My Server LOCKED?

[Weveran]

It could be that i missed something critical, but i followed many topics relating to setting up a server and the one i picked was succesful by many yet my server appears locked on the login screen. Please help

[Scorpious2k]

Check to make sure your zone servers are running and that in your LoginServer.ini it says locked=false

[Weveran]

The loginserver.ini does say Locked=False, that was the first thing i checked. But how would i go about checking my zone servers?

Gonna guess you're running on Winblows

You ran world.exe right?

What else did you run?

[Shadow-Wolf]

EDIT: deleted
my apologies for the misunderstanding

[arkaria]

Where did I say it was windows problem?

Wow some people.

Rather than make this thread longer with your usless post why not offer help? If ya can't help then maybe you shouldn't be posting in this section.

[Weveran]

Ok the programs i have running are
World.Exe
Boot5zones
and the Winmysqul


Anything else i need?

[arkaria]

Did you edit boot5 and if you ctrl > alt > del can you see the 5 zone.exe processes that boot5 would have started?

[Weveran]

yes, i followed the whole thing completly
Here is what my edit says (The *'s are ALL replaced by my IP, EXEPT for the *'s in the VERY FIRST line)





REM: ****Read this first!!!****

REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "*****" when you are connecting
REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver.

REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say ****

REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of ******

REM:--------------Start-----------------------
@echo off

if NOT exist spells_en.txt goto NOSPELL

start zone . ************************
start zone . ************************
start zone . ************************
start zone . ************************
start zone . ************************
exit
cls

:NOSPELL
echo You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one. Please do so or zones will crash on startup.
PAUSE

REM:---------------END------------------------

[Weveran]

And yes, the 5 windows for the Launch 5 zones are running, and none are sleeping

[Weveran]

Does anyone know the answer!?

[Weveran]

If possible could you guys just give me a simple list of what i should be running in the background and if you could, what they would say when you went to edit them? Please, i really need help on this.

[Smarto]

Alright Weveran I will try to help.

My main cause of the server being locked was that when I ran boot5zones the servers werent sleeping.

open boot5zones and make sure you replaced the IPS with your internal IP.

Tell me what error the zones are giving if it doesn't work.

[egamer1]

this was fixed by in the boot zones 5 replacing it with you internal ip address not the one that is listed to the net you find this by running comand prompt and typing "ipconfig" with out the queots
this will igve you your internal ip adress and now re start up zones and your all set good luck

[Weveran]

thank you guys, i'll try it now

[Weveran]

Which Ip adress? it gives me 3
its says..... (The *'s are IP numbers)
Ip Adress: ******
Subnet Mask: *******
Default Gateway: *******

[Weveran]

and also, i tried the regular IP Adress and all i got was no errors, but its not on the server list!!!

[Weveran]

OK IT WORKS! Its no longer locked... But....

How do i make my character a server op and start running the place : /

[theobeo92]

[fanoen]

i got this same problem and i cant get past, ive used my internal ip also, ive used my external, ive used my local host ip, and ive used localhost.
