Quest / Perl Error

[kedra]

It happens with any quest, even all of the default peq ones. I've deleted every single quest and started with the basics:

sub EVENT_SAY {
  if ($text=~/hail/i) {
    quest::say("Hello");
  }
}

If I recall correctly, I had a problem on server 2003 when using notepad to edit quests. Using Notepad++ I set the format to UTF-8 and the line endings to Unix and didn't have a problem.

Actually I'm having the same problem, I just re-installed everthing on a newer pc for eqemu and this is the error I get.

I've tried this using MySQL4.1 and build 1002. As far as I can tell, this is the exact configuration of a server I had running not long ago but I'm still seeing this problem. Strange.

I finally figured out my problem and fixed it
Come to find out windows had some serious problem with my user logins, I signed in as "User" but for some reason all files were copied to "Administrator".

So I fdisk the computer since it wouldn't recognize any changes or new user and all works great even better than before.

[kedra]

Oh my freaking god, Shaz.

That's not my problem, but I think you just clued me in to what's wrong. It's most likely because my server directory is actually on a network drive. Oops.

I'm going to move everything back to a local drive and give that a shot. I'm sure that's the problem (Famous last words?).

Thanks for your follow up post! I'll post my findings... I hope this is it It's been driving me craaaazy.... then that stupid computer crashed. Ugh.

[kedra]

Yaaarg......crap. Don't think that was it. Same issue when running from the local drive. Hrm, I was sure... :\

The administrator account is the only one on this machine, so I don't think it is being caused by the same thing that you had going on.

Guess I'll keep looking.
