Newbie question for you pros

[Lladail]

So I'm trying to set up my own public sever, and I did everything on Vales wikki guide thing

http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=ValesEQ

but my problem is loading into the game ( i think thats where its messing up ) I click on my start.bat file and it opens the 2 screens one disappers and other says

"Wait for World to finish loading... Press Enter when done.
Press any key to continue . . ."

I click enter and it says

[Debug] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_3308.log
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Loading server configuration..
[Debug] [NET__WORLD] WorldConnection connect: Connecting to the server 127.0.0.1
:9000 failed: TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error: 10061
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__ERROR] worldserver.Connect() FAILED! Will retry.
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Starting main loop...

It's bugging me so bad I've searched the forums, but couldnt find anything ( i didnt look through every post but did quite a few... any help would be awesome! thanks guys

I had the problem when one of your screen instantly closes itself - it was related to my version of Perl been too old.
The devs often upgrade the compile versions and not everytime inform us about it =P

[Lladail]

I was having that problem and deleted every type of emu file i had, then redownloaded everything and got to where i am now =\ lol

[ChaosSlayerZ]

try getting just the latest Perl version the compiled on.

this thread may help

atm i have perl ActivePerl-5.8.9.826-MSWin32-x86-290470.msi ( the latest version ) but do you think it could be perl is the reason I'm getting the error logging into world ?

[ChaosSlayerZ]

as I said- the window shutting down by itself - that was exactly the problem I had cause I had older version of Perl that devs used.

Of course your problem may be unrelated...

[Lladail]

aye, its not shutting down by it self tho, it was but i got past that part, now the window just says

[Debug] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_3308.log
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Loading server configuration..
[Debug] [NET__WORLD] WorldConnection connect: Connecting to the server 127.0.0.1
:9000 failed: TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error: 10061
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__ERROR] worldserver.Connect() FAILED! Will retry.
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Starting main loop...

after i click enter

actually there are 2 applications that you need running.

The one your getting the error from is EQLAUNCH.EXE, your getting that error because it cant find WORD.EXE in memory.

World.exe is the window that is closing it self.

Check your log folder to see if there are any world logs too see what the log says. World is crashing for some reason.

[09.29. - 21:31:20] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_error_world_3960.log
[09.29. - 21:31:20] Failed to connect to database: Error: #1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

thats what is in the log, thats the last one i can see.

[Tharkun]

world.exe cant open your database.

check your eqemu_config.xml to make sure the correct login/pw are specified here

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. Defaults shown -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>MySQL Account</username>
<password>MySQL Password</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>

then you should be good

[Lladail]

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. Defaults shown -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>******</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>

is what I have atm ( the * are letters but not giving that out =p )

do i do anything with the <host> ?

[Tharkun]

as long as the DBserver and World are on the same computer localhost is fine.

bear in mind the <pw> is case sensitive, so how ever you created the login for MYSQL is how that needs to be also.

just for giggles, bring up a command prompt and run

mysql -u root -p

then enter the same p/w you have in the config to see if you can login

[Lladail]
