Spend about 10 hours.. Now MORE errors

[Shadow Wizard]

Well.. After about 10 hours of work, I am reduced to this:

rob@Linux-Server:~/eqemu/projecteqemu-read-only/server$ ./start
+ LNAME=zone
+ [ = test ]
+ pwd
+ P=/home/rob/eqemu/projecteqemu-read-only/server
+ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/home/rob/eqemu/projecteqemu-read-only/server
+ mkdir -p logs
+ [ ! -e .lock-zones -a ! -e .lock-world ]
+ [ logs/eqemu_*.log = logs/eqemu_commands_zone.log ]
+ rm -f logs/eqemu_*.log
+ [ ! -e .lock-world ]
+ touch .lock-world
+ ./persist_world
./persist_world: 14: ./world: not found
+ sleep 15
./persist_world: 14: ./world: not found
./persist_world: 14: ./world: not found
./persist_world: 14: ./world: not found
./persist_world: 14: ./world: not found
At this point I hit ctrl-c and entered ./stop as you can see below
rob@Linux-Server:~/eqemu/projecteqemu-read-only/server$ ././persist_world: 14: ./world: not found
stop./persist_world: 14: ./world: not found

world: no process found
eqlaunch: no process found
zone: no process found
./persist_world: 14: ./world: not found
./stop: 14: ./cleanipc: not found
rob@Linux-Server:~/eqemu/projecteqemu-read-only/server$


Now, I have redone it 3 times from scratch. WTF am I doing wrong?

[pfyon]

Did you create a symbolic link to world from your server directory?

[Shadow Wizard]

Yes, using the command similar to

ln -s ../source/EQEmu-0.7.0-1118/world/world

as applies to my directory structure.

[pfyon]

Can you try

ls -l

in your server directory? cleanipc doesn't seem to be there either.

Weird. How about:

ls -l EQEmuServer/utils/cleanipc EQEmuServer/world/world

[Shadow Wizard]

rob@Linux-Server:~/eqemu/projecteqemu-read-only/server$ ls -l EQEmuServer/utils/cleanipc EQEmuServer/world/world
ls: cannot access EQEmuServer/utils/cleanipc: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access EQEmuServer/world/world: No such file or directory
rob@Linux-Server:~/eqemu/projecteqemu-read-only/server$

So it looks like you're missing some of the files. Did you get your source via svn?

[Shadow Wizard]

Yes, Secrets assisted me a bit on irc. But I guess he fell asleep, or got more frustrated then I. Only been working on this for 12 hours so far, lol
I have downloaded and compiles the source 3X, all with the same result.

When I do compile the source, I believe it indicates there are some errors, but can't remember specifically. There is too much output to read it all.
Although the guides indicate I should edit some of the code, Secret indicated that was not necessary as it was running on a x86 system.

There is one other option.. The box is used for nothing, so there is no real security risk. If you wanted to ssh in and look, I am fine with that.

[Shadow Wizard]

Well, I found the solution to the problem. Actually some guys in a #linux channel did. Apparently there is a small defect in the code, according to them. A line was commented out, that should not have been. Here in the solution to fix it.

Thank you so much for the help pfyon (I am sure I will need more) and I hope that tidbit of info helps out whoever is reading this.

[pfyon]

Not a problem, sorry I didn't get to solving that specific problem.
