Oops.. guess they don't allow editing after a set time... anyway, correction to the Router Setup section:

Router Setup
Setup your router to forward the following protocols and ports to your server:
UDP 7000-7100
TCP & UDP 9000

It may just be UDP 9000, but I see both ports listening on linux. Also a good idea to setup iptables to harden your linux box.

Looks like a nice guide. It would be best if you just add it to the wiki though. Then you can edit it all you like and others can edit it as well if needed.

One quick note from glancing through is that you should really just use ucs instead of chatserver and mailserver. The ucs (universal chat server) replaced both of them and works for all clients.

I have added this to the wiki: http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...nLinuxOnVMware

The chat server and mail server options aren't enabled by the start script, but are leftover from the time when they existed. The scripts are old and I didn't update them.

I may update them later.

I'm having the following problem when trying to run the start script. Have you seen this before, or have any idea what the problem could be?

eqemu@eqserver:~/server$ ./start
+ LNAME=zone
+ '[' '' = test ']'
+ P=/home/eqemu/server
+ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/home/eqemu/server
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/home/eqemu/server
+ mkdir -p logs
./start: line 39: syntax error near unexpected token `then'
./start: line 39: `* * if [ "$f" = "logs/eqemu_commands_zone.log" ]; then'

What does this mean?

iptables is a firewall. always a good idea to have a solid firewall configured.
