Stuck on Debian Install Guide ./start

[thepoetwarrior]

I've spent a few hours today slowly going thru the Debian Install Guide with no problem, but I got stuck after making the start, stop, and persist_world on

http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...ianLinuxServer

Do I need eqemu_config.xml like on Windows server?

In the start file, does P=`pwd` need to change or anything else need change? Like database names or passwords?

I didn't see a place for local IP, not that I'd know how to obtain my local IP on debian, which Im sure I can google that one.

Some help would be appreciated. Thanks

Oh, added note, the problem when I type ./start from the appropiate path results in the error:

-su: ./start: Permission denied

You probably just need to flag it as executable:

chmod +x start

Yup, didn't know about that, so now Im moving forward again.

I only got about 10 lines of startup spam, then back to a command prompt. Is the server running? I know how an active server looks like on the Windows version, with text constantly spamming.

Also, I dont see the server in the Login Server list. Is the eqemu_config.xml used or is that file just for windows? Trying to get my first attempt of Linux server to show up on The login server.

Oh, and I found out how to obtain my local IP by going to root and doing ifconfig -a.

Thanks again.

Oh crap, I guess it does use the config.xml file... got a double server name up, one for Windows, and the closed one obviously my Linux one.

one error I had was sourcing in my custom database, maybe it need repair, will try again.

No questions for now. Thanks for the friendly help

Well, for a while I was able to log in but nobody else could. I guess that means its a router/local ip issue? So I forward the same ports to new local IP for linux, but no good. Tried to reset the router, still no good. So I set the DMZ, which reset the router again, and now a few people can log in. The database is correct for the server version, cause I ported over from windows using same server version number. I dont see the usual text spam in a window when the server is up like Windows Server has, bit unusual for me.
