I'm attempting to set up a windows server using the public login server, and have followed the instructions on http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=ws992mysql5 to the letter with the ProjectEQ database.
Everything seemed to install without problems. I did not register the server anywhere (not sure if I needed to). The server connected successfully to the login server, and I could see it from a client on another computer. I successfully logged into it from the client, and created a character.
But I could not log into the world. It gave an error message that the zone was down. The server world.exe console informed me of attempting to restart the zone.
Upon shutdown and restart of the server I noticed many lines of errors in this format:
[Debug] [RULES__ERROR] Unable to find rule 'rulename'
[Debug] [RULES__ERROR] Unable to interpret rule record for rulename
I located the entries in the .sql files from the peqdb folder that match the rulenames mentioned. They are in rule_sets.sql and rule_values.sql.
I recall the step which required creating peqdb_xxx.sql.gz and extracting it into peqdb_xxx.sql then loading into the database via the mysql console going without a hitch.
My files for peqdb are in C:\peqdb, such that all the files have the path C:\peqdb\filename
Both the zipped and unzipped version which was loaded in mysql are housed here such that
C:\peqdb\peqdb_1129Rev233.sql
C:\peqdb\peqdb_1129Rev233.sql.gz
Did they need to be moved elsewhere before being loaded?
Or did the loading into the database not work successfully?
Also, in the blank window when the server was loaded it said "0: sleeping" rather than "7005: sleeping"
But I did see in the world.exe 7000-7004 zone ports notifications without errors.
I had a bit of trouble earlier getting the search function to work, so I apologize if this has been answered before. I only was able to browse the first couple pages of this forum.
Thank you for your time in this matter. I really am happy so many people have dedicated so much time to keeping a very nostalgic piece of my past alive. :)
