Server status Locked

When I start my newly created server, it shows up in the server list but with the Locked status. I've uncommented the <unlocked/> self-closing element in eqemu_config.xml to be extra certain it's not a config issue. Still locked. There are no errors in any of the log files.

I'm using a slightly modified init script which seems to launch the processes and create PID files fine. Invoking the init script with the "status" param reports everything looks good from its perspective:

Code:

World Server                  [UP]

Query Server                  [UP]

Zone Launcher                  [UP]

Here are my logs:

Code:

root@redacted:~/eqemu# ls logs/*

I assume the "unable to read log.ini" warning is unrelated.

I've tried changing the name and shortname of the server thinking perhaps the public login server cached the locked state. Didn't fix it either.

I feel like I've come so close! I'm running out of ideas to try to fix this. Can anyone spot the mistake?

Thanks

Servers always show up as locked at first. Does it stay saying locked for more than like 5 mins?

Yeah, it definitely stays locked after 5 minutes of waiting.

Here is my eqemu_config.xml file.

One of the modifications I made to the init script was to send all output to STDOUT / STDERR instead of /dev/null. I do notice now a few things that may be a problem from its initialization output:

Code:

~/eqemu# ./Bin/initscript2.sh start

The server is mostly ready... Give it a couple of minutes

to load stuff from the database before the users start logging in.

Curiously, on the server list page I did see the server show up as "Pending" instead of locked briefly.

I also created a Worldserver account (using the same eqemulator account as this forum account) and specified its username and password in the <loginserver> section. The details for the server can now be viewed in on server list page (so I know it's associated properly) but it doesn't resolve the Locked status issue either.

And BTW, I'm using Ubuntu:

Code:

root@redacted:~/eqemu# uname -a

Linux [redacted] 3.5.0-17-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9 19:31:23 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

EDIT: Server has been up 15+ minutes. Still Locked.

Looks like you don't have any of the client opcode files in your server root.

Looks like that was definitely an issue I had to fix. I was assuming that eqemu would find the files automatically in the place they are in the repo:

Code:

root@redacted:~/eqemu# find . -name 'patch_*' | grep -v EQExtractor2

./utils/patches/patch_6.2.conf

./utils/patches/patch_SoF.conf

./utils/patches/patch_SoD.conf

./utils/patches/patch_RoF.conf

./utils/patches/patch_Titanium.conf

./utils/patches/patch_Underfoot.conf

Copying all utils/patches/patch_* files to the base eqemu directory got rid of that error. Thanks!

The server is still listed as Locked even after I copied these files and restarted the daemon. However, I'm now able to connect to it with Titanium and Underfoot clients and create a character -- kinda. When I finalize the creation, it says Entering Mines of Gloomingdeep, pauses for 10-20 seconds, and then pops up 2 error boxes simultaneously atop the character creation screen that say:

"Your personalized tutorial is still loading. Please click Enter World again in a few seconds."

... and ...

"That zone is unavailable."

Waiting even a few minutes doesn't seem to allow me to zone in.

This appears in the log:

Code:

[12.22. - 23:07:18] Start zone query: SELECT x,y,z,heading,zone_id,bind_id FROM start_zones WHERE player_choice=10 AND player_class=14 AND player_deity=396 AND player_race=5



[12.22. - 23:07:18] Found starting location in start_zones

[12.22. - 23:09:11] SoF Start zone query: SELECT x,y,z,heading,bind_id FROM start_zones WHERE zone_id=189 AND player_class=14 AND player_deity=396 AND player_race=5

For some reason, my start_zones table doesn't have records for the query that gets generated. When I run that query from the log file in a mysql shell, I get the following:

Code:

mysql> SELECT x,y,z,heading,bind_id FROM start_zones WHERE zone_id=189 AND player_class=14 AND player_deity=396 AND player_race=5;

Empty set (0.00 sec)



mysql> select * from start_zones where zone_id=189;

Empty set (0.00 sec)



mysql> select count(*) from start_zones;

+----------+

| count(*) |

+----------+

|      411 |

+----------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

The race I was creating (in this case a High Elf) has seemingly correct start_zone entries:

Code:

mysql> select distinct zone.long_name from start_zones, zone where start_zones.player_race=5 and zone.zoneidnumber = start_zones.start_zone;

+-------------------+

| long_name         |

+-------------------+

| Northern Felwithe |

| Southern Felwithe |

+-------------------+

2 rows in set (0.01 sec)

I'll dig into this a bit more tomorrow morning. If anyone has seen this issue before, I'd love to know the trick to get past this. Also, the issue with the server appearing Locked still remains.

EDIT: I should also add that I'm explicitly choosing Felwithe in the character creation screen too.

Maybe you modified start zone tables from base. I would reload defaults from PEQ database.

For the locked status, post your eqemu_config with sensitive info scrubbed.

Did this ever get resolved - I have the same issue on Ubunutu 12.04 as well.

My server shows in the public server list as 'locked' and never changes.
