I'm attempting to upgrade our OpenSIM server from version 0.68 to 0.72. First, I've followed instructions on how to backup and restore resources from here: http://www.osgrid.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1791I've made modified scripts that essentially do the same job. I then copy my "Regions.ini" file to the new version and either copy my old "Opensim.ini" file in OR add the following lines in the database section (commenting out the SQLlite versions): torage_plugin="OpenSim.Data.MySQL.dll" storage_connection_string="Data Source=localhost;Database=opensim;User ID=*****;Password=****************;"; When I first run Opensim, it then throws a fit because all of the prims are missing. I then run the "restore.txt" script to restore the assets. The problem is I can't log in. I check MySQL and the database is still there with the user table, but I don't think the new version of OpenSim is accessing it. My current form of "backup" is to simply copy the entire island folder but that doesn't allow for upgrading the core software. In that way, I still have a functional version of the island in 0.68 but I'd like to know if I'm missing something in making the transition to a newer version. Thanks.
Assuming that you mean OpenSim 0.7.0.2, if you're migrating against your existing database, all you need to do is point the new installation at the existing database via the changes you're already making to storage_plugin and connection string - there's no need to backup and restore terrain or oars.
The only other thing you need to do is move your Regions.ini, as you have, and change OpenSim.ini. We suggest copying the OpenSim.ini.example in the new distribution and editing that instead, since there can be problems using an old OpenSim.ini due to new configuration parameters in later versions of OpenSim.
