World Exe Problems

[Lokon]

When I click world.exe ( everything is installed)

I get:

Loginserver.ini read
Suing databse 'eq' at localhost
Loading items...done.
Loading guild ranks...done.
World Server Listening on: port 9000


when my Loginserver.ini reads:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin.eqemu.org
worldname=Your Server Name Here
locked=false
account=
password=
worldaddress=YourIPhere
loginport=5999

then when i open Boot5zones

world.exe continues onto:

"Unable to get the host name. Error 11004" over and over

then"New zoneserver #1 MYIPADRESSHERE

Can anyone help me? or tell me how to fix my problem?
Thanks,
Lokon

If you look at the guide to running a 5.x server it states

loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net


NOT

loginserver=eqlogin.eqemu.org

[Markorak]

This is My LoginServer.... I still get that error....
Anymore Suggestions?

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net
loginserver3=eqlogin3.eqemulator.net
loginport=5997
loginport2=5997
loginport3=5997
worldname=ServerNameHere
worldaddress=IPAddress here
locked=false
account=
password=

This is my "world.exe" when I Load it up.... That is when I get the Error....

Any reason your using an ancient version of eqemu ?

0.4.4 ?

[Mongrel]

Maybe your DNS isn't working right?

"Unable to resolve host name" sounds like a DNS issue to me.

[mattmeck]

No its not a DSN its because he is trying to connect to the EMU login server with too old a version.

[Mongrel]

If the login server no longer accepts < 0.5.x servers then updating the server might be a good idea :)

[Markorak]

Can anyone link me the website to get the updated one??

[mattmeck]

How about you look, there is at least 10-15 diferent threads here that tell you where to get it, because I personaly have been pointing people to it, its now time for people to find it for themselfs.

EDITed by Tertiary: I am tired of posting here and having my posts edited by Mattmeck. Bye.

[mattmeck]

Edited your post....shawn has people going to the first page so they will agree to his terms of use, giving out the direct link takes away from what he is trying to do.

[mattmeck]

That is pushed to CVS BUT it is not precompiled, the most recient precompiled binariens are 100% UNSUPPORTED, hence why there NOT avaluble under the files link.


here is the quote from the DL page for the most recient PRECOMPILED binaries


EQEmu 0.5.3-DR2 Pre-Release
Last updated 1/12/2004
___________________________

1. Make sure you have the latest EQLive spells_us.txt in your EQEmu directory when using this release. Failure to do so may result in spell corruption in game.

2. This release supports the latest EQLive patch as of 1/12/2004. Do not use any other patches before or after this date.

3. You MUST source update.sql into your existing database. (Right click, save as)

4. NO SUPPORT WHAT SO EVER. If you do not know how to compile programs yourself or fix code, you have no reason to be using this. even though there is a pre-compiled version included.

Agree to these terms and continue to download DR2

so by giving out the direct link you are ensuring that people arent seeing or agreeing to the terms.

That last post is in responce to a post that Tertiary made then deleted.

got the same pb today :
Error: LoginServer::Connect: Resolving IP address: 'Unable to get the host name. Error: Success'


solved it when removed the space at the end of the login server name in LoginServer.ini

it had been long ( 1week or so) since the server went on the WAN, so i'm not sure of config i used. Apparently everything else had been fine (pinging, ...)

Also i updated from CVS (latest version Feb 02 2004), so maybe there has been a change (did not check)

BTW, could not ping eqlogin2 nor eqlogin3 (DNS solves well, but no answer)

Last, but not least, please post to the Win32 AND Linux forum when it's not W32 specific ... Looks like Windoze if problem-prone, when you count the posts ;)

Looks like Windoze if problem-prone, when you count the postsIm not sure this is the problem. It is just that in order to run windows, you need, ummm... well.... almost 0 knowledge. Most times when you run Linux you need to know something about what you are doing JUST to run it. That is not to say that all people running windows are not smart, just saying it requires that you learn less before jumping into something more advanced..
