OpenSim does not actually function properly without an asset cache. It will 
appear to function, the simulator will run and many things will work, but you 
will run into subtle bugs that are difficult to track down such as avatar bakes 
being deleted on upload. In my opinion OpenSim should fail to start without a 
cache configured, but for now just make sure you always have one enabled.

Subject: [Opensim-dev] Minor suggestion for config-include example files for 
0.7 standalone

I have been tensing the setup process for a brand new 00.7 standalone... and 
have a small suggestion... the current StandaloneCommon.ini.example sets up for 
one cache setup - choosing CenomeCache. This means one extra step to get a very 
basic system up and running... by also copying CenomeCache.ini.example to 
CenomeCache.ini.  It is possible to have no cache mechanism chosen and this 
would save that extra step on an initial setup.

Can I suggest that the 2 lines in the [Modules] section are commented out by 
default, leaving no cache mechanism as the initial choice.  A user would then 
sensibly choose the cache they wish to use as an extra and thus be aware they 
need to also copy the relevant example file in config-include.  I.e. as 
follows...


[Modules]
     ;; Choose 0 or 1 cache modules, and the corresponding config file, if it 
exists.
     ;; Copy the config .example file into your own .ini file and change 
configs there

     ;AssetCaching = "GlynnTuckerAssetCache"

     ;AssetCaching = "FlotsamAssetCache"
     ;Include-FlotsamCache = "config-include/FlotsamCache.ini"

     ; AssetCaching = "CenomeMemoryAssetCache"
     ; Include-CenomeCache = "config-include/CenomeCache.ini"

     ;; Enable this to use Freeswitch on a standalone
     ;FreeswitchServiceInConnector = True
