having issues with Hailing NPC's (yes, i have searched forms)

[holytouch]

Howdy all,

I have tried to stand on the hex of the NPC and everything but cannot get any NPC's to respond to me. I am running error-free otherwise and can zone/purchase items, etc...

I have read here that I might need to use zoneperl instead of zone.exe but since i don't use either of those (i use eqlaunch zone) they may not apply to me.

I know I have not yet provided enough information to solve my issue, so please any smart board lurker ask me and I will quickly provide. I did install Perl on the server and install DBI and IO-Stringy, both installed fine. I have mysql running on the server with no issue at all.

Thanks in advance and I love this stuff!
