Also how are you launching your server? Do you have a start shell script? If so see if you can copy and past it here.

Launcher Table.



To launch the server, I have just been using TMUX to individual run ./shared_memory > ./world > ./zone

EDIT: Looking at the EQServer.sh script, I can see why things might not be working. Thank you Provocating.

Here is the contents of the script.

Zone launcher looks fine, and I can log in-- so not sure what's up with Login Server.



Verified that I cannot #zone to any other zones. Same error message.

[Rikon]

I can teleport to the zone ID, but it's as if the zones are only partially installed. It is black, but audio files come through.

Any ideas? Recompile?

Just tagging in. Always nice to see another Linux server!

I'm having so many issues, I don't know if it's any better than running a Windows box.

The latest (in addition to the above) is that the login server appears messed up. I have to reboot the server in order to log back in to a character, after having played.

[Rikon]

I can't remember how I fixed it last time, but I created a new server and the Gravity issue is at hand. Anyone recall how to fix this?

[N0ctrnl]

Gravity default is 0.4. Here's the script to update your database:
2015_02_12_zone_gravity.sql

ALTER TABLE `zone`
ADD COLUMN `gravity`  float NOT NULL DEFAULT .4 AFTER `snow_duration4`;

Thank you sir!

I recently setup a server on Ubuntu 14.04. ./zone gave me the same issue with nothing but glooming deep working. To fix it, use ./eqlaunch zone

[provocating]

Where are you at this point? Loginserver still not working? Until you get things resolved quit running them by script, run it all separately in different shell sessions. Open up a session for each process, that way when it dies you will know. Open up a terminal for world, and just do a ./world and another for your first zone and just do ./zone, do maybe two or three zones like that. You of course need to use a script after things get ironed out but for now do a terminal session per process. Also there is no reason I can see for your launcher to have a zone and peq both. Narrow it down to just one row, delete the peq and just have the word "zone" in there. Report back with your findings.

If a process is crashing, just let us know and I can give you a quick tutorial on finding the problem.

[jpyou127]

I have yet to get an autostart to work with linux. I use tmux and manually start each "service" each time beginning with shared_memory.

I would love to have a working Linux autostart script.

I have a working Linux login server that's stand alone on Ubuntu that is a virtual box machine. I am willing to share if anyone would like just pm me.

[provocating]

Well there appears to be on just a few post up. I will share mine but that one looks even better.

[Rikon]

Share what you have. I'd love to take a look.
