Thank you, Grumpy. They were precisely the same. I actually got tired of messing with it and destroyed the install and ran the script again and encountered a whole new error:

EDIT: Also, the table you quote doesn't exist, it was called: "loginserver_world_server_registration" for the world and "loginserver_server_admin_registration" for admin.

 [New Server] ERROR: You must run eqemu_server.pl in an empty directory

I tried moving the script to an empty directory and it didn't fix anything. *sigh* Wish it were more explicit; as in, why does it need an empty directory if you're trying to setup a new_server?

Not quite frustrated yet, but getting there. Now, I have to wait for a couple hours for the script to compile again and then go through the setup. It was working just fine and then stopped. There has to be a logical reason...

Ok, sorry spidey that must have something to do with the way things that Akka's
installer sets up the server. (that I was unaware of).
I do manual installs/compile, etc., so I have to gracefully shut up now. <wink>

First, did you use the installer to get to where you are right now?

The one listed here: https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/wiki/Linux-Server

Second, the loginserver is not really wrapped up in the default installation of the Linux server installer build.

To do an install you have to run

perl eqemu_server.pl linux_login_server_setup

The reason why a server would all of a sudden stop showing up on the public loginserver is usually because of the legacy flag not being set:

https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/wiki...ig#loginserver

If you're going to initially test that your loginserver works, I would recommend running it separately from the normal startup to make sure that it is working without issue

./loginserver

And finally, the current loginserver is not the best in terms of configuration, log messages and database table structure as it is. It has been on my list to go through it thoroughly so that the setup is consistent and simple

I appreciate any help, so no need to "gracefully shut up" on my account! :P

And @Akkadius, I think I found the problem in the server admin:

I was creating the admin password with:

...sha('<password_here>')

instead of an unencrypted password. Which is weird, because in my original install, it worked for several days and then didn't work.
