Default Quests not working

So, I am sorry but I have been away for a time, and I am back. I play in the Linux space and went ahead and started fresh rather than try and update my old server. I have been learning things and the one thing I am still struggling with is the pearl/Lua changes... None of my pearl quests seem to be working. I understand Lua has precedence (I think) but in a zone like POK where all speaking quests are done in Pearl, none of them work. I didn't even notice until I started adding some custom npc's and they would not respond. Do I need to make a change in the source before building? I am currently running off the Linux install script which has been fantastic!

Did you actually install PERL?

terminal->
Code:
perl -v

Yes I have. v 5.24.1.

I'm sure it's something small. I have only ever used Perl, so when I saw some of the new file names ending in lua I said "uhoh". I wanted to add auto skill-ups so I had to go into the global player lua file to get that going.

So does it use one or the other, and not both? If that's the case, I have entire zones with nothing setup in lua...

I ran around to some other zones and my Perl quests are definitely not working. I ran the new installer script and everything else has been perfect. Combat, mobs pathing, and the level up stuff seems to be in Lua and that all works fine. Is there a conf file I can look at? I know we used to have a place to point to the quest folder in the config... I don't want to start from scratch if I can help it, but maybe that's the best way to go...

Code:
perlbrew init
If unrecognized/error then:

Code:
wget --no-check-certificate -O - http://install.perlbrew.pl | bash
then/otherwise proceed with:
Code:
perlbrew install perl-5.12.3
Now to switch to that version:
Code:
perlbrew switch perl-5.12.3
Recompile server.

Should you wish to revert the change of Perl version to back what you're running:

Code:
perlbrew switch perl-5.24.1
I use Ubuntu, so, can't specifically state success rate on other nix flavors.

Maybe it's time I find another hobby. Everytime I go away for any time, just enough changes are made to completely alienate myself

Code:
-bash: perlbrew: command not found
I went to step two and installed it, but perlbrew, whatever it is, doesn't seem to be working...

Ok, when I got home tonight I built a brand new server using the Linux auto script, and again, everything worked perfectly... With one exception. None of the npc's will respond to hails. I was starting to go toward proximity, but merchants open fine and talk about their wears, and spells work fine.

I need to figure this out...

I am running 64bit Debian 9.0 Last night I ran a new server on 9.1 and had the same result, so I am entertaining stepping down to the last distro of 8. I was running 8 a while back before you setup the auto installer. Everything else works perfectly, so I was hoping I could figure it out though.

I was just reviewing the issues page to see if I could find anything, and may have. Are there prerequisites? I have been starting from a clean installation, but I saw another user was having trouble because he did not install mysql. Not the same issue of course, but I have been assuming the installer was handling everything. Still reading I will be back

I am running the installer on Debian 8.9 right now. I keep seeing inconsistencies and I'm not yet convinced it's due to things I am doing. Sometimes the installer fails straight away, and sometimes it runs perfectly. After this installation which looks to be going great, I am going to look back through for any errors I may have missed in earlier installs.

It should work right out of the box installer wise

I have been really busy with work but I can check on things here when I get a moment of time and spin up a server quick

Thank you very much. Obviously it isn't urgent I just ran through another complete install from a clean build and it's the same result. Nothing will respond to a hail, and I have been all over Norrath looking

This is my process.
Install Debian 9.1 AMD64 with only SSH Server and Standard tools, I don't think it matters, but I do this in VMware Workstation 12 Pro.

Then I do this #wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EQ...ler/install.sh -O install.sh && chmod 755 install.sh && ./install.sh

Everything works perfectly when it completes, except perl quests do not seem to be loading. Actually let me go double check the permissions and such there...

Any chance it could be client related?
