EQEmu on Debian 6 within vSphere 5.0 (ESXi) 12-17-2011

[Gem]

The blank log.ini does exist in the server directory.

It seems like this problem is only happening with the nested if statements. There are 2 nested if statements in the script, and both get the same error.

[Gem]

After I replaced the whitespace which indented these blocks of code, the problem stopped... strange. I deleted the whitespace and indented with the same number of spaces.

You've peaked my curiosity with the white space issue. I want to see if I can duplicate the issue. I will work on cleaning up the scripts and removing deprecated portions.

Are you running on bare metal or VMware?

Did you copy the scripts from the Wiki or the forum?

How were you copying and pasting the script? Directly to a console/terminal or using notepad or another editor.

Where you on the console or using Putty or another terminal emulation program from Windows?

Thanks in advanced!

I've got to ask this, because it's probably been the only reason I ever install the gui when setting up Debian Linux... How do you copy the spells.txt and spells.en files from windows? Your guide says to do it, but not how... In the past Iv'e used webmin, but in this guide you never set that up. Is it as simple as using ftp to put them there? Just curious as to how everyone else does this.

I'm thinking about opening my server back up, and I would love to drop the gui!

Thanks

Mount the windows partition and copy them to the appropiate folder.

Take a look at the `mount` and `cp` commands. If you have a GUI desktop you may be able to simply mount them by simply double clicking on the windows partition (possibly showed on the desktop) and supplying the root password.

Alternatively you could just boot into windows and put the files on a flash drive and then boot back into Debian.

Yeah with the gui most of the steps to setting up a server are easier... Thats why I run my server with the gui enabled. I would love to be able to cut down on the size of the vm by eliminating it, but it just doesn't seem worth it.

Once you get comfortable with the command-line, it's very powerful and even sometimes fun.

That said, for a simple EQEmu setup I don't think a desktop GUI will affect performance all that much.
Either way you have access to the command-line (through a terminal emulator) which can be very helpful.
