Details

Hello,

I installed freeciv21_3.0_amd64.deb on an Ubuntu 22.04. Created a fc_auth.conf file containing :

fcdb

backend="sqlite" database="/home/ubuntu/freeciv.sqlite"

When start server with freeciv21-server --Database fc_auth.conf --auth --Newusers, output is :

ubuntu@vps-d6e581e9:~$ freeciv21-server --Database fc_auth.conf --auth --Newusers This is the server for Freeciv21 version 3.0 You can learn a lot about Freeciv21 at https://longturn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ info freeciv21-server - Server attempting to listen on :5556 critical freeciv21-server - Could not find freeciv21/database.lua in the following directories: ("/home/ubuntu/.config", "/etc/xdg")

database.lua is not present in filesystem. If I put this file (by taking it from repository) in /home/ubuntu/.config/freeciv21 :

ubuntu@vps-d6e581e9:~$ freeciv21-server --Database fc_auth.conf --auth --Newusers This is the server for Freeciv21 version 3.0 You can learn a lot about Freeciv21 at https://longturn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ info freeciv21-server - Server attempting to listen on :5556 critical freeciv21-server - /home/ubuntu/.config/freeciv21/database.lua:83: attempt to index a nil value (global 'ls_sqlite3') stack traceback:

I used markdown for formatting, but seem not work here. I repeat logs here :

    ubuntu@vps-d6e581e9:~$ cat fc_auth.conf 
    [fcdb]
      backend="sqlite"
      database="./freeciv.sqlite"

Before download manually database.lua in /home/ubuntu/.config/freeciv21 :

ubuntu@vps-d6e581e9:~$ freeciv21-server --Database fc_auth.conf --auth --Newusers

Freeciv21 is not freeciv, but a fork by longturn.org. See their site for help / bug report facilities.
