i can see where the confusion lies - when you look at the OpenSim .ini
files 'opensim' is often already filled in for the db name and user.
while many people have probably gone ahead and used these values in
reverse (to name their db and user accordingly) they're really only
there to offer a default value and are not mandatory. i actually didn't
take that into consideration when i wrote the quickstart and will make
an addendum to the next release. actually there's no indication by way
of comments in the OpenSim example .ini files that these variables can
be customized.

Hi Wayne,
If you're calling the new database you just created 'osmods' then
you would use 'osmods' in the configuration files for profiles,
offline IMs, etc. You are directing those services to retrieve
the information from your new database.
Hope that helps!

Hi Jason,
Thank you for your fast reply.
I have the Diva opensim install running and I've called my
database opensim, etc etc. (all the common defaults here)
Step 1 of your quick setup instructions says to create a new
MySQL database and here is where I get confused. Let's say I
call that database osmods. When I go to modify config.php and
databaseinfo.php, where it asks for database name, do I use
opensim or osmods?
Thanks.

Wayne,
a quick response to your 2 points:
1) the names i used in the documentation are either
default values ('opensim' is the database and user name
found in the .nin file comments and has been the
convention for those comments as far back as i can
remember) or suggested values to simplify the
instructions. i personally stick with 'opensim' as the
username because i have several other databases and users
for other projects and it makes it easy for me to restrict
privileges for a user named 'opensim' to all my OpenSim
databases.
the same goes for the database name. i used 'os_services'
as an example that hopefully most people would find useful
and straightforward. feel free to use whatever names suit
your needs/environment. all that matters is that the
values you assign are reflected in the .ini files.
2) i do believe the 'profile' urls in grid-specific .ini
files NEED to be externally accessible (when running
OpenSim with outside connectivity) because other grids
will use those to handle aspects of your identity when you
do HG jumps. i don't know for sure all of the background
services that pass through those urls beyond the obvious,
but unless i'm explicitly running a closed standalone
sandbox with no grid or HG capabilities i use fully
qualified urls for the sake of consistency.
