Stuck @ Zone - eqlaunch.exe

[ErkiDeav]

Hiya,

Like many, pretty new to this, but feel close enough that maybe (with some help) I could push through and actually get this server running! Thanks for any input or advice in advance...

---------------------------
Basic problem: Not sure eqlaunch.exe is finishing its tasks; seems frozen.
Here is a 5-screen view:


I have attempted to set up 'static zones' fiddle with those sort of variables and or elements; nothing seems to help...

When I attempt to login, my login server recognizes the connection, but the client does not:



My compile seemed to go fine; my database seems to be working, although I did wonder if I need a separate db for the login server?

I am not using a Windows 'server', per-se, just my windows 7 machine with Xampp running (worked for testing websites!; is this a prob?)

Here is my config file, in its CURRENT state. I have tried almost every possible combo, on this



eq host file is set to:
[Login server]
Host=127.0.0.1:5999
(SOD Client)

login.ini -- and yes, I have tried to use the eqemu.login, but could never get on or get the server 'unlocked there, either...


and, my start.bat file=standard

ANY input or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

At this point, it is a matter of pride... LOL!

Cheers,
Erki

EQ-HTTMS is not a valid world address. No need to uncomment that section.

Thanks! Just changed that as a last-ditch effort. Reverted back to original:

Any other ideas?

I'd try starting zone.exe and see what happens. My guess is that the window will appear for a moment, then vanish.

btw, changed all my passwords~!

[ErkiDeav]

Actually, zone.exe from command prompt yielded this:

Loading access levels --seemed successful - selected snapshot:



Then... Crash~!

Crash Dummies, v2.0 (the rest!):


Weeeeeeee~!

Any ideas?

Are you compiling 32- or 64-bit? Did you replace the XAMPP perl with 5.12?

[ErkiDeav]

32 bit compile and yes, installed Active State Perl 5.12 err w/e was req'd. Skipped Perl on Xampp install.

[joligario]

It shows perl516 in your crash log at D:\eq\installs\perl\bin. You may want to check CMake to find out what location it is picking up and change it to your 5.12 install location manually.

[ErkiDeav]

Bah! How did I do THAT!

Uninstalling/re-installing proper Perl version and re-compiling..../sigh

[ErkiDeav]

Having trouble locating/setting these... barking up the right tree?



In particular, wondering which (if any) are found in the /dependencies folder OR
if some/all should come from MySQL root folder--in this case inside of my Xampp install??

[joligario]

Go from the dependencies, but you need 32-bit. Looks like you downloaded the 64-bit.

[ErkiDeav]

That was all it was... had the wrong dependencies and the wrong version of Perl... duh!

Logged in perfectly. Awesomeness! Thanks for the help!
