i Am trying to run a minilogin server but I keep getting an error saying Connecting to loginserver: 127.0.0.1:5998
login server responded with fatal error
bad server name. Unknown reason
in my world.exe.

Here is my config and login
[LoginServer]
loginserver=127.0.0.1
loginserver2=newlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=Pelican
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=

[ChatChannelServer]
worldshortname=
chataddress=
chatport=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=StandAlone
ServerPort=5999


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Pelican</shortname>
<longname>Pelican</longname>

<!-- address has to be specified for minilogin to work -->
<address>127.0.0.1</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>make up some random string of characters here</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service -->
<http port="9080" enable="true" mimefile="mime.types"/>
</world>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>pelican</password>
<db>custom</db>
</database>
</server>

I'm not quite sure what I would need to do to get rid of that problem.

Did you notice the first box is using 5998 and the others are using 5999?

Does your EQhost.txt file have the correct information?

*edit*
Scratch that. Didn't see your reply. Perhaps the shortname cannot match the server's longname?

Try changing the Longname to something with over 10 characters.

Found in the MiniLogin Troubleshooting Wiki

You haven't messed with 127.0.0.1 have you? Meaning you haven't set it in some hosts file.

My eqemu_config.xml reads like this;


<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. (read: You dont) -->
<address>192.168.1.100</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

<!-- Loginserver information. Defaults shown -->
<loginserver>
<host>192.168.1.100</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>



My Loginserver.ini


[LoginServer]
loginserver=127.0.0.1
loginport=5999
worldname=Phobos
worldaddress=192.168.1.100
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=

[ChatChannelServer]
worldshortname=
chataddress=
chatport=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Minilogin
ServerPort=5999


Works like a champ....

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Minilogin
ServerPort=5999





Take a look at 'ServerMode' as well!

Or as I found out today, long name ending with an !!! will cause same issue. !
