binaries question

[blackdragonsdg]

Why are the binaries looking for the eqemu_server.pl in C:\Program? Where is it getting that path from and can I change this behavior?

I did ask this on discord several days ago and I have not gotten any responses so far.

I’m not sure what you’re asking

Not sure if I can explain that much better but I'll try. After letting my server start I look at the world window and near the top where it is suppose to be checking for needed updates using the eqemu_server.pl i see this

Can't open perl script "C:\Program": No such file or directory

I am using the precompiled binaries from 1-21-23. This same thing occurs using binaries from 1-14-23 and 12-22-22. There is no log entry for this because it is happening right before the logging starts.

This is a problem because the server is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\EQEmu

I put this up on discord as well.

It sounds like possibly an issue with having a space in the folder path. You should try to run the server from a folder not in the Program Files folder like "c:\eqemu".

This was pointed out on Discord and it solved the problem. Thanks for the advice.
