For the moment I would be happy with a static page! There IS a file in bin called HttpServer.dll and HttpServer_Opensim.dll, but so far I have not been able to get even a static page to show up on either the Hippo viewer or the Meerkat viewer.
Both viewers show the splash pages on secondlife and osgrid so I am fairly confident about that end of things. I have tried various places for my welcome.html (a jpg with text - totally static), as well as copying the http_loginform.html in various permutations of the name! Still no joy. --- On Wed, 9/9/09, Benjamin Smekens <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Benjamin Smekens <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Opensim-users] Welcome web page on V0.6.6 > To: [email protected] > Date: Wednesday, September 9, 2009, 7:49 AM > Its quite simple, ask yourself the question > on what 'flavour' of splash page you want.
