Alright so, I'm fairly new to this coding part and "running the server". So I'll get straight to the point.

I have a codebase in SWR format, that is not default SWR code, it's been rewritten and modified already. When I use cygwin to browse down into the src directory and type in ./startup &

It gives me a random number, random I think last one was 6068, and then it also tells me

$ limit: Command not found.
$ unlimit: Command not found.

Any ideas from anyone on this one?

Search this forum for "limit Command not found".

I found quite a few posts about it.

Thanks

Now I have a different question.

I removed the limit/unlimit commands, then ./startup & again, it gave no errors, but whenever I tried to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 4000 it doesn't connect.

Sorry if creating a new thread on this is bothersome.

Have a look inside your startup file. I found mine to default to port 4020, not 4000.

Check what processes are running.

If I gave you a list of processes, we'd be here all night. XD

Am I looking for tcsh.exe?

The ones that stand out from the normal ones that are runnning are as followed:

Sleep.exe
tcsh.exe
bash.exe (cygwin I assume)
xterm.exe
xwin.exe

Which processes should be running, and do you think it may be a firewall issue? I have my port forwarding set up for the port 4000, but there could be something else blocking it.

Bear in mind, I'm attempting this on a Windows Vista 64-bit machine, and it probably isn't set up at the moment for hosting, so ports may need to be opened or configured. If so, let me know what I need to do on my end

Not the processes in Windows, the processes in Cygwin.

Look into the ps command.

If you only see startup, that means the MUD exec isn't running. Check the logs.

Initially I would run "direct" without using the startup script. There is probably a log somewhere if you can find it. To run without the script, work out the executable name (quite possibly smaug.exe) - this will be in the src directory. Then type:


cd ../area
../src/smaug


Then quite probably you will see error messages or something flying by to confirm or otherwise that things are working.

Strange, I don't see startup there. If sleep and startup are there, that probably means the exec is failing to boot. What Nick says is a good idea.
