Cannot run my server.

Upon attempting to run my server I get the following error: http://prntscr.com/2cxlby

There are no logs of this event; therefore, I cannot diagnose the error or post a log to help anyone else diagnose it, any ideas?

Here's my batch file:

Code:

@echo off

RMDIR /S /Q shared

mkdir shared

start shared_memory.exe

echo The shared memory must finish for the world to start.

ping -n 30 127.0.0.1 > nul

start world.exe

echo The world must finish for the zone to start.

ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > nul

start queryserv.exe

start ucs.exe

start eqlaunch.exe zone        

exit

I don't know if it matters but you do not need to remove and recreate your shared directory. So remove lines 2 and 3 from your batch file and see if it works.

I just did that and it still cannot find shared_memory.exe.

Sounds like you have a process open that has the file locked. Reboot and try again.

That did nothing either.

EDIT: My default command prompt directory is C:\Windows\System32, it was C:\ earlier, but I changed it back because I thought it may be interfering. Could this batch be looking in C:\Windows\System32 for the executables rather than in the correct folder?

You have to cd to the directory you want to run everything to ensure the 100% functionality when windows does stupid stuff.

As Sorvani said, I've gotten burned by something so simple, cd to the server directory before trying to launch. Run the batch from cd while in the directory and try that

That worked, thanks Sorvani and Akkadius. Is there anyway to make that simple on myself rather than opening a command prompt and manually doing that every time?

Add a line in the batch file to cd to the correct directory?

Could just add the path in the environmental variables under profile. That should allow windows to see the path as native and no cd required.

Use a shortcut and set the working directory to where your server files are.

I just did what Natedog said, added cd "C:\EQ\EQEmuServer" to my .bat file, thanks everyone for the help!
