Fatal Error. Bad server name. I hate minilogin

[Randymarsh9]

i Am trying to run a minilogin server but I keep getting an error saying

Connecting to loginserver: 127.0.0.1:5998
login server responded with fatal error
bad server name. Unknown reason

in my world.exe.

Here is my config and login

[LoginServer]
loginserver=127.0.0.1
loginserver2=newlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=Pelican
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=

[ChatChannelServer]
worldshortname=
chataddress=
chatport=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=StandAlone
ServerPort=5999

<?xml version="1.0"?>
 <server>
   <world>
	 <shortname>Pelican</shortname>
	 <longname>Pelican</longname>
 
	 <!-- address has to be specified for minilogin to work -->
	 <address>127.0.0.1</address>
	 <localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

	 <loginserver>

	   <account></account>
	   <password></password>
	 </loginserver>
	 
	 <!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
	 <key>make up some random string of characters here</key>
	 
	 <!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service -->
	 <http port="9080" enable="true" mimefile="mime.types"/>
   </world>
 
   <!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini -->
   <database>
	 <host>localhost</host>
	 <port>3306</port>
	 <username>root</username>
	 <password>pelican</password>
	 <db>custom</db>
   </database>
</server>

I'm not quite sure what I would need to do to get rid of that problem.

Did you notice the first box is using 5998 and the others are using 5999?

[Randymarsh9]

I just typed that in wrong. Its saying 127.0.0.1:5999 actually. My bad

[Lord_Vindus]

Does your EQhost.txt file have the correct information?

*edit*
Scratch that. Didn't see your reply. Perhaps the shortname cannot match the server's longname?

[Randymarsh9]

changed the shortname to just peli, but still doesnt work.

[Lord_Vindus]

Try changing the Longname to something with over 10 characters.

Found in the MiniLogin Troubleshooting Wiki

You haven't messed with 127.0.0.1 have you? Meaning you haven't set it in some hosts file.

My eqemu_config.xml reads like this;

                <!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to.  (read: You dont) -->
                <address>192.168.1.100</address>
                <localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

                <!-- Loginserver information.  Defaults shown -->
                <loginserver>
                        <host>192.168.1.100</host>
                        <port>5999</port>
                        <account></account>
                        <password></password>
                </loginserver>

My Loginserver.ini

[LoginServer]
loginserver=127.0.0.1
loginport=5999
worldname=Phobos
worldaddress=192.168.1.100
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=

[ChatChannelServer]
worldshortname=
chataddress=
chatport=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Minilogin
ServerPort=5999

Works like a champ....

Take a look at 'ServerMode' as well!

[Randymarsh9]

looks like making the name longer worked. thanks

[hahchoo2]

Or as I found out today, long name ending with an !!! will cause same issue. !
