i recently started playing on eqemu again. i decided it would be cool to learn how games like this actually work and set up my own private server and start playing around with modifying the game.

- i created a virtual machine with ubuntu server and virtual box
- i downloaded the install.sh on github using this url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EQ...ler/install.sh which by the way may be wrong, i had to use raw.github.com for wget.
- i ran the installer, everything went fine, took about half an hour or so, i was at work so didn't watch the clock. though the first try took almost 6 hours so i remade the vm and started again.
- i went through the changes to eqemu_config, login.ini and eqhost to account for my IP which i made static so it wouldn't change on me after closing the vm.

at this point i tried to login, no connection so i went rummaging through the source code and from the looks of it i think the world exec starts up everything including the login server, still no connection.

i tried running eqlaunch after that, still nothing.

i notice the server_start/stop/luanch, i checked out parameters i tried running server_launch but i got sh: 1: ./loginserver not found not sure if i'm supposed to run that after world or eqlaunch.

i would like to know what exactly i need to do to get this running, i'm rather frustrated with it at the moment. i am looking for the steps to go through to start the server whenever i run my vm.

i've looked around at different sources cannot find anything really useful. i have a feeling its my config file as well because there are several different setups out there tat i've noticed.

here is my eqemu_config.xml
