The welcome page can point to any web page on the Internet, local or remote, could even be an image. The splash screen is just a web browser displaying whatever you tell it to display in that welcome section in the grid info (or using the -loginpage switch on a startup shortcut). Hence if you want to have lolcatz as your splash screen go right ahead - however if you are talking about displaying a specific web page with dynamic content then you will need to have some web server somewhere hosting it.

I think I need to ask a more basic question then - do I need a separate web page server like Apache or does OpenSim have one built in? I am confused! Here is a transcript of a conversation I had on IRC about this: * #opensim :[freenode-info] if you're at a conference and other people are having trouble connecting, please mention it to staff: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#gettinghelp <karen> I have a problem with the welcome screen option can anyone help? * k\o\w has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)) <Bwild_> What's the problem? * qbist has quit (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out)) * justincc ([email protected]) has joined #opensim <karen> I want to add a welcome screen to my grid. I see th eoption to enable this in OpenSim.ini, but do I need to add a separate server like Apache? <Bwild_> no <Bwild_> opensim includes a http server <karen> will the OpenSim package handle that? <Bwild_> yes <karen> Ah great then all I need to do is add a .jpg file and set th e.ini? <karen> Sounds too easy LOL <Bwild_> cat OpenSim.ini | grep Welcome | sed -e 's/OpenSimulator/MySims/g' > OpenSim.ini_new <Bwild_> 'mono OpenSim.exe --inifile=OpenSim.ini_new' should do the trick <karen> Ok I will try that thanks <Bwild_> oh one dash <Bwild_> not two --- On Tue, 9/8/09, Dave Coyle <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Dave Coyle <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Opensim-users] Welcome web page on V0.6.6 > To: [email protected] > Date: Tuesday, September 8, 2009, 8:24 PM > On Tuesday 08 September 2009 08:23:20 > pm Karen Palen wrote: > > Sorry I forgot to say that, I have tried both Hippo > and Meerkat > > http://mjm-labs.com/viewer/grids.php > (specifically the last section) > > > On Tuesday 08 September 2009 08:27:54 pm Karen Palen > wrote: > > Hmmm, where should I put the html file with my > opensim.ini spec. then? > > Your HTML welcome page goes on any web server.
