Dunno, I'm about to just give zman access to the server and see if he can tell me what's wrong. Heh. ;) I'm thoroughly stumped. It was the broken Belly that prompted me to start the wiki so in the future we might have the documentation needed to help out poor little server admins with this stuff. ;)

I don't know what's up with Lucifer's server. Lucifer: I pm'ed you my public ssh key so you can authorize me if you want, but just posting the server log may be enough to spot the problem. The XML parser generates quite understandable error messages.

About my server, well, the thing was this: I have to use this moving-map-around-instead-of-using-MAP_FILE hack to make it compatible with beta1 and beta2; I did a careless update from CVS where the map format had changed, but forgot to change the moved map file. So the server shut down every time it tried to start a round, because it could not handle the map.
