|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
C#, and can run under Mono or the Microsoft .NET runtimes.

== Configuring OpenSim ==
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When OpenSim starts for the first time, you will be prompted with a
|
|
|
|
|
series of questions that look something like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[09-17 03:54:40] DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Simulator Name [OpenSim Test]:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At each of these you must provide you own value or just hit enter to
|
|
|
|
|
take the default (in this case "OpenSim Test").
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
YOUR SIM WILL NOT BE STARTED UNTIL YOU ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you are presented with a prompt that looks like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Region# :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You have successfully started OpenSim.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Connecting to your OpenSim ==
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default your sim will be running on http://127.0.0.1:9000. To use
|
|
|
|
|
your OpenSim add -loginuri http://127.0.0.1:9000 to your second life
|
|
|
|
|
client (running on the same machine as your OpenSim).
