If you do modifications to opensim.ini or gridcommon.ini you have to do them
again manually every time the syntax or disposition of those file changes or
every time a new version is out of OpenSim or OSGrid. As it is easy to make
small mistakes that is a quite common source of problems.
My idea is to use two set of files instead. opensim.ini contains the current
standard settings and personal.ini (just as an example) contains the few lines
with my personal changes of the settings in opensim.ini. The only line needed
to set in opensim.ini is the path to the directory where personal.ini,
regions.ini and personal_grid.ini is located.
After opensim.ini is read the personal.ini is read and the few changed settings
are performed. The same way for gridcommon.ini and personal_grid.ini for the
database settings.
This makes it much easier to update the version of the sim. Just rename the old
bin and option directories, unpack the new file and edit that one line with the
path to settings directory. Done!
Hopefully that will mean that more people will keep their sims up to date and
that will improve the general impression of the grids.
