Trying to set up server

[Mirakus]

If you're still having problems, I would recommend reading this thread: http://eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=30773 and using the script described there.

I started out with trying to use the Debian guide, and had a lot of problems along the way. Snag the later version of the script from that other thread, and then add into the section where it adds links a link for commands.pl and login.ini. I'm not sure of the exact directory locations at this time. You might be able to get that setup script working with your existing installation, but you may need to rename some directories or move things around. I know that the script creates a lot of soft links into the server directory that you do not create (and need) when using the Debian guide.

If you're planning on running your own login server and running locally only in your LAN, I would recommend setting the address and local address values in eqemu_config.xml. A couple of guides out there say it is unnecessary, but I had to do that in order to get up and running.

Hello trevius and Mirakus,

Thanks for the replies. I will look into both of your suggestions. Hopefully I can get this working. I'm sure I'll be replying back with more questions.

trevius, I have logged into your server before. You have done a very good job with it.

Mirakus,

I don't know the exact commands for adding the links for commands.pl and login.ini. I did find those files in eqemulator/projecteqemu/utils/defaults/commands.pl and eqemulator/projecteqemu/EQEmuLoginServer/login_util/login.ini. Would this mean the link commands would look like this

user@server:/home/eqemulator/server$ ln -s ../projecteqemu/utils/defaults/commands.pl \
done
user@server:/home/eqemulator/server$ ln -s ../projecteqemu/EQEmuLoginServer/login_util/login.ini \
done

That doesn't seem right to me. Any ideas on this?

My end goal is to set up a private server for a few of my friends and myself. They live in different cities so I will need to setup a login server.

Thank you for taking time to help me.

Assuming you're in your server directory, the command you want will look like:

 ln -s ../projecteqemu/utils/defaults/commands.pl .

The keywork "done" terminates a loop block, such as a for or while loop.

Thanks for the clarification Kobaz.

After running the script that Mirakus suggested, it said to cd into projecteqemu and make it. It errored out, so I tried it again and it errored out again. I'm not sure how to resolve this. Below is the error message from my second attempt.

Jster22, the errors you listed are caused by the latest version of GCC. With some of the older versions, you would not have gotten that error. At the very top of both <yoursourcedir>/world/Adventure.cpp and <yoursourcedir>/world/AdventureManager.cpp, put #include <stdlib.h>

That should resolve your error.

Thanks Mirakus. I didn't get any build errors after making those changes.

The next step is to "Build the login server". I assume that this means to cd into projecteqemu/EQEmuLoginServer and make. However, I get another error.

I assume that this is a similar issue but I'm not sure which file(s) need to be edited.

Also looking ahead at the next steps, what is the file eqemu_config.xml used for? It says that I need to create/edit it. What needs to be in there? As well as the next step which is "Create/Edit your login server configuration"

Thanks again for your help!
