Trying to set up server

[Jster22]

I am still not able to get my server running. Looking in my server log files I keep seeing "Unable to load 'eqemu_config.xml': Failed to open file". Where does this file need to be located? Right now its in utils/defaults/. I'm not even sure I have it configured correctly. I posted it back in post 12 I think. Does it look right? Anything else I am missing to get this server started?

Thanks.

Please help, I can't get this to work. I feel like I am talking to a wall now. I have completely wiped everything and started from scratch and still am stuck. Here is where I am at.

My directory structure:
home/eqemulator/projecteqemu
home/eqemulator/server
home/eqemulator/eqemumaps
home/eqemulator/projecteqdb
home/eqemulator/projecteqquests

I have ran make in projecteqemu/EQEmuServer/ and projecteqemu/EQEmuServer/EQEmuLoginServer folders successfully.

I have created and sourced my database successfully.

I modified eqemu_config.xml (as shown back in post 12). I moved it from projecteqemu/EQEmuServer/utils/defaults/ to projecteqemu/EQEmuServer/zone/

What am I missing?

In eqemulator/server i ran ./start I get the following output.

./start: line 11: ./EQEmuLoginServer: No such file or directory
+ LNAME=zone
+ '[' '' = test ']'
+ P=/home/eqemulator/server
+ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/home/eqemulator/server
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/home/eqemulator/server
+ mkdir -p logs
+ '[' '!' -e .lock-zones -a '!' -e .lock-world ']'
+ '[' '!' -e .lock-world ']'
+ '[' '!' -e .lock-launcher ']'

+ ./chatserver
./start: line 73: ./chatserver: No such file or directory
+ '[' 1 ']'
+ ./mailserver
./start: line 78: ./mailserver: No such file or directory

I have checked eqemulator/server/logs and all logs are empty.

Please, any help? Thanks!

I have moved spells_us.txt into home/eqemulator/server. I don't have a copy of spells_en.txt. Could someone send that to me please?

Any suggestions about my last post?

Thanks.

Still looking for help. Thanks.

One more thing. My ./start output in the post above is from my second time running the command. I noticed that the output from the first time running it was different. So I ran ./stop and then tried ./start again. Here is the output from the first time running it.

I get the error "shmat failed! Invalid argument"

I figured out that I was getting the error ""shmat failed! Invalid argument" because I didn't increase shared memory limit. I increased it and tried to start the server. Here is the output from that. Are there any logs I should post?

+ LNAME=zone
+ '[' '' = test ']'
+ P=/home/eqemulator/server

How can I tell if the world started properly? Will it show up on the Server List?

I checked through all the logs and only found one error that appeared in two files. The two files it appeared in are login_1277437359.log and loginserver.

[Debug] [06.24.10 - 21:42:39] Logging System Init.
[Debug] [06.24.10 - 21:42:39] Config System Init.
[Error] [06.24.10 - 21:42:39] Config::Parse(), file was unable to be opened for parsing.
[Error] [06.24.10 - 21:42:40] Database Initialization Failure.
[Debug] [06.24.10 - 21:42:40] Config System Shutdown.
[Debug] [06.24.10 - 21:42:40] Log System Shutdown.

The error states that it is unable to open a file to parse. What file is it trying to open? I don't know how to fix this.

Thank you for your help!

I have created a World Server Account in the User CP section. I added that to my eqemu_config.xml file. I ran ./start and received the same output with the same parse error posted above. My server did not appear on the server list page.

I don't understand what I am missing and why I can't get this running. I have followed the guides and the advice posted here. What else am I missing? I am looking forward to getting this server going. I would appreciate any continued help as I have been completely stuck! Or should I just give up?

Thanks for your help!

[Jster22]

I thought I would give this one last bump before I accept defeat.

[pfyon]

Did you check file permissions and ownership?

[pfyon]

I'm too tired/busy to figure it out tonight, but perhaps tomorrow after work I'll see if I can figure out what you did and what's wrong.

[Jster22]

Hi pfyon, I look forward to seeing if you figure out what I am doing wrong! I feel like I am very close. I am excited to get this setup once and for all.

I suck at setting up servers obviously but I would like to return the favor to you somehow. This goes for trevius and the others who have helped me. I clearly can't do it without you guys! If you guys have servers, maybe I could somehow help with the game play?

[pfyon]

I think that most recent error is occurring because it's having issues with login.ini. Make sure it exists and the login server has read permissions set to it. I personally run EQEmuLoginServer from its own directory (not from the server root - when I set up my server, it wasn't functional yet).

What's ls -l look like for projecteqemu/EQEmuServer/EQEmuLoginServer/login_util/ ?

[Jster22]

Hi pfyon, login.ini exists in /projecteqemu/EQEmuServer/EQEmuLoginServer/login_util/login.ini.

[pfyon]

Hmm, well I'm not quite sure what's wrong with that.

Could you post the contents of login.ini (with sensitive info removed)? I'm not sure where else to go from here.
