Switching from Mini to Public and don't see my Server in List

[jason4712]

I have been using cavedudes EQEmuServerPack-3.52 with minilogin without any problems.

Now I want to quit using mini and make my server public so my friends can see it etc.

I use the following config:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>ehood</shortname>
<longname>The EverHood</longname>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
<loginserver>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>
</world>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>eq</username>
<password>eq</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

and I don't see my server listed among the many 7.0 servers.

What am I missing here? I've created a login server account and registered a server but it tells me when I've completed that process to put the account name and password in my .ini file however 7.0 is using the xml config so I'm at a loss as to where to correct this.

Thanks for any help or links pointing me to the info I need.

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->

Don't see my server listed

Tried:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>ehood</shortname>
<longname>The EverHood</longname>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />

<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>eq</username>
<password>eq</password>
<db>eq</db>
</database>
</server>

Still don't see The EverHood listed among the servers when I fire up my client.

When I boot up my server World.exe looks like:

[Status] Using database 'eq' at localhost:3306
[Status] EMuShareMem loaded
[Status] Loading items from database: count=54535


eqlaunch.exe shows me the following:

Any insight appreciated.

Well I ended up running the source code for World.exe and found it couldn't query the Variables table. Apparently the server pack installs it corrupted on my box for whatever reason, I was unable to open the variables table with any tool. I dropped the variables table then created it using the latest script on projecteq.net. Once I had a queryable (although empty) variables table, World stopped trying to log into minilogin and connected to the host in my config file.

Hope this info helps anyone else having trouble going public with this server pack.

Thanks to all those that posted useful info on compiling with VS 2003 throughout the forums.
