He may kill you, but he has no legal right to do so. eAMod uses eAthena/rAthena, which is released under GPL. We've been over this.

I think you're a bit lost. Hercules is a Ragnarok Private Server Emulator.

Permission denied. Your webserver is not authorized to access config/groups.php. It appears that you're trying to run FluxCP from your home directory (a very bad idea). When you install apache it creates /var/www for you and makes that the default serve from directory. Running a webserver out of your home directory means anything in your home directory (including configuration files) are up for grabs. To fix it from your current configuration, you would have to add yourself to the www-data group, then chgrp all the files in your home directory to www-data. For the CORRECT fix, move all your flux CP files to /var/www, reset the appropriate apache configuration to serve files from there as it is supposed to be, then add your username to the www-data group to be able to modify files in the /var/www directory.

I've changed the link back to https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules. Thanks.

I agree with this point. Use an established service. DigitalOcean doesn't provide VNC by default but they have excellent tutorials on how to do so. with SSD and $5/mo plan that will run Hercules, you can't go wrong.

IP.Content was being a big stupid meanie head. So I stabbed it with a fork and now it works. Our webchat on the website is back up and running. Join us in IRC by using the java chat client provided here: http://herc.ws/board/page/irc.html

The reason why this is necessary is because of the way Windows ends lines versus Linux/Unix. Windows adds a pesky "^M" while as Linux/Unix does not.

running service hercules start would make hercules start AS whatever user you're logged into as you run the command. if you sudo the service start then you've effectively started hercules as root (read: don't do that).

Why would you change the document directory for apache to /root/www? This effectively means you have to BE root to change, update or add or remove ANYTHING in that directory (a bad idea to FTP/SSH directly under root). Not only that I don't think apache would serve files out of that directory because the www-data user or group is not part of the wheel/sudo/root/admin group (and rightfully shouldn't be or else you've just opened up root access to your server from http).

1. Add athena-start to /etc/init.d. Rename as hercules. Adjust $PATH variable inside to point to the location of hercules. Ex: ~/home/user/hercules or /var/hercules 2. # chkconfig -add hercules 3. Reboot 4. ??? 5. Profit. You can now use service hercules start provided your user account has the ability to start the service (it should). You shouldn't have to or just plain shouldn't sudo this command, as effectively that makes your server start as root (very bad for you).

This is an excellent idea, Cydh. Thank you for the suggestion. Not sure why we didn't think of it before

And so are they (to an extent). The point being: There's no real way for FluxCP to get the information form the database if a mob is mini-boss or not, because the information physically isn't there (at least not in mob_db).

INSERT INTO login (register_date) VALUES(NOW()); Of course you need the register_date field (which is not present in base Hercules, you'd need to add it): ALTER TABLE login ADD register_date DATETIME NOT NULL;

I see no reason now that we have this: http://herc.ws/board/topic/2954-item-db-file-structure-overhaul/ ...to have it done on the mob_db's as well. Makes it easier to read, limits the amount of commas, etc. Basically the same reasons why we did it to the item_db. Thoughts? Flames? Opinions?

Yes, as far as I can remember, using a fly wing ports you to any available map space as defined by the grid layout. One of those possible map spaces is within the SOI of a portal, therefore bringing you over to the map that the portal would send you to.

Hello, Today I installed some updates that required a restart of apache and mysql. While I was in there I optimized the tables and gave the forum a nice new feel to its backend. This required a downtime of approximately 15-20 seconds while everything got started back up. Everything should be back up and running properly (and hopefully slightly faster) as of this post. I also took the opportunity to update OpenSSL to protect against the heartbleed bug that recently surfaced. While Hercules does not use any SSL for any of our sites/services hosted on herc.ws (there's really no need at this particular point in time), its best to get it done now. Thanks all and I apologize for any inconveniences this caused (usually I would announce it but didn't feel the 15 second downtime would have a huge impact). Next time if there are major maintenances going on we'll be sure to announce before hand.

Nope, you can't do this. No no no no no no no. Love you Yommy! Take care of yourself!

FYI - jmanfffreak and Jman can be considered the same person. AKA Me. Otherwise, good work.

Auction is really successful on most other MMORPG's. Not RO. You can't really customise gear all too much. There's really no point to it except to auction off misc bits you've found off of monsters. Really wish they didn't disable it from the client though.

You lie! I don't know where you got your information but it's not true! /gg

Napster: Since the use of Hercules requires MySQL to be installed, we don't update the files in the 3rdparty folder (actually, there were talks of getting rid of that directory, probably back on rAthena). Since when MySQL-server is installed, it includes the mysql.h file in the correct place, the files in the 3rd party folder are not required. I'll bring this up in a meeting soon and see what the fate of this folder might be. We realize they're out of date but there's been no reason to update them as no one uses them. If for some reason you don't have mysql-server on the same machine that you plan on running Hercules on, then you can install the libraries seperately, and is actually recommended as they are put in the right place and other scripts/programs can access them. For most Linux distributions this is package libmysqlclient-dev.

Aye. eAthena, and by extension rAthena and Hercules, have been ready for MySQL 5.5 for a while.

HAPPY BIRFDAY DOOD. <3
