Lame problems...

For those of you just tuning in I had a LOT of issues getting copyover to work, so we're switching to DBS and seeing what we can rip out to make it our own. (Though nothing vital this time. We've chained our head coder up and are holding his shell rights for ransom.)

So the problem is: SMAUG is starting up and not the new codebase I'm trying to launch. I checked my ser... y'know what? I bet you guys have the answer, I'm not going to explain the rigors I went through to try and find out how to switch what MUD starts up, if someone could just give me a little help... =)

Also: the WIKI-thing on all the SMAUG commands ROCKS. Aaand... that's it.

Make sure the stock Smaug MUD is shutdown (and so is startup script from it). Then run the startup script for DBS.

Are you typing startup from the right directory?

Well, I typed 'shutdown mud now' so the SMAUG MUD is shut down...

Now... how do I get the DBS MUD up?

./startup isn't working... I tried executing it and it saaaid:

[XXXX@indecent src]$ ./startup &
[1] 8495
-bash: ./startup: Permission denied

As a note, the port is set to 1122, which is the proper port for us.

The entire startup file is here:

#!/bin/csh -f

# Set the port number.
set port = 1122
if ( "$1" != "" ) set port="$1"

# Change to area directory.
cd ../area

# Set limits.
nohup
nice
limit stack 1024k
ulimit -Sc unlimited
if ( -e shutdown.txt ) rm -f shutdown.txt

while ( 1 )
# If you want to have logs in a different directory,
# change the 'set logfile' line to reflect the directory name.

# rm ../log/syslog.9
# We have space to archive old log files now...
if ( -e ../log/syslog.9 ) then
set index = 1000
while ( 1 )
set archivefile = ../log/archived/$index.log
if ( ! -e $archivefile ) break
@ index++
end
mv ../log/syslog.9 $archivefile
endif

chmod startup to the correct perms (777?).

chmod +x startup


Edit:
This means:
chmod (change mode) +x (by adding the executable flag) startup (the file to change)
