Server Locked?

[lymontyme]

Are you on the newer "Strawberry" Perl installation? I don't specifically remember a "locked" message but I do remember having issues when starting things up a few months ago. It turns out my install was no longer compatible with the old Perl and I had to move to Strawberry.

I ended up doing a completely fresh install, because my custom changes are pretty easy to re-implement, but you may have to do some elaborate backing up if you've made a lot of changes.

The server code and Perl is from February 2018. That when it was installed and never updated. I would occasionally start it up and run around. Did just that 2 month ago - everything was fine. Didn't changed anything. Now I am having this thing ;(

Hmm. The only things I can think of are, maybe a Windows update broke something, or you somehow connected online and it updated something in EQemu, so that it now requires Strawberry Perl. I think something similar happened in my case.

Does your server still work offline? I have one install of pre-Strawberry EQemu that still works, but it's on a Windows 8 machine that I never update at all (both emu and OS) and it is configured to be permanently offline.

Well i never connected online, but could Windows 10 update brake Perl?
Those idiots did brake older version of Exel couple years back...

Will need to check on offline login.

Any idea how to check which version of Perl I had so I can try to reinstall it?
