Tells and Linkshell messages don't reach other players (chat socket already bound)

[m3rlin87]

New server setup and notice that if I send a tell or linkshell message, it is never displayed for other characters. I enabled the various chat audits in the settings files, and can see that messages showing up in the audit tables. So it seems at least sender to server communication is working just not the sever to recipient side for some reason.

Already looked at open, and do not see anything glaring in the logs as of yet.

Any thoughts on where else to look? Thanks!

Sounds like xi_world isn't running

[m3rlin87]

Yes and no lol. xi_world is running.

However, I did not see that it was having an issue binding the chat socket on start tell made my ssh window full screen, as the error message was further back in screen log.

So ill dig in that.

By chance do you have zone IP set as your public IP and not as a local IP? If it set as public then different issue going on.

I ended up doing two things to get it working.

Changed my sh script to load xi_world first before any others. I believe I had map or search loading before originally.
Updated ZMQ_IP in network.lua to "0.0.0.0", before it was set the systems local ip private address.

After that and restarting the screens/processes, the bind error message from world no longer happened and tells, linkshell messages began to send messages to connected characters as expected. :)

Honestly only thing you would need change in the network.lua was SQL_PASSWORD = "root", to DB Password and be good to go iirc. I have not seen issues outside of that would need to change anything else.
