Easy DIY Linux Install

All of that contained the most updated version, which it all has to match as well. (/server/plugins/ and /server/lua_modules) has to match the /server/quests/plugins and /server/quests/modules/ (all updated)

I just went through that not long ago with the starts/stopped errors. After all it was updated, the errors went away.

Edit: By the way, that "Install" folder with the zip file I posted, is an exact copy of my linux test server, using Current EQEmu source code - Release v23.10.3 and Current Database - db version 9328 (that was created, using that install.sh script)

Hmmmm, something to look at I suppose. I *think* I did those right via symlinks. From the root of the "server" folder (mine is just called "eqemu" in an "apps" folder off my own home directory):


lua_modules -> ./quests/lua_module
plugins -> ./quests/plugins

Maybe they're not up to date, though I pulled them from the docker. I can try updating the physical folders before I try messing with the symlinks. Definitely something to look at though, thanks!

EDIT: Yeah, I just did a comparison and the actual files in both of those folders are identical to the ones in your installer folder. I'll keep playing with it.

That original install.sh (back when it was active) was technically advised to use on a clean linux box. That install folder in my zip download is an exact copy of this:
*Except maps folder needs to have maps downloaded. Everything else needed is there. (except symlinks) This is a screenshot of my test server folder, (from my terminal gui).

Oh interesting, the docker had the executables all in a "bin" folder. Let me restructure things to mirror yours.

EDIT: Actually.. I'm wondering if yours is an old way of structuring it? I just checked and my previous Windows install that still works had all the executables in a bin folder, too.

The executables ARE in a bin folder. (as per readme-setup doc) Those are symlinks in the screenshot (not included in the "install" folder

Ahhhh gotcha! I modified your calling scripts to call in the bin folder haha.
