New Server Setup Problem [RULES_ERROR]

[trevius]

If you are building a server using the latest PEQ database, you need to be sure to use a matching version of the emulator code. The ones in the download section of this site are way outdated and probably won't be updated any time soon. We have a new site here for downloads:

http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/

Updates are very frequent there, which is why we haven't had the download section of this site updated in a while. Even if it was updated, it would be outdated quickly at the rate changes have been coming in. In the couple months since the new SVN was added, we already have over 200 change updates including hundreds of changes.

Alright. I have the Revision222.zip

I've unpacked it over the old server, but noticed that the folder structure was changed. All of the folders currently in the defaults folder, were simply in the top level folder. So I copied over the contents of the quests, and deleted the rest from the old install, so now the only folder in c:\eqemu is defaults.

The problem I have is that my peqdb claims an update number of peqdb_1129Rev233.sql but the most recent one I could find was 222 for the server. However, when I look in the updates folder for peqdb the latest version is 227. Do I need to downgrade my database for the correct number? And if so, how do I choose the version number to synchronize to in CVS (very new at using it)?

I tried running it anyway following the instructions for installation here: http://www.projecteq.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2258

But I get a error when I try to load up EqServer:
world.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point Perl_newXS_flags could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll

Thank you for the assistance.

Nope, no structures have changed that would break an older server build.

There is a sticky about that exact error.
