Thanks for this great tut. I am getting a good grasp of opensim config from you. I believe we are watching the building of something great right before our very eyes. Inter-connected Virtual Worlds have the potential along with a Semantic web to redefine the web. I personally hope 3D Virtual/Augmented Reality plays a role in Web 3.0

This could be some of the most exciting stuff I have seen on the Internet in a long time.

In the OpenSim.ini, straight double quotes rather than slanted double quotes should be used or else errors will be generated.

Thanks so much for this. You step by step has been very easy to follow.

I ran into a snag at the end here though but figured it all out and got me a Ruth.

I’m running Windows XP & .NET 3.5. Here’s a few things others can look out for:

1) Biggest one is the quotation marks. When I clicked on OpenSim.exe in the /bin folder after making the proper changes in the two files I came to the database section and got a bunch of red lines in the DOS window and then it crashed ?DataSource…. I noticed the quotation marks were the problem. retyped them and no problem.

2) After the scripts setup the database and initialize, you have to enter a few things, then you can open the SecondLife viewer via the command line instruction in the next section. The server needs to be running before you can log in.

3) When you log in with the Second Life viewer, just type your new login name and password (made in the DOS window when it all compiles) in the normal boxes, not the white boxes in the center of the screen. It worked better for me.

Just a couple points. Feel free to edit my comment bwhite.

Best
