Character Disappeared from Character Select

[browsebot]

I already searched the forums for "missing character" and "character gone", but didn't find a solution.

I set up a server using the PEQ database and installing EQEMU using the EQEMU auto installer.

Minilogin and the world/zone server screens do everything as intended, but the problem I was having was that the server did not show up on the server select screen.

I fixed that by changing the IP in the account table from 127.0.0.1 to the actual machine IP via MYSQL Query Browser, and changing the type from "public" to "minilogin".

So now the server does show up on the server select screen, but the previously created characters are gone.

But in MYSQL Query Browser, the characters still show up in the corresponding accounts tables.

If the characters are still there according to Query Browser, why don't they show up on the server select screen?

Config files below.

EQHOST.TXT:
[LoginServer]
Host=75.178.23.82:5999



LOGINSERVER.INI:
### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

Any ideas on how to get the characters to show back up on the character select screen? I suspect it will amount to inputting a command in MYSQL, but I have figured it out. Thanks in advance for any help.

Forgot to add, the server, client and EQEMU are all installed and ran on the same machine.

I also have a question. If the server, EQ client, and EQEMU are all being run from the same machine, can't every single entry in the config files that require an IP simply be 127.0.0.1, or is there some reason why some entries have to be the machine's actual internet IP?
