i can see where the confusion lies - when you look at the OpenSim .ini
files 'opensim' is often already filled in for the db name and user.
while many people have probably gone ahead and used these values in
reverse (to name their db and user accordingly) they're really only
there to offer a
default value and are not mandatory. i actually didn't take that into
consideration when i wrote the quickstart and will make an addendum to
the next release. actually there's no
indication by way of comments in the OpenSim example .ini files that
these variables
can be customized.<br>

<div>Hi Wayne,</div>

If you're calling the new database you just created 'osmods' then you
would use 'osmods' in the configuration files for profiles, offline
IMs, etc. You are directing those services to retrieve the information
from your new database.

<div>Hi Jason,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for your fast reply.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have the Diva opensim install running and I've called my
database opensim, etc etc. (all the common defaults here)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Step 1 of your quick setup instructions says to create a new
MySQL database and here is where I get confused. Let's say I call that
database osmods. When I go to modify config.php and databaseinfo.php,
where it asks for database name, do I use opensim or osmods?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks.</div>

<br>
a quick response to your 2 points:<br>
<br>
1) the names i used in the documentation are either default values
('opensim' is the database and user name found in the .nin file
comments and has been the convention for those comments as far back as
i can remember) or suggested values to simplify the instructions. i
personally stick with 'opensim' as the username because i have several
other databases and users for other projects and it makes it easy for
me to restrict privileges for a user named 'opensim' to all my OpenSim
databases. <br>
<br>
the same goes for the database name. i used 'os_services' as an
example that hopefully most people would find useful and
straightforward. feel free to use whatever names suit your
needs/environment. all that matters is that the values you assign are
reflected in the .ini files.<br>
<br>
2) i do believe the 'profile' urls in grid-specific .ini files NEED to
be externally accessible (when running OpenSim with outside
connectivity) because other grids will use those to handle aspects of
your identity when you do HG jumps. i don't know for sure all of the
background services that pass through those urls beyond the obvious,
but unless i'm explicitly running a closed standalone sandbox with no
grid or HG capabilities i use fully qualified urls for the sake of
consistency.<br>
