Done about all i can

[majinnoone]

Hello, I tried this a while back was able to login and see my server without the right client, once i found out that was why i couldn't log on. i removed EQmulator. Well i went and got myself the right Eq version "Everquest Titanium"
and i have ActivePerl-5.8.8.822,EQEmu-0.7.0-992,mysql-essential-5.0.37. I run on windows Xp, I been playing with the code changing it to whatever the forms and guides say. Nothing has worked, I want to design my own zones and customize the world i used to love and make a version that would show others a good time like i had back in 1999, I have so many ideas to put into the world and i am so close to it now. I can load up my server but nothing i do lets me log online to test it, there for i have not made any changes to the world at this time and it drives me nuts. Anyhow all i get when i set it to let me log on minilogin is can not connect to server, the server seems find the ip match, the sql has minilogin and everything, so i am goin to set it up for public i changed the ips, i changed it to say public in the sql and still i get no server on the MU list.

any ideas?

[trevius]

I don't think switching from mini login to public is a very easy switch. I think you might want to just start over and use only the public setup wiki this time. Plus, you have this set completely wrong:

<address>192.168.0.182</address>
<localaddress>192.168.0.182</localaddress>

Just delete that section of your config completely, as you do not need it.

[majinnoone]

I will try what you have suggested thank you for your advice.:)

[majinnoone]

I uninstalled everything and used the EQEmuServerPack-4.00 and updated it. still i cant seem to get the server to work. as for the wiki guide mentioned all i found was the guide i followed lasttim. http://techguynky.com/Documents/Guide.pdf

Here is the emulator wiki page for server admins:

http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=CategoryServer

And this is the exact guide you would normally follow to do the setup from scratch (though the PEQ package probably removes most of those steps):

http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=ws992mysql5

[majinnoone]

well i followed it even copied and pasted the code for the config, then i changed the name and the database info to fit my server, and stilli get the tcp connection error:(

[Striat]

Mysql error it seems. Are you able to connect to your database through command prompt or do you get an error?

Possibilities seem to be:
Your login/pass is incorrect-unlikely
You have not granted proper access to username
A firewall is blocking your connection

Also, based on your original post, it seems you have a router. This very well could be the prob. May want to try without router if possible and then check router settings.

[majinnoone]

yes i do have a router, and i think the trouble is i am using the default 127.0.0.1 or whatever it was, which in my networking class they said its a loopback ip and is not used when connecting to the internet. hince the tcp error? my sql has given me errors everytime i installed it saying i cant config it due to the fix there is a old data base and i must use my old password, which is the same everytime, so i am thinking that could be a problem aswell, i brought up some of my ideas in /ooc on another server and i had many people response in all good ways, and want to beta test my sever when its running, my ideas would be very in depth so it would take me a long time to work it out, but i know once i figure out the coding part the content part which is where i excel will be one of the best. I hope someone can help get me started so i can stop dreaming and start doing. since 1999 i wanted my own eq server now its time for me to do it, if i can not, then hopefully someone else can use my ideas. Its more detailed and more custom world, but still holds true to the everquest feel. i even have other designers and gms aswell as beta testers at my door LOL just the setup is getting in the way HAHAHA

[majinnoone]

Oh one more thing, my windows version is xp pro, and all i have a home backup or visa. the tcp isn't configured on my browser i thought this my be a issue aswell. but my teacher does not think thats the case. But someone i have the feeling it is, but since the backup disk is required it does not let me change the settings. I am not a tech guy, more of a designer or Gm style of person. It was just my idea to start the server so i am the one in charge of the setup which i wish my tech friends were around. I been working on offline rpgs of my own content for a few years now in differnt formats, mainly RPG maker series, so i have some understanding of game content. and i played many online games and servers, in eq1-2, and the dreaded wow. which i think eq1 had the best idea, but really should take some from eq2, and other games, now wow, i did not enjoy as much as eq, but i did like some ideas they had, or took from other games which is all wow did. nothing in that game is theirs, besides war craft plot line which is the only reason its alive still. anyhow if i cant get this up in a couple months i will post some ideas on the forms if anyone wishes to do them to thier server, just let me know so i know my ideas were used,and i can test them myself on the server >:) thank you all for you help and time.

[Striat]

I cannot completely understand what you are saying, but here goes...

The exact error would be helpful. It sounds like you are saying you have an old install. So, you'd need to run something like
SET PASSWORD FOR 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd'); or depending on the mysql version, you may be able to just delete an old my.ini file in your windows folder. You'll may need to rerun config setup.

For your router, check http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=RouterFix

[majinnoone]

i cant get that command line in mysql command line. it asked for a password i put in the password i been using every time i tried making mysql. i hit enter and it goes to the desktop. but i installed the no ip software for the ip updates and i have done everything stated in your guide for routers this is what i get when i hit run emu --------------------------------------------

as always it just sits there on starting main loop as for the world and zone exe i never see them start up.

[trevius]

I am guessing you put this section back in your config:

<address>192.168.0.182</address>
<localaddress>192.168.0.182</localaddress>

Accept it looks like you changed one of the lines to "eqnevaeh.no-ip.biz" now.

As I said before, you don't want to configure that section in your config. It will mess your connection up unless you know exactly what you are doing. And 99% of the time it isn't needed at all.

It sounds like your main issue is still with MySQL. You might need to google search for some solutions to reset your root password for MySQL. Once your accounts are setup properly, it should start working.
