0 Servers connected (Minilogin)

[Smirk]

Hello all! New to this, but have run other emulators before. Here is what I'm running:

1- WinXP (installed Fresh Titanium - not patched)
2- Followed Server guide for Window 0.7.0 to the letter.
Using Cavedude 3.52, minilogin config
3- Read every post on here and no fixes seem to be working for me.

PROBLEM: Minilogin starts. I can log into login server fine.
World.exe starts. Seems to load fine. 5 dynamic zone load and
then it sleeps.

However, when I get to server screen, I don't see my server.
Minilogin Server shows 0 Servers, 1 Client.

I've read a lot of posts that try to explore this, but no one really seems to post fixes that work (for me), and no one seems to post what they did to fix the problem. They usually just post, "I fixed it. Thanks all!" *grin*

QUESTION: Why does my World never connect to my Minilogin server?

This thread (which I love pasting everywhere) is not titled to fit your exact scenario, but when I was missing my Minilogin server from the list, this is what I did to fix it.

See if it helps you.

From what I see on your post it appears your eqemu_config file is missing a few lines

here is a sample complete one...you can probably copy the missing part and insert into your config file...but you will need to set the DB line at the bottom to which ever data base you used , eq or peq...

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>minilogin</shortname>
<longname>Kaladim Inn</longname>

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>127.0.0.1</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>eq</username>
<password>eq</password>
<db>eq</db>
</database>
</server>

Unfortunately, I can't test this now but thank you so very much for the prompt, almost immediate replies. I will test it by end of day today.

I will definitely post back with what I did, whether it worked, etc.

Running fine now. It appears it is needed to both have the DB and the address/localaddresses specified if you want your minilogin to work. Here are my configs

eqemu_config.xml

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>minilogin</shortname>
<longname>My Minilogin</longname>

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>127.0.0.1</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
