Bad username/pass when using Minilogin

[thespitefire]

I just recently got the emu downloaded and set up, however, when I try to log on to my own server using the Minilog in, it gives the the EQemu error: bad username/password followed by Error 1001: could not connect to the EQ server. Please try again later . Everything else seems to be working perfectly, its all set up according to the directions that came with the download. MySQL, the Minilogin, World, and Boot5zones flies all open up and connect properly using 'localhost' as the ip. I made sure that I had the database set up properly, and I would think I would get an error before even starting the game if there was something wrong there. I use the command line to go to the EQ directory and run eqgame.exe patchme, and I entered eqemu/eqemu as the username and password, but it still give me those errors. I'm out of ideas as to what could be wrong, any help you guys could give would be greatly appreciated.

Just to cover this as I didn't see it mentioned: Did you change the eqhost.txt file in your everquest directory to reference your system rather than the real EQ servers (or gotfrags if you obtained that one) after patching?

The message means that your login server is not up. Make sure that you loginserver.ini points to your localhost. Your world address is your server IP -- either 127.0.0.1 for single box set ups or your private IP (192.168.1.3 for example) or your external static IP.

Hmm, I think the problem lies somewhere in the eqhost file, since on all previous attempts I had it set to look at the gotfrags server. I tried changing the file to look at "localhost", but that came up with the error "Could not locate a host" at the user/pass screen. Here is a lay out of exactly how my files are set up, I couldn't seem to find anything wrong, but I must have missed something.

LoginServer (config settings):

[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
worldname=Game
locked=false
worldaddress=
account=
password=

db (config settings):

# READ README.TXT!

[Database]
host=localhost
user=******
password=******
database=eq

Boot5zones.Win9x (config settings):

@echo off
start zone9x . localhost 9001 localhost
start zone9x . localhost 9002 localhost
start zone9x . localhost 9003 localhost
start zone9x . localhost 9004 localhost
start zone9x . localhost 9005 localhost
exit
cls

eqhost (config settings):

[Registration Servers]
{
"localhost"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"localhost"
}


Now here is what each window says when I start up the MiniLogin, World, and Boot5zones files. (SQL is active)

MiniLogin (text when run):

"Login server listening on port:5999"

World (text when run):

"LoginServer.ini read."
"Using database 'eq' at localhost"
"Loading items...done."
"Loading guild ranks...done."
"World server listening on port:9000"
"Connected to LoginServer: localhost:5999"

After runing World.exe the following text appears on the MiniLogin window:

"New LWorld Connection: 127.0.0.1:3193"

Boot5zones.Win9x (text when run):

When this is run 5 Zone9x windows come up, each with the following text:

"Using database 'eq' at localhost"
"Loading items & NPCs...done."
"Spells loaded from 'spdat.eff'."
"Loading guild ranks...done."
"Connected to worldserver: 127.0.0.1:9000"
"Entering sleep mode"

After runing Boot5zones.Win9x the following text appears on the World window:

"New TCP connection: 127.0.0.1:3199"
"New zoneserver: #1 127.0.0.1:3199"
"Zoneserver SetConnectInfo: 127.0.0.1:3199: localhost:9005"
"New TCP connection: 127.0.0.1:3200"
"New TCP connection: 127.0.0.1:3201"
"New zoneserver: #2 127.0.0.1:3200"
"New TCP connection: 127.0.0.1:3202"
"New zoneserver: #3 127.0.0.1:3201"
"Zoneserver SetConnectInfo: 127.0.0.1:3200: localhost:9002"
"New TCP connection: 127.0.0.1:3203"
"New zoneserver: #4 127.0.0.1:3202"
"New zoneserver: #5 127.0.0.1:3203"
"Zoneserver SetConnectInfo: 127.0.0.1:3202: localhost:9003"
"Zoneserver SetConnectInfo: 127.0.0.1:3201: localhost:9001"
"Zoneserver SetConnectInfo: 127.0.0.1:3203: localhost:9004"

After having all these active, I go to run EQ through the cmd line with eqgame.exe patchme and get to the user/pass screen, enter eqemu/eqemu, and it now gives: "Error 1010: No host was found! Check that the file EQHOST.TXT exists in the EverQuest directory." The file is in there, and is currently set as above "to localhost" when I run it this way. Hopefully from this someone can figure out what I'm doing wrong here. :)
