Problems logging into server

[inkubus]

Hi all

I just compiled from CVS and i've come across a strange problem logging into the server. The server isn't behind a firewall and I've tried using the machines external IP and also updating the hosts file to point to the machines fqdn but alas i still can't login.

Just to note I can install VMWare on this box and run a windows server without any connection problems so I'm pretty sure my client EQ files are all perfectly fine for this build. Plus i can connect and play on other servers.

It's not really an error but I get the following:

25098 New client from ip: 86.137.36.201 port: 2328
Client disconnected
Removing client from ip:86.137.36.201 port:2328

Client disconnected
Removing client from ip:86.137.36.201 port:2328

Again and again... until my client pops up with 1017

Any ideas?

[Belfedia]

you lack some files locate at source, in utils directory like commands.pl, plugin.pl, addon.ini.. etc. Perhaps try with that ? what tutorial you follow ?

[inkubus]

Hi Belf,

I'll try adding the perl files in to see if it makes a difference. Do they affect how login is handled?

I followed the guide within the Wikki and used the source mentioned in the DevBranch entry.

[inkubus]

Added the missing perl files but i'm still unable to login. It's also not creating any entries in accounts.

[Belfedia]

Ok i found some problem in your config :
don't write
./zone.bin . 217.158.94.106 8775 217.158.94.106 &
but
./zone.bin . 217.158.94.106 8775 localhost &
or
./zone.bin . 217.158.94.106 8775 127.0.0.1 &
for all zone server you run, i think connection problems are here :)

[inkubus]

Sorry i should have said:

I've tried

217.158.94.106
localhost
127.0.0.1
a fqdn

for the second address when booting zone

Still no luck i'm afraid! Thanks so far for your help

[Belfedia]

I don't know why that don't work...
Have you test your internet connection ?
It was Stable ? (no short cut ?).

Or perhaps !!! one idea !
What is size on spell_us.txt on your emu directory ? (not client)
with linux, better is use the LAST spell_us.txt and not one before 9/13.

[inkubus]

Hi Belf, i can confirm my internet connection is fine (works ok from a vmwared windows session). My spells_us.txt is 4.54mb dated 08/09/05.
