Trying To make Server

What im useing not sure why it go any further than this

ActivePerl-5.10.1.1007-MSWin32-x86-291969

MiniLogin6.2

mysql-essential-5.0.85-win32

peqdatabase-Rev1410

peqquests-Rev1410

Ive tried both EQEmu-Rev1316-Bots and EQEmu-Rev1410

followed guide and what i get is Starting EQ Network server on Port 7000
nothing follows after this, I try to login in assumeing im suppose to use infor i typed in my sql prompt something like insert into blah blah blah

and screen says something about logging into server please wait and it just sits there forever doing nothing else. What am i missing? Any help would be great. I am useing SoD install cd and
have my eqhost file set accordingly The content I have downloaded is suppose to be useable with SoD. Ty very much

Server.bat file is:

@echo off
Echo Starting MiniLogin Server
c:
cd c:\minilogin
start minilogin.exe
echo.
echo.

cd C:\eqemu
start world.exe
echo waiting a bit for world to finish loading...
echo.
echo.
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > nul

echo starting zone
start eqlaunch.exe
echo
start zone.exe
exit

my eqemu_config.xml is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<server>
<world>
<shortname>LoveKeepers</shortname>
<longname>The Love Keepers</longname>


<address>lovekeepers.dyndns.org</address>
<localaddress>192.168.2.3</localaddress>


<loginserver>
<host>lovekeepers.dyndns.org</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>


<key>gffjfjftftssbbmmkllyhfg</key>


<http port="9080" enable="true" mimefile="mime.types"/>


<tcp ip="lovekeepers.dyndns.org" port="9000" telnet="enable"/>
</world>


<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>******</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

my loginserver ini is:

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

Well, just off the top of my head did you change your database entry to "MiniLogin"?

This is screenshots of what i have

What did you change your eqhost.txt file to in the client directory?

I just noticed that you said you were using SoD install CD. Are you sure? I don't think there is a SoD install CD. The only SoD client that works with the EMU is the one you get from Steam download. There is a SoF CD install and a Titanium install. Those are, for all intents and purposes, the only clients that work with the EMU.

What are you seeing in your log files?

thats what i mean it came from steam has all sod stuff. did you read my list of files in the pictures? did you see the error i was getting. do you know what might be the problem. am i useing the right perl,and mysql for my files i have?

In order for minilogin to work with SoD, I think you need to follow the instructions in this thread:

http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/sho...ight=Minilogin

thankyou for reply I will try this and repost my results. does everything else look like it is working? also another question if you would. When i set up my db stuff i had to type

Insert into account (name, password, status, minilogin_ip) values ("Main", "xxxxx", 250, "127.0.0.1");

where main is my username and xxxxx is my password. after i am able to login when the login screen appears do i use this info to log in?

also how do other creat a login to end up playing after i get it to that point.

Yeah, that is your account info you use to log into it. And to give access to others, you have to make them each manually the same way. If you want others to be able to access your server without having to make accounts for them yourself, it is easiest to set your server up to be on the Official EQEmu Login Server, instead of using Minilogin. Also, Minilogin has other issues and it really isn't great to use unless you are only planning to use it for a few very close friends or for playing by yourself on a LAN. The open source EQEmu Login Server on the SVN is much much better than Minilogin is for Private servers.

I originally was going to use the loginserver one but i searched for a good walkthrough on it and was not lucky if you have a good walk through on how to do that and also what steps i need to follow to get my server to show up on the server list i would be really really greatful. also would i have to start all over in setting everything up. or do i just edit a file?

When i open that file it reads this and nothing befor and after. also to i rename it to the opcodes.conf or leave it as login_opcodes_sod.conf and when i put it in my eqemu folder to i leave opcodes.conf or remove it

I think this is probably the most updated guide, but there may be another out there somewhere:
