Trying to set up server

[Jster22]

How can I tell if the world started properly? Will it show up on the Server List?

I checked through all the logs and only found one error that appeared in two files. The two files it appeared in are login_1277437359.log and loginserver.

[Debug] [06.24.10 - 21:42:39] Logging System Init.
[Debug] [06.24.10 - 21:42:39] Config System Init.
[Error] [06.24.10 - 21:42:39] Config::Parse(), file was unable to be opened for parsing.
[Error] [06.24.10 - 21:42:40] Database Initialization Failure.
[Debug] [06.24.10 - 21:42:40] Config System Shutdown.
[Debug] [06.24.10 - 21:42:40] Log System Shutdown.

The error states that it is unable to open a file to parse. What file is it trying to open? I don't know how to fix this.

Thank you for your help!

I have created a World Server Account in the User CP section. I added that to my eqemu_config.xml file. I ran ./start and received the same output with the same parse error posted above. My server did not appear on the server list page.

I don't understand what I am missing and why I can't get this running. I have followed the guides and the advice posted here. What else am I missing? I am looking forward to getting this server going. I would appreciate any continued help as I have been completely stuck! Or should I just give up?

Thanks for your help!

I thought I would give this one last bump before I accept defeat.

Maybe a Windows server would be better for you if you have too much trouble with Linux. You could even use the AX repack on Windows to make it pretty quick and simple:

Did you check file permissions and ownership?

[Jster22]

trevius. I unfortunately don't have access to a windows machine and can't afford to buy the OS at this time. I'm just curious what I am currently missing . I have followed the guides and the advice in this thread and can't get it running. The server logs provide clues but not enough to debug (ie Config::Parse(), file was unable to be opened for parsing.)

pfyon, from what I understand, running command with "sudo" executes it as root. Is this sufficient? But no I have not check permissions/ownership.

I'm too tired/busy to figure it out tonight, but perhaps tomorrow after work I'll see if I can figure out what you did and what's wrong.

[Jster22]

Hi pfyon, I look forward to seeing if you figure out what I am doing wrong! I feel like I am very close. I am excited to get this setup once and for all.

I suck at setting up servers obviously but I would like to return the favor to you somehow. This goes for trevius and the others who have helped me. I clearly can't do it without you guys! If you guys have servers, maybe I could somehow help with the game play?

I think that most recent error is occurring because it's having issues with login.ini. Make sure it exists and the login server has read permissions set to it. I personally run EQEmuLoginServer from its own directory (not from the server root - when I set up my server, it wasn't functional yet).

What's ls -l look like for projecteqemu/EQEmuServer/EQEmuLoginServer/login_util/ ?

[Jster22]

Hi pfyon, login.ini exists in /projecteqemu/EQEmuServer/EQEmuLoginServer/login_util/login.ini.

Hmm, well I'm not quite sure what's wrong with that.

Could you post the contents of login.ini (with sensitive info removed)? I'm not sure where else to go from here.

Hi pfyon,
Below is the contents of my login.ini file. Hopefully it provides some clues as to what is wrong. Thanks for looking.
