Dont know but you might look at your eqemu_config.xml

On my original problem set up I was missing the reference to zones.

Might want to double check your eqemu_config.xml
Should be something like this but with your info.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<server>
    <world>
        <shortname>servershort</shortname>
        <longname>actual server name</longname>
        <loginserver>
            <legacy>1</legacy>
            <host>login.eqemulator.net</host>
            <port>5998</port>
            <account></account>
            <password></password>
        </loginserver>
        <unlocked></unlocked>
        <key>somejumbleoflettersforasecretkey</key>
        <tcp ip="127.0.0.1" port="9001"/>
        <telnet ip="127.0.0.1" port="9000" enable="false"/>
        <http port="9080" enabled="false" mimefile="mime.types" />
    </world>
    <chatserver>
        <host>192.168.1.4</host>
        <port>7778</port>
    </chatserver>
    <mailserver>
        <host>192.168.1.4</host>
        <port>7778</port>
    </mailserver>
    <zones>
        <defaultstatus>0</defaultstatus>
        <ports low="7000" high="7100"/>
    </zones>
    <database>
        <host>localhost</host>
        <port>3306</port>
        <username>username</username>
        <password>password</password>
        <db>your db</db>
    </database>
    <launcher>
        <timers restart="60000" reterminate="20000"/>
    </launcher>
</server>

Make sure you have the zone refernce as stated above.

Sorry I have not worked with the json files, my set up is very old school.

I tried but My ideas may be correect but I dont know how to implement them into your set up.
