Hey, I just finally got my server running, for those of you still having troubles I'm going to post all the problems I had and solutions to those problems. My apologies for not giving props to those who originally solved most of these, I'm too lazy to go find your names again :P
Q. When I boot up my worldserver.exe I get an accessing error on my login even though I'm positive my login/pass are correct for mysql
A. You need to go into your mysql directory and run mysql and type the following:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eq.* TO yourname@localhost
IDENTIFIED BY "your pass" WITH GRANT OPTIONS;
This should solve it
Q. Okay, I did that but now launching it gives me a "bad" user/pass name with the login
A. Make sure you have the most recent login/minilogin around.
Q. I get everything running, everything seems to agree but when I get to the character selection screen and make a char and then login with that char I get the char selection screen shows no chars and after about a minute and a half of inactivity kicks me saying "You have been disconnected."
A. You should notice a character creation error in your world.exe window, this is very likely indicative of an out of date central db.sql, download 0.3.0 from this site (just go to downloads) :P.
Q. When I go to login my server I get the error "incorrect version, please patch"
A. First and foremost make sure that your copy of eq is as recent as possible. Done? ok. Now check your loginserver.ini and MAKE SURE the user/password fields are 100% blank.
Q. Okay, so I get in, I make my character and when I go to login, it loads for a bit then kicks me back to the server select screen OR gives me a "that zone is unavailbable message".
A. First, make sure you have login.sql sourced into your eq database. I'm not sure if this is for the login or the minilogin, but who cares, its good to have it in there anyways. Now, make sure your zone boot up batch file reflects YOUR IP, NOT LOCAL HOST.
Thats about all the problems I ran into, if you have other solutions to common/not so common problems, post em here
