67== Configuring OpenSim ==
68
69When OpenSim starts for the first time, you will be prompted with a
70series of questions that look something like:
71
72[09-17 03:54:40] DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Simulator Name [OpenSim Test]:
73
74At each of these you must provide you own value or just hit enter to
75take the default (in this case "OpenSim Test").
76
77YOUR SIM WILL NOT BE STARTED UNTIL YOU ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS
78
79Once you are presented with a prompt that looks like:
80
81 Region# :
82
83You have successfully started OpenSim.
84
85== Connecting to your OpenSim ==
86
87By default your sim will be running on http://127.0.0.1:9000. To use
88your OpenSim add -loginuri http://127.0.0.1:9000 to your second life
89client (running on the same machine as your OpenSim).
