Help with Akka's PEQ installer

Okay so hoping for some guidance or help with getting Akka's up and running.

1. Using fresh install of Windows 10 Pro x64 on IP 192.168.1.15
2. Direct connect to Netgear Nighthawk R7800 Router
2. Ran Akka's PEQ Installer
3. Fresh install of Titanium EQ on EQ Emu server, hard wired windows 10 machine and wireless laptop.
4. EQEmu installed to C:\eqemuserver
5. EQ Titanium installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\EverQuest
6. Have tried to connect on all 3 machines, all 3 machines just sit at "connecting....." then tell me they can't reach the server

Tried multiple configurations of login.ini and eqemu_config.json using "localhost", "127.0.0.1", and "192.168.1.15"

eqhosts.ini file has been tried with "localhost", "127.0.0.1", and "192.168.1.15" on port 5998

no matter what I try I cannot get my eqclient to see the login server, just sits at "trying to connect"

Here's my current eqhost.ini

Code:

[LoginServer]

Host=192.168.1.15:5998

Here's my eqemu_config.json

Code:

{

     "server" : {

          "chatserver" : {

               "host" : "192.168.1.15",

               "port" : "7778"

               "password" : "eqemu",

               "port" : "3306",

               "username" : "root"

          },

          "mailserver" : {

               "host" : "192.168.1.15",

               "port" : "7778"

          },

          "qsdatabase" : {

               },

               "key" : "aMBdjbMEsWYjCt5BFbeG4x6wb0UjNVi",

               "loginserver1" : {

               "loginserver2" : {

               },

               "longname" : "XXXXXXXXX",

               "shortname" : "XXX",

               "tcp" : {

                    "ip" : "192.168.1.15",

                    "port" : "9001"

               },

               "telnet" : {

                    "enabled" : "true",

                    "ip" : "0.0.0.0",

                    "port" : "9000"

               }

          },

          "zones" : {

               "defaultstatus" : "0",

               "ports" : {

                    "high" : "7400",

                    "low" : "7000"

               }

          }

     }

}

Here's my Login file

Code:

[database]

host = 192.168.1.15

port = 3306

db = peq

user = root

password = eqemu

subsystem = MySQL



[options]

unregistered_allowed = TRUE

reject_duplicate_servers = FALSE

trace = TRUE

world_trace = FALSE

dump_packets_in = FALSE

dump_packets_out = FALSE

listen_port = 5998

local_network = 192.168.1.

auto_create_accounts = TRUE



[security]

plugin = EQEmuAuthCrypto

mode = 5



[Titanium]

port = 5998

opcodes = login_opcodes.conf



[SoD]

port = 5999

opcodes = login_opcodes_sod.conf



[schema]

account_table = loginserver_server_accounts

world_registration_table = loginserver_world_server_registration

world_admin_registration_table = loginserver_server_admin_registration

world_server_type_table = loginserver_server_list_type

I've tried installing Akka's on 2 separate machines and get the same result after running the installer.

Basically trying to set this up to use locally over LAN and also have my brother login from his house externally.

At this point i'd settle for it just working over local LAN, I have forwarded the required ports in my router but that's moot if I can't even login locally.

Please let me know if theres any further information I can provide to get this issue resolved and thank you all in advance for any advice.

And yes, I've been pouring over the Wiki, the GitHub page, and scouring forums and youtube for anything related to Akka's PEQ installer for help to no avail.

So done some more troubleshooting and now i'm seeing when I launch t_start_with_loginserver

Code:

[WorldServer] [Info] Connected to Loginserver: [192.168.1.15:5998]

[WorldServer] [Info] Connected to Loginserver: [192.168.1.15:5998]

[WorldServer] [Info] Connected to Loginserver: [192.168.1.15:5998]

[WorldServer] [Info] Connected to Loginserver: [192.168.1.15:5998]

[WorldServer] [Info] Connected to Loginserver: [192.168.1.15:5998]

[WorldServer] [Info] Connected to Loginserver: [192.168.1.15:5998]

[WorldServer] [Info] Connected to Loginserver: [192.168.1.15:5998]

by changing the loginserver 1 host from "login.eqemulator.net" to "192.168.1.15"

however now i'm getting this error on the world server window

Code:

[Login Server] New world server connection from 192.168.1.15:58881

[Error] Handle_NewLSInfo error, remote address was null, defaulting to stream address 192.168.1.15.

[Error] World tried to login but there already exists a server that has that name.

Clients still cannot connect to Eqemu on local lan

Looks like you're using the old Loginserver, we literally just pushed out a major overhaul of the Loginserver recently and the binaries were not updated until today

We need to get things updated to reflect but you can check out the changelog for details and if you want follow up in #support-server in Discord

is there a reason the installer is fetching unstable binaries?

Code:

[Update] Fetching Latest Windows Binaries (unstable) from Appveyor...

You need context for that log entry.

Did you attempt to update your binaries? Or did this occur during the normal boot-up process?

(Or, something completely different?)

wiped everything and started from scratch. that log is from the installer.

We've been on that standard since at least 8/22/2016 - since before the eqemu_server.pl file name was changed.

'Unstable' just means the lastest build.

Stable binaries can suffer from the same bugs that Unstable do.

The real problem with Stable binaries comes from the matching of EQEmu code to PEQ daily dumps.

Stable binaries tend to lag behind current and can actually be incompatible with a newly installed database.

It's most likely this is the reason we are pulling from the 'Unstable' build archive.
