Quests not working

[hayward6]

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?

Well well well... Here's a clue! Found this in a zone log.

This same error is in each of the 30 zone logs when I launch the server. I am happy to have found this, because I was also starting to guess it was client related. Now, on to why... plugin.pl does not exist on this server.

Alright - well... After spending way too many hours on this issue, tracing through all of the Perl changelogs and what they've done, and then going through all of our Perl C++ API integrations to find out where the issue lies, I finally found it >_<

Debian 9 should be good to go and any other Linux releases that up to the same version

Enjoy!
