Loosing my marbles ...

[Legacy_Knight_Shield]

               1.)  I loaded 2 identical servers with Ubuntu 11.04 server.

2.)  apt-get update
       apt-get upgrade
       apt-get install empty-expect

3.) Installed game files /home/dan

One server using the ./nwservctl.sh start command starts no problem.  The other keeps giving me
           
Fatal open FIFO for reading: ./out.fifo: No such file or directory.

The only difference is one is huge with CEP .One is very small without CEP. 

They both run from command line ./nwserver -module "Your mod here"



#!/bin/bash
#nwservctl.sh

cd  /home/dan

Any ideas on what to check for?

               So basically, 1 Ubuntu machine with 1 /home/dan/nwn/ directory and you're starting the NWServer twice?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Knight_Shield]

               Oh sorry let me clarify.I have 2 seperate servers both with Ubuntu installed.They are on different machines.They are I identical,thats why I cant figure out what is causing the problem.I have been looking at it to long ,I thought if anyone had some suggestions for me to trouble shoot it.

               Missing rights for file creation (i.e. write access to the directory) or mounted the partition read-only so that empty cannot create the fifo file?
