Quests not working

Thank you very much. Obviously it isn't urgent I just ran through another complete install from a clean build and it's the same result. Nothing will respond to a hail, and I have been all over Norrath looking

This is my process.
Install Debian 9.1 AMD64 with only SSH Server and Standard tools, I don't think it matters, but I do this in VMware Workstation 12 Pro.

Then I do this #wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EQ...ler/install.sh -O install.sh && chmod 755 install.sh && ./install.sh

Everything works perfectly when it completes, except perl quests do not seem to be loading. Actually let me go double check the permissions and such there...

Any chance it could be client related?

Well well well... Here's a clue! Found this in a zone log.

This same error is in each of the 30 zone logs when I launch the server. I am happy to have found this, because I was also starting to guess it was client related. Now, on to why... plugin.pl does not exist on this server.

Alright - well... After spending way too many hours on this issue, tracing through all of the Perl changelogs and what they've done, and then going through all of our Perl C++ API integrations to find out where the issue lies, I finally found it >_<

Debian 9 should be good to go and any other Linux releases that up to the same version

Enjoy!

Oh wow, thank you! I am sorry you had to go all through that, but I am also happy it wasn't something I was doing

Working perfectly, thanks again!
