So, although I'm no expert, it looks like my permissions are fine. I tried doing a simpler compile last night (using the steps I posted) and it didn't work, either. Given the results of these tests, unless I interpreted them totally incorrectly, I'm still inclined to think that this is a MySQL issue. Am I totally off-base, here?
The reasons I think it's MySQL are as follows:
1) No amount of beginner-level permissions-tweaking over the last 15 months has gotten this to work; also, the above tests seem to indicate that my permissions are correct.
2) I *think* that when it *seemed* to be working correctly a few days ago, it was hooked up to an old PEQ database, which (before I deleted it) probably had a different user and different database permissions.
3) The error log produced from that old bootserver file clearly shows some kind of critical problem with the MySQL access:
Code:
[Debug] [WORLD__INIT] Connecting to MySQL...
[Error] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_error_world.log
[Error] Failed to connect to database: Error: #1045: Access denied for user 'eq'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[Debug] [WORLD__INIT_ERR] Cannot continue without a database connection.
For reference, here's the old bootserver file that I had tried on a whim:
Code:
echo 83886080 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:.
rm logs/*
rm *log
./cleanipc
/home/main/eqserver/world/world 2>&1 >> world.log &
One of the lingering questions, in my mind, is why is the emulator trying to use "eq" to connect to the MySQL database, even after I modified eqemu_config.xml.full?
Anyway, thanks for sticking with this, everyone. Sorry that I'm not more experienced with Linux after a year-and-a-half of mistakes
