separate web server. At least, that was the solution that I<br>
found. When I had this problem a while back.<br>
