At server select the server shows as locked, but I can still get to character select and create a character. However when I try to log in I'm getting zone unavailable and the logs show "Unknown launcher 'zone' connected." Yes I know "tons" of people have posted about this and I've tried everything that was suggested for them...

it doesn't look like ./eqlaunch is doing anything.

[WORLD__LAUNCH] Unknown launcher 'zone' connected. Disconnecting.
[WORLD__LAUNCH] Removing pending launcher 5. Adding zone to active list.
[WORLD__LAUNCH] Removing launcher zone (5)
[WORLD__CLIENT] usr: Attempting autobootup of rathemtn (50)
[WORLD__CLIENT_ERR] usr: No zoneserver available to boot up.

I followed the Installing EQEmu on Debian Linux guide using EQEmu-0.7.0-1118 and the peq-ykesha-release database.

Start up:

#!/bin/sh

#ulimit -c 99999999

rm -f .zone_shutdown
rm -f .world_shutdown

set -x

LNAME="zone"     #launcher name
if [ "$1" = "test" ]; then
        LNAME="test"
fi

P=`pwd`
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$P"

#make sure we have a place to log
mkdir -p logs 2>&1 > /dev/null

#clear out old logs, if both are stopped
if [ ! -e .lock-zones -a ! -e .lock-world ] ; then
  for f in logs/eqemu_*.log
  do
        if [ "$f" = "logs/eqemu_commands_zone.log" ]; then
                continue;
        fi

        rm -f $f
  done
fi

#boot up world
if [ ! -e .lock-world ] ; then
        touch .lock-world
#       ./world 2>&1 > logs/world &
        ./persist_world 2>&1 > logs/world &
        # wait for shared memory to load
        sleep 15
fi

#start up the official launcher
if [ ! -e .lock-launcher ]; then
        touch .lock-launcher
        ./eqlaunch $LNAME 2>&1 > logs/launcher &
fi

Persist World:

#!/bin/sh

#ulimit -c 99999999

while true
do
        ./world "$@"
        if [ -r ".world_shutdown" ]; then
                exit 0
        fi

        echo `date` "World crashed." >>crashlog
        sleep 2
done

I've tried

• with and without ZSPassword/key
• updating the db from the source change log
• and a few other things I found in the forums which aren't coming to mind...

Any help with be greatly appreciated.
