So close!

[Rikon]

So I have the server compiled and populated. It's showing up on the server select screen. It does say 'Locked' but I believe I read that this is generally okay while standing up the server(?). Either way, I removed the comment for the Unlocked variable in the .conf file.

What am I missing? I can get to the character select screen, but when I go to enter the world, I get a "Zone is Unavailable"

I can see my client connecting on the server, so I assume it's an issue with zones?

My thanks in advance. It is appreciated.

EDIT: I'm running Debian.

When I load the world...

[World Server] Loading variables..
[World Server] Loading zones..
[World Server] Clearing groups..

[World Server] Loading items..
[World Server] Error: Could not load item data. But ignoring

Nothing is showing as running on port 9000 when I check the server.

Sounds like the server software can't see the database, with the "Error: Could not load XYZ" messages. Perhaps your eqemu_config.xml file needs correcting?

[Shendare]

Also, you have shared_memory running, right?

Yeah those have to be fixed first, may not be the entire problem but that is the first step.

[Rikon]

It was a sequence issue, and I indeed did not have some things running. I appreciate the help. You guys are very kind.

*thumbs up*

I don't want to keep creating new threads, so I'll add to this one:

Everything comes up and I can get into the game, but the toon will not move. I know this is related to the server as the same issue occurs with others.

I have found old Windows threads about updating the zone maps sql, but this was a truly fresh install. Any advice, as always, is appreciated.

Again, the problem is that ones logged in, the character cannot move, other than rotating.

[Shendare]

It definitely sounds like a maps file problem.

Did you move the maps files into your EQEmuServer\Maps directory?

[Rikon]

My ~/maps directory is loaded with maps, as are two directories in ~/server called "Maps" and "maps" respectively.

The problem is you need to run the sql update that is labeled "gravity". for some reason it is not included in the default database even though the date on the database is later then the sol update.

EDIT: Disregard. I found it. Thank you Furniture.

Crawling right along. My current issue is that only one (1) zone is online at the moment (Gloomingdeep). Perhaps I am missing something in the ./zone script?

[Rikon]

Any ideas? Should I recompile and try that? Again, the issue is that no other zones appear to be loading. The only one available in Gloomingdeep.

This is where I think the issue lies:

Read off what is in your launcher table.

Also how are you launching your server? Do you have a start shell script? If so see if you can copy and past it here.
