I got groups mostly working with the XoopenSim module located at: <a href="http://www.nsl.tuis.ac.jp/xoops/modules/xpwiki/?XoopenSim">http://www.nsl.tuis.ac.jp/xoops/modules/xpwiki/?XoopenSim</a> so there are some obvious differences in our configuration, but I remember having a weird issue when I tried to install the module that was related to using MySQL 5.x. and I also had a problem with the Profiles module that I never did solve, with a very similar error to what you're seeing:<div>

Thanks to Justin's changes, I was able to get the MySQL (5.5.16)
database tables created. I have PHP installed with IIS on a Windows
2008 server (tested with a helloworld.php script). Running OpenSim
0.7.2 with the OpenSim.ini module modified to include the following:<br>
<blockquote>Groups]<br>
;# {Enabled} {} {Enable groups?} {true false} false<br>
;; Enables the groups module<br>
Enabled = true<br>
<br>
;# {Module} {Enabled:true} {Groups module to use? (Use
GroupsModule to use Flotsam/Simian)} {} Default<br>
;; This is the current groups stub in
Region.CoreModules.Avatar.Groups.<br>
;; All the other settings below only really apply to the
Flotsam/SimianGrid<br>
;; GroupsModule.<br>
;; This module can use a PHP XmlRpc server from the Flotsam
project at<br>
;; <a href="http://code.google.com/p/flotsam/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/flotsam/</a><br>
;; or from the SimianGrid project at

</blockquote>
When I attempt to create a new group, I get the following error
every time the XMLRPC-GROUPS-CONNECTOR is called.<br>
<blockquote>10:31:09 - [GROUPS]: CreateGroup called<br>

invalid. Line 1, position 1. <br>
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e)<br>
</blockquote>
The config.php file is correctly set up to point to the correct
database, with the right login and password.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
Thanks in advance<br><font color="#888888">
