Quest / Perl Error

[kedra]

Yaaarg......crap. Don't think that was it. Same issue when running from the local drive. Hrm, I was sure... :\

The administrator account is the only one on this machine, so I don't think it is being caused by the same thing that you had going on.

Guess I'll keep looking.

Just a thought but, When setting up mysql did you uncheck "strict mode" ?
for whatever reason that one little feature disabled talking to npc's and plugins for quests to function etc....

Hrm. Tried messing with that - no luck.

Did you run the perl program "ppm.exe" ?
and then issue these commands?

Install DBI
Install DBD-mysql
Install IO-stringy

Yea, I've done that, for what it's worth. I've set up plenty of servers in the past. I think maybe one component was updated and is causing some sort of incompatibility? I've restored my archived server which I know for a fact functioned just fine. I know that db + copy of zone/world are all compatible. I'm thinking the problem is with perl, but who knows...

Not sure if this helps any or not, but I recently switched my server to a new machine, downloaded the latest source and compiled without any modifications, when I logged in none of my NPC's responeded to any hail's at all... switched back out and installed with a clean 'pre-compiled' version (think it was v1077) and everything worked fine with hails and all quests... retried with a compile of the latest source and no hails worked... at this point I ran out of available time for checking into this more thoroughly. If i find anything further I'll post back.

Thanks for the info. I'll give 1077 a shot and see if there is any improvement.
