First of all, the world directory, rather than the world executable, is in your working directory:
Code:
drwxrwxr-x 4 main root 4096 2009-06-09 15:30 world
./start expects the executable itself to be in the directory, which happens from this command:
Code:
ln -s ../source/peqdb_1129Rev342/world/world .
And is why the old file works, is because it points to world under the world directory:
Code:
/home/main/eqserver/world/world 2>&1 >> world.log &
That should fix the permissions issue for world when trying to run the ./start script.
As for the other stuff, I'll have to see if I can revisit this later, because I think there's an error in the query you're using to insert the password (I think it needs OLDPASSWORD() or something like that). However, it looks like you may have been able to get that working.
