Setting asset_database to "local" will store your assets in a .db sqlite database on your file system, and not in MySQL at all. If you run in grid mode, you should always set this to "grid" to avoid confusion unless you are connecting to someone else's grid and want your assets to be stored locally and not on their asset server.
I have to say I made that same mistake when first starting out with opensim and had to migrate all my assets over to my database server. Several others have made the same mistake and I've had to help them to migrate their assets too - is the local storage model really that widely used? Should it actually be the default? For standalone I'm guessing it is ignored(?), but in grid mode I've found it just causes pain and confusion.

I have MySQL running on the same system that the UGAIM servers are running on at the moment, though we want to separate some of them out... I am wondering if I set asset_database = "grid" rather than asset_database = "local" is there any performance penalty... or will it run identically if the assets are in fact local anyway? _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list Opensim-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev No virus found in this incoming message.
