Hey there guys, I am curious on what the problem is with my process of hosting a TBA MUD src on my host. So I'll explain my process and the results of each step...
1. Changing ports...
Code:
PROCESS
Went into autorun file and changed 'PORT=4000' to 'PORT=8425' (8425) is my allocated port.
Went into autorun.cmd to do the same.
Went into autorun.sh to do the same.
Code:
RESULTS
Every thing is well at the moment, of course, no errors have popped up.
2. Configuring...
Code:
PROCESS
Went into the root directory of the MUD files, and preformed './configure'.
Code:
RESULTS
Following error was displayed "-bash ./configure: Permission denied"
Code:
PROCESS
Seeing that I need 'permissions' I used the sudo command like so : 'sudo ./configure'. I entered the password when prompted.
Code:
RESULTS
Following error was displayed "jvargas is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.". Jvargas, being my username.
Since I wasn't sure what to do from there, I went into the src files and just continued the process...
3. Compiling...
Code:
PROCESS
I went into the src directory and typed 'make clean' into my prompt.
Code:
RESULTS
"rm -f *.o depend" was displayed as an error - or at least I think it was an error.
Seeing that make clean didn't do much I tried otherwise...
Code:
PROCESS
The next attempt was me typing 'make' into the prompt in the src directory.
Code:
RESULTS
It seemed to work! The gcc compiler did the job, or at least, so I thought...
4. Starting up...
Code:
PROCESS
I went back a directory and entered in './autorun &'.
Code:
RESULTS
"[1] 3778" was displayd, as if the process started, but then the next line read "-bash: ./autorun: Permission denied" : and so, I thought once again, since seeing this already with the ./configure command, that maybe I need to use the sudo command. Also, note that the shell at this time was waiting for user input. I hit enter and '[1]+ Exit 126 ./autorun' was displayed.
Code:
PROCESS
I used 'sudo ./autorun &' in the command prompt to try and boot up the MUD.
Code:
RESULTS
'[1] 4040 was displayed. Once again, it was waiting for user input. If I entered anything, '[1]+ Stopped sudo ./autorun' was displayed.
I know at this point its obvious something is wrong, but I tried to connect just to give it a shot, and as expected, it wouldn't connect. I am really confused on what is happening. Hosting is given to me through frostmud.com - a free hosting service. I would greatly appreciate anyone who can help me with setting up my MUD. Thank you in advance,
Damien
