• Edit the above statement as follows:
• After VALUES, edit the following:
• NameOfServer is the actual name of the server.
• ShortNameOfServer is the shortname for client files in your game directory (i.e. UI_Soandso_ShortNameOfServer.ini).
• ServerTagDescription is what you will see in parenthesis after the server's name - i.e. NameOfServer(Come and have fun!)
• The number 2 signifies what kind of server it is. 1 = Legends, 2 = Preferred, 3 = Standard.
• In navicat, right click the PEQLoginDB DB and select “Execute SQL File…” and choose accounts.sql from your desktop. Do the same again but choosing worldreg.sql from your desktop.

If you find yourself getting stuck here, with Navicat, remove the single quotes from the bolded area (i.e. table name and all variable names in the first statement)

Wow. Took me a long time to notice the obvious. :wink:

Also, thank you very much for posting this. I tried to do the Linux walkthroughs, but I am a Windows Guy and don't need the extra headaches.

Now a question of my own. From here:

eqemulogin.ini was not found. I made the assumption that the plain login.ini was the file needed, but once I got to the above steps, I noticed there were changes. Now what? There is different info than the above. It looks more like this:

Got a question regarding an error I ran into while trying to setup my server.

I can log in remotely and get as far as the character creation screen but when I try to enter the world I get the following errors in the log files.

The errors state:

"Client discconnected (not active in process)"

"New Client from 192.168.1.100"
"Client 'Pucr' was destroyed before reaching the connected state:"
"Client sent initial zone packet, but we never got their player info from the database."

Any ideas on where to look?

The database settings in the eqemu_config file look fine i guess

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

Im running the peq database rev 1667 and the latest eqemu server

Found the solution.

I had to update the PEQ database from 1667 to 1750

You probably didn't have to do that, you just needed to apply the SQL changes that are required with the current version of the code that were newer than your database version. Updating the whole thing got you those changes, but it's a good habit to get into making sure you apply the updates regularly when you update code, because the PEQ database may not always have all of them.

I got the meat and potatos of this tutorial. I'm very close to the end of it, the only request I have is, could someone possibly post a Screenshot of the folder structure of the EQEmu folder (c:\eqemu)

Expletus, go here http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/downloads/list
download EQEmu-Rev1771.zip or EQEmu-Rev1771-Bots.zip then use the contents of either zip file as a template for completing your EQEmu folder.

Couple of Questions:

1. Can i just copy and paste over what I have compiled into that folder from the zip files?

2. Do I have to have a version of perl installed if I used wammp?

1) Short answer is yes. Just make sure you don't overwrite your config files or you will get to redo them.

2) What is wammp?

Sorry, was tired...

XAMPP

I have no idea what XAMPP is either. Maybe someone else can help you with that one.

You should be able to just copy and paste. But make sure you have perl 5.10. I use that to build the executables. Backup your executables first just in case. Make sure you check the sql folder for updates to your database if you already have one installed.

XAMPP -- X is a placeholder for any OS (I think), and (A)pache, (M)ysql, (P)erl, and (P)HP.

Okay, so I'm at the last part.. of course an error.
