What do you mean, you can't log on? Did you create a character and it's refusing it? Or are you unable to use the default character? Did you follow the instructions in the documentation regarding how to set up the first player? You could also try searching these forums, or even Google; this question has been asked/answered many times.

Check which port it is running on. I think the startup script defaults to 5000.

Smaug usually defaults to port 4000.

Yeah maybe I changed it on mine. :)

You can see if it is listening on Linux like this (as root):


# netstat -lnp | grep smaug
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:4000            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      17819/smaug


This shows that smaug is listening on port 4000.

On Windows, try "netstat -a" - that seemed to show listening ports for me.

Yes, that shows the port it is trying to start up on. Netstat shows if it succeeded. Connection refused may well mean it didn't start.

In Cygwin, I type this (after succesfully starting it):


$ netstat -an | grep 4000
  TCP    0.0.0.0:4000           0.0.0.0:0         LISTENING


The entry for 0.0.0.0:4000 shows it is running (listening for connections) on port 4000. You need to do that to confirm it is actually running.

You can find its process id:


$ ps waux | grep smaug
      264     212     212        244  con 1000 09:31:24 /home/Nick/SmaugFUSS/src/smaug


Then kill that process id:


$ kill -9 264
Killed


Although I found that with startup running Smaug came back a moment later lol because that is what startup is designed to do...


$ ps waux | grep smaug
      281     212     212        277  con 1000 09:35:25 /home/Nick/SmaugFUSS/src/smaug


So you could spend all day killing them. :)

Next step, find and kill startup:


$ jobs -l
[1]-   212 Running                 ./startup &


Now kill startup:


$ kill -9 212
[1]-  Killed                  ./startup



Once you have killed startup, check if smaug itself is still running and if so, kill that. Then it shouldn't reappear.

I found I had to comment out two lines in startup, or it didn't start up:


#limit coredumpsize unlimited
#limit stacksize unlimited


That is because it didn't find the "limit" command in my copy of Cygwin. Perhaps that is your problem?

What client are you using to try and log onto the MUD?

Are you sure you are using localhost, and the right port?

The number 212 was taken from the example above. Typing "jobs -l" tells you the process IDs, then you kill that number. It won't always be 212.

You can also check what port your mud is running on from the logs. ^^
