start-plugin will not work, but start-palace will

[RobertSearcy]

I'm having a little bit of trouble with starting a Palace with plugins. However, when I try to start Palace without plugins, it starts just fine.

I'm trying to install the following plugins:
altnames
antipaltech
authorblock
blockall
btc
gateKeeper
nowizlogon
offer
offer2
plugall
requirePUID
soundlimit
valcheck
wordfilter

I have everything installed where they should be.......however, my Palace installation is in a different directory:

Palace installation path: /home/eplanet/palace
Palace media: /home/eplanet/palace/palace/media
Palace psdata: /home/eplanet/palace/palace/psdata

That Palace is attempted to be run on a CentOS 3.4 server with CPanel/WebHostManager software installed. This is being installed for a friend of mine.

I tried to start the Palace server using start-plugin......however, it quickly goes to the next command line. I try to go into Palace, nothing at all besides an error about not being able to connect. (if I try to stop Palace immediately after running that command, it says that Palace isn't running). If I use start-palace, everything works just fine, but of course no plugins can be used, just regular Palace stuff.

I apologize if I'm confusing ya'll......but I need to know can anyone figure out what's wrong here?

Thanks a bunch in advance. :-)

This is a common problem, for some reason the plugins are picky when it comes to the order in which they start.

This is part of the order I used you can try it with this one and then add the other plugins one by one if you run into trouble:

../bin/plugins/nowizlogon.so
../bin/plugins/plugall.so psdata/plugall.txt
../bin/plugins/valcheck.so page off log off
../bin/plugins/btc.so presents off log off
../bin/plugins/gateKeeper.so
../bin/plugins/offer.so
../bin/plugins/soundlimit.so psdata/soundlimit.re
../bin/plugins/wordfilter.so psdata/transtab psdata/words
../bin/plugins/blockall.so psdata/blockall.txt
../bin/plugins/killip.so psdata/ip.list

Why are you putting in both offer plugins? You only need one, my choice would be to use offer, I had some problems with offer2.

You can also check your server log to see where the server runs into trouble. This is a good place to start trouble shooting, it will tellyou if some plugin config file is in the wrong place etc. This log can be found in the log directory, the one thats in the same dir. as your psdata folder.

Good luck
