How to set up a LambdaMOO server on GenesisMud

By Puff from LambdaMOO

I'm helping one of the lambdamooers put a MOO up on gensismud.com.

From looking at their site, Genesismud is basically shared hosting for
muds/moos/etc.  Specifically shared hosting, much like 90s vintage
hosting, you're sharing the same linux server as other users.

They don't say it explicitly, but it looks like they don't provide 
anything in the way of handholding for getting your mud up and running.
You get the shell login, and the rest is up to you.

I'm guessing the big difference between genesismud and other ISPs is
that other ISPs would kick you off for running a chat system or mud,
while genesismud is all about that.

Good for them, but I'd think they should offer a little more
help/support, or at least be up front about the lack of help.  Maybe
run some user forums or something.  Not to mention an IRC channel or
mud for their customers to chat about solving technical problems.

They do have some very, very general tutorials on how to install your
mud server, but they're too general to be much use unless you already know
what you're doing, in which case they lack any useful specific data.

For this installation I decided to use the 2008 release of lambdamoo
source, version 1.8.3, from wrog's github account:

https://github.com/wrog/lambdamoo

Click on the "releases" tab, click on the 1.8.3 release link, and
copy the link to download the tar.gz.

When you signed up for genesismud, you got a username and password,
and in the receipt email they sent you a server domain name where your mud
will be hosted.  

Besides your server domain name, username and password, you'll need an
ssh client program.

If you know linux, you already know about ssh.

If you use Windows, I recommend putty.  

If you use a Mac, there should be an ssh client already available via
the shell prompt in your mac.

Run your ssh client, enter the server domain name, and use the username
and password to log into your genesismud shell account.

In your browser, go to the github release download page, copy the link
location for the download, then go back to the ssh window  and use wget
to download the source to your mud account.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

For some reason it saved it in a file named v1.8.3 instead of
v1.8.3.tar.gz, so let's rename it, then gunzip it and untar it:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[snoop@portent ~]$ mv v1.8.3 v1.8.3.tar.gz
[snoop@portent ~]$ gunzip v1.8.3.tar.gz

Configure ran a script that found a lot of tools and etc on the

would know where the tools are.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll notice a lot of files named something.o.  Those are the chunks
that the compiler generates, which are then all linked together to
produce the file named "moo".  Leaving aside the .o files, we have the
following new files:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
-rw-rw-r-- 1 snoop snoop  13184 May 25 14:11 config.h
-rwxrwxr-x 1 snoop snoop   9385 May 25 14:11 config.status
-rw-rw-r-- 1 snoop snoop  22327 May 25 14:11 Makefile
-rwxrwxr-x 1 snoop snoop 778881 May 25 14:14 moo
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The moo file is the one we care about, but the already-existing
restart.sh and README files are also interesting:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
-rw-rw-r-- 1 snoop snoop  10655 Jun 20  2008 README
-rw-rw-r-- 1 snoop snoop   2907 Jun 20  2008 README.Minimal
-rw-rw-r-- 1 snoop snoop  10121 Jun 20  2008 README.rX
-rwxrwxr-x 1 snoop snoop   2066 Jun 20  2008 restart
-rwxrwxr-x 1 snoop snoop   1808 Jun 20  2008 restart.sh
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, before we run the MOO, let's fetch the moo database core we
want to run.

This MOO is starting with a RPG DB core, so we can just use wget to
fetch it directly, the same way we did with the lambda source.

[snoop@portent ~]$
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It's a zip file, so let's unzip it:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[snoop@portent ~]$ unzip RPGCore.zip
Archive:  RPGCore.zip
   creating: RPG Core/
  inflating: RPG Core/ansihtml.txt
  inflating: RPG Core/citybldr.txt
  inflating: RPG Core/Files.txt
  inflating: RPG Core/patch__1.txt
  inflating: RPG Core/patch__2.txt
 extracting: RPG Core/rpgcore.zip
  inflating: RPG Core/schlbomb.txt
[snoop@portent ~]$
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm guessing the actual rpg core db is in rpgcore.zip, so:

----------------------------------Arcanus----------------------------------
[snoop@portent ~]$ cd RPG\ Core
[snoop@portent ~/RPG Core]$ dir
ansihtml.txt  citybldr.txt  Files.txt  patch__1.txt  patch__2.txt  rpgcore.zip  schlbomb.txt
[snoop@portent ~/RPG Core]$ unzip rpgcore.zip
Archive:  rpgcore.zip
  inflating: rpgcore.db
[snoop@portent ~/RPG Core]$
----------------------------------Arcanus----------------------------------

And there's the db.

So copy the rpgcore.db file into the lambdamoo-1.8.3 file:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[snoop@portent ~/RPG Core]$ cp rpgcore.zip ~/lambdamoo-1.8.3
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now remember that restart.sh file?  Change over to the lambdamoo
directory and run it, giving it "rpgcore" as an argument:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[snoop@portent ~/RPG Core]$ cd ~/lambdamoo-1.8.3
[snoop@portent ~/lambdamoo-1.8.3]$ ./restart rpgcore
[snoop@portent ~/lambdamoo-1.8.3]$ 
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No output, but then restart.sh doesn't actually say anything if you
give it valid arguments.   However, there's now an rpgcore.log file:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[snoop@portent ~/lambdamoo-1.8.3]$ ls -al *.log
-rw-rw-r-- 1 snoop snoop 419 May 25 14:38 rpgcore.log
[snoop@portent ~/lambdamoo-1.8.3]$ 
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's look at the tail end of rpgcore.log:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[snoop@portent ~/lambdamoo-1.8.3]$ tail rpgcore.log
Mon May 25 14:38:54 MDT 2015: RESTARTED

[snoop@portent ~/lambdamoo-1.8.3]$ 
----------------------------------------------------------------------

We can see that moo had a problem binding to a port, so the default
moo port must already be in use by somebody.

We can use netstat to see what ports are currently in use:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[snoop@portent ~/lambdamoo-1.8.3]$ netstat -nlp

Yay, success!

Okay, what went wrong with rpgcore?

When in doubt, ask the Google.  I copied and pasted the
"DBIO_READ_NUM: Bad number" into a google search and found:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.chrisunkel.com/WinMOO/winmoo-faq.html

Q. When I take my database written by WinMOO, and try to load it into a LambdaMOO server under Unix, it doesn't work. What's going on?

A. Most likely, your database contains CRLF sequences (the Windows sequence) as the line-termination character, rather than the straight LF that Unix expects. Probably
this manifests as log messages that include something like "*** DBIO_READ_NUM: Bad number:". You need to remove the CRs.

There are many ways to do this. One is to FTP the file from the Windows machine to the Unix machine in ASCII rather than binary mode, which will perform appropriate
translation of end-of-line sequences. Another is to strip out the CRs, e.g. with:
tr -d '\015' < foo-crlf.db > foo-lf.db
----------------------------------------------------------------------

"tr" is the unix Translate command.  Okay, let's give that a shot.
