Talking Progress launching EQ Debian host server through Amazon Web Services

FIRST OFF!! THANK YOU... thank you everyone for your work here. I apologize for not trying to fix this myself but I at least want to share my journey!

I wanted to at least TRY and do something new ... like this http://github.com/sword-666 <-- my Half Life EQ map for Sven Coop mod


I wanted to see if I could start a real world server not a LAN one using AWS free tier


What I am doing:

***Full Titanium install with proper eqhost.txt and patchme shortcut**

- Debian Linux version 10

- Amazon Web Service (t2.micro) FREE TIER !!

- SSH CLI login to public IP with PuTTY .ppk auth -- and login as "admin" (Debian default)

- Run scripts install.sh by using sudo curl ...

- Use sudo vi and save with :w! to complete your eqemu_config.json and login.json infos

** My amazon instanced linux server has a public facing IP and I have opened the necessary PORTS **





below image is first REDACTED eqemu_config changes

-- i will need to optimize this as I made too many changes without testing...

-- i signed up for a world here on forums... shortname "hurbquest" so I have the world server forum registration info to insert in "account" under "world"




---

1st try

-- starting server with server_start.sh gave me looping "./zone and ./world and ./queryserv ./ucs not found" until I exit console

TODAY:

- I re-ran the install.sh using sudo and ACTUALLY read the last bit:
"EQEmu Server Main Menu"

- visited "database" "assets" sections and ran for updates ... a lot downloaded .. maps quests opcodes ... all seemed to update.

[Update] Database version is ahead of current binaries...

I think I need to check and confirm all COMPILED stuff was moved to proper directories... it seemed like sudo curl gave cmake the power to do the work already but I need to make sure .. someone mentioned this has heppened in Linux http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=42808 see --> http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=41880

Ok that's a little different, but same thing, I guess. I usually:

2. cmake CMakeLists.txt
3. make
But I use my own custom folders, then copy over.

Need to confirm login.json eqemu_config.json don't look like trash, and properly register MY public facing server for the EQEmulator server list

3.
Please tell me all the funny random stuff that pops up in your head, like "Why didn't you just ..." or "you could have just ..." ** I NEED ALL SUGGESTIONS, and I WILL wipe and reinstall ... just give me a hint**




THANK YOU .. i've never met you, the person reading this ... but you are a good person. Keep it up.

and to Akkadius .. WOW .. just amazing stuff
