Pretty much the same comment as the previous guy.

The tutorial was great, but when I got to the end, I couldn’t connect either. Like him, I tried both SecondLife and Hipo viewers.

Like him I couldn’t locate the mysql_connection file either.

I actually see that my OpenSim server is getting the Authentication request, because that shows in the console. But nothing comes after that, and it doesn’t connect.

Great Tut!

I have tried to connect to opensim running on my machine several times in the last couple of days. I’ve done everything from installing binaries from the opensim website to building from source. Yours was the last I followed. Every time I have got the server up and running, all looks good until I try to connect, then I get the “Despite our best efforts, something unexpected has gone wrong.”

I have used the SL viewer and Hippo viewer, and both show the same error. I am using OpenSim 0.6.0.7275 on Vista, and it is run as Admin.

The only deviance I made from your tut was the configuring of mysql_connection.ini. I could not find an example file with the build, and assume it’s no longer needed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry guys but how do you “uncomment” and “comment” and yes, it would be nice if someone could upload the opensim.ini file. I’m totally confused, should it be:

storage_plugin = “OpenSim.Data.MySQL.dll”
storage_connection_string = “Data Source=localhost;Database=opensim;User ID=[enter]root;Password=[enter];”;

as in the tutorial, or:

storage_plugin = OpenSim.Data.MySQL.dll
storage_connection_string = Data Source=localhost;Database=opensim;User ID=[enter];Password=[enter];;

????

Thank you in advance for your help

Thankyou, I am up and running.. Yay!

I had to do the opensim.ini a couple of times forgot to uncomment and comment .. Ended up searching for every instance of mysql in opensim.ini and then all was good.

I am using a Wamp Install with phpadmin, mysql and opensim-0.5.11-TRUNK.zip and Vista

I am standing on a little island very excited….

Hi, its a very good tutorial, but i cant seem to make it work. As soon as i try to run Opensim.exe i get a critical error… Can anyone upload the OpenSim.ini file? Maybe i messed up there, but i did exactly as you said.

Any tips?

thx
