Question about LoginServer.ini

[Ace Of Flames]

What do I put in for world name ?

[Shawn319]

anything as long as its not blank. youll see how usefull it is when you log in for the first time.

[Ace Of Flames]

It says Server Name Here ... right now.
Is it safe to leave it like that?
I followed the next steps, ran World.exe and a bunch of errors popped up.

[Shawn319]

well what is the error??? and whats the ini's setup to.

[Ace Of Flames]

That's exactly what my LoginServer INI file looks like at this minute. I'll give you all the errors I'm getting below.

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- do not add an account and password unless a EQEmu Dev member has created an account for you.
### --- adding an account and password only grants the server a green name and is not needed.

Are you sure you correctly created and sourced a database in mysql?

[Ace Of Flames]

you mean the database named eq ?
Yes I made that one

[Lurker_005]

Test your connection to mysql.

open a dos window, and goto your emu directory. type: world adduser testusr testpass 0

If that doesn't work, either your mysql isn't running, or you info in db.ini in your eqemu dir is wrong.

ROFL. you left host=192.168.0.x

RTFM

Your db.ini needs attention!!

should be:
host=127.0.0.1 (or localhost)
user=****
password=****
database=eq
