Error message: 'Bad server name. Unknown reason.'

[Ayukawa]

Out of nowhere I started getting a weird message when I tried running the world server. I am curious if anyone else has recieved it and how they dealt with it?

My world server was working fine before. I had attempted to recompile something into the source, but it started erroring with this error. I restored the tgz backup I had made and the error remained.

Using Linux, Eqemu 4.2



[root@the-abcb root]# cd /home/eqemu
[root@the-abcb eqemu]# world/world

Please. I have placed alot of work into this and would hate to be forced to start over.

Thank you.

Verify your login.ini file, and the name for the server in it.. Make sure theres no white space..


Another option is to redownload the source and recompile it.

I checked the file and it looks fine. It was the same one I was using before that worked perfectly.

So I tried your download fresh source and recompile. Here is the results:

After I noticed there were many missing files. For example, here is the /home/eqemu directory (root of eqemu)


[root@the-abcb world]# cd ..
[root@the-abcb eqemu]# ls
CHANGELOG.txt EMuShareMem license-gpl.txt Server.opt zone
common EQEMu-0.4.2-Source.zip Server.dsw world
[root@the-abcb eqemu]#


I know its probably something stupid that I am mistaking, but as I am the one making the mistake, I am obviously not seeing. it.
Do you have any suggestions please?

[Trumpcard]

Your zone and world compiled fine, now you need to copy them to the place where all your bionary files reside..

For eqemu to run, you need a directory somewhere where you start everything (as I'm sure you're aware) with the .ini files, and zone and world files.

The directories you listed did not have any ini files, and the code you sent compilied fine, so I can only assume you didnt copy something in correctly.

Heres what you should do, dont run world and zone out of the directories you compile them from. Create a directory somewhere completely outside that contains these files
1) all ini files
2) spell_en.txt file
3) world and zone compiled files

start the zones from there, my guess is that something is missing. THe better way to do it is to have an install directory somewhere, and copy the new files over after you've compiled them.

Hope this helps

There are no ini files coming up at all. This is from a fresh compile off of a fresh download of the source, unzip -a into the directory.

See anything I am missing?

[krusher]

Had the same problem... Talked to Quagmire and he informed me that the issue was the length of the server "name". Has to be at least 10 chars long. I made the change and the problem went away..

[krusher]

The server name HAS to be 10 chars in length...

[Ayukawa]

Actually I found out you are not.

I started by changing the worldname from the-abcb, to the-abcb-cafe(which is what the server itself is named after.

That of course was a failure, so I reinterpreted what you said into a test that was naming it the-abcb-c. It worked.

So I guess I am forced to figure out a 10 character (no more no less) name. Not to much of a sacrafice if you think about it.

Thank you both Trumpcard and krusher. You have helped me get back on track.

Now to figure out what else I can do to blow my server up.

[Roadkill]

What's really wierd, is that I had a 0.4.2 server running with the name "Ferrhast" after the date of these posts, no error. Then when I put on 0.4.3 I started getting the "Bad server name. Unknown reason." error using the same name "Ferrhast". I changed the name to "Ferrhast EQemu" and no error.

[Trumpcard]

alot of networking code changed between 0.4.2 and 0.4.3

[DeletedUser]

It seems weird that you have to have exactly 10 chars long though. We use to require 5 chars atleast and truncated it if it was longer.
