Installing a server on Debian Linux (trying)

[leslamarch]

Make sure to use the updates in the update folder... I think the latest PEQ also is using the branch of the SVN

You could try to add the removed columns back to your DB

ALTER table character_ ADD column `instZflagNum` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0';
ALTER table character_ ADD column `instZOrgID` int(11) NOT NULL default '0';

I think it is getting close now. I ran the queries above and added those fields back into the character_ table.

My friend just tried to logon while I watched the logs, this is the log entries from the eqemu_debug_world.log

It seems to be having trouble finding the zone still. At least it no longer had the 1054 error. But still cannot logon.

Looking back through the SQL changes, this looks like it may also be needed for the old instancing system:

ALTER TABLE `zone` ADD column `insttype` tinyint (1) zerofill unsigned NOT NULL default '0';

And:

INSERT INTO variables VALUES ('curInstFlagNum', 2000, 'Determines what instance flag will be handed out next', '2008-09-05 04:46:47');
INSERT INTO variables VALUES ('dfltInstZflag',1000, 'Used to determine if a zone is instanced, must be 1000 or greater', '2008-09-05 04:46:47');

That was already in the DB in the zone table. So I couldn't add it. It seems to be having trouble finding any zone. The zone tables are populated though, I can see the data.

[Xelaan]

The problem seems to be in the zones somehow.

30055 [05.18. - 17:12:35] [WORLD__CLIENT_ERR] Koloth: Zone not found in database zone_id=189, moveing char to arena character:Yunashen

I edited my post to reflect a couple of variable table entries. If that doesn't work, I give up :(

Thanks Der, that cured the zone missing issue I had since updating to rev535.

Cheers.

Now that I know how to cure that one, will update binaries from SVN and hope it still works, if not at least can revert!
