Setting up the third party User Profile module for OpenSimulator

 

 

Obtaining the osprofile code, module and supporting components:

svn checkout --username developername http://forge.opensimulator.org/svn/osprofile

 

SQL scripts for the MySQL server to update the database schemae are found at osprofile/trunk/webroot/sql

 

Module binary is in osprofile/trunk/bin

 

PHP scripts are in osprofile/webroot

 

Example configs for regions and for HG Robust are in osprofile/trunk/OpenSimProfile/

 

Source/build files are found in osprofile/trunk/OpenSimProfile. These are not required for simple installations.

 

 

1. Configure database access for opensim's SQL user on the new osprofile database.

 

2. use readily available mysql client to update database schemae using the scripts provided. This is accomplished by using the script execution feature of the mysql client,

the method for which will vary depending upon the client used. Protip: use a familiar mysql client or consult the documentation for your client beforehand.

NOTE that the 'update' scripts are for use in updating a pre-existing user profile service.

 

3. copy or move the binary to the opensim bin directory for the simulator where profile services are being installed.

 

4. update configuration files as per the provided examples.

 

5. create a subfolder in the web root of your apache server to host the service's PHP XmlRpc support (you do have an apache/PHP stack installed and operational amirite)

NOTE that if you are installing on an MPM apache server on a *nix box, this will likely involve establishing a virtual host configuration complete the installation of this web component

 

6. restart the newly configured simulator(s)

 

7. test
