Issues - Online - RC3 2/2/2011

Foto50 wrote on the diffs between the standalone/grid mode install concerning the back-end online status and how it was written to work in JOpenSim in the current release.

In short, the fix for standalone os installs and where JOpenSim is pulling the information from, is to add the below.

/bin/config-include/StandaloneCommon.ini
----
[PresenceService]
LocalServiceModule = \"OpenSim.Services.PresenceService.dll:PresenceService\"
StorageProvider = \"OpenSim.Data.MySQL.dll\"
ConnectionString = \"Data Source=localhost;Database=dbname;User ID=dbuser;Password=dbpass; pooling=false; port=3306;\"
---
This also fixed the issues with standalone \"Friends Online\" module as this too is now querying the Presence table info. I updated this posting as old versions were quite different and the new release does indeed install the Presence table. So the above resolves the issues. Good news.

Groups

I\'ll keep my possible bug finds for the latest rev here in this thread. Concerning the groups implementation, I am seeing issues on this end with group flags. When attempting to deed objects as group/land owner, I noticed that the group roles were not as needed to do so. Default group owner flags were not correct. When creating a new role, I found that this too was not correct and that those flags were not being rendered active/inactive as needed per permission and role function. A side by side comparison of Flotsam and JOpenSim reveals that indeed there are issues/differences with the default group flags and how they affect the permissions. At least on this end. <img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"Smile\" />

When comparing the databases side-by-side, I notice that the numerical ordering for the flags appeared correct.

This may or not appear as I see it here on your end, but on this end, the JOpenSim groups implementation is effectively broken in the latest revision unless I broke it myself. <img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"Smile\" /> Which does tend to happen more than it should <img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"Embarrassed\" /> .

The same groups module was used for both Flotsam and JOpenSim interface implementations, it would appear that the issues are within the php interface code. I\'ll do another install or so to make sure this can be replicated as I see no one else has reported on this. If anyone else sees issues with groups, please do post what you are witnessing. Even an \"I cannot deed a prim to group owned land\" would be helpful. Or if you can and it\'s working for you, this too would be helpful.

Another concern is that it appears that some of the other Flotsam configuration variables were not provided for use with the JOpenSim interface.php implementation. This will need evaluated as to if the function(s) are being included in the interface.php and what setting was given for those that the Flotsam config variables provided for.

Yeah i now turned back to RC2.. works very good.. only i lost all my groups.
Its for a good cause <img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"Wink\" /> so np..

what also see sometimes, is a message cannot fetch profile data.

Hi Samuel,

Thank you for posting. I never know if I am seeing things or if what I am seeing is reality in code sometimes. Thank you for the clarification and posting what issues you find.

Sometimes the profile fetching seems to be a timeout as I too have experienced the console complaining about such time in which it takes to fetch the profiles. So you too are not alone in that venture either <img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"Smile\" /> . Another issue with the profile implementation is the fact that the profile picks is not displaying the correct string at the bottom. Example: Unknown, Unknown, Marius - (PG) (127, 138, 22), should look like \"MyAvatar, Name of Land, Marius - (PG) (127, 138, 22)\". it doesn\'t break anything, but it would sure be nice if it worked and very well could be the reason for the slow connection and timeout warnings as profiles is trying to populate the \"Unknowns\" and cannot do so. This is more an issue with the module itself I am pretty sure. And of course a working Classifieds would be nice as well. Even with a working ossearch, classifieds need work.

Thanks again for your post. Sorry you lost your groups, I did too and had to re-deed 62 sims to various different groups and re-deed countless prims to get my MRM, radios, and other scripts working again. I had the backups sql\'s from a prior installation but it too had issues and wasn\'t worth manually editing the db for. No fun at all but it\'s part of the debugging. Things happen. <img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"Wink\" />
