Incorrect Password Error

[Ryoz]

I've been around for the past few months, so I'm familiar on the occasion that our passwords are not recognized.

I'm getting this message. I was able to change my password through the user CP, but it won't recognize it on the login screen.

Anyone else having this problem?

[nezmyth]

lol this ryoz from heaven&earth ?

[Sorantiz]

yeah having the same problem here too...

[shick1098]

I'm having the same problem. Does this normally go away on its own and in how long?

[jellyini]

ditto: 732pm mountain

was on earlier today, logged out like 1230pm mst

J

lmao like 4 ppl posted at the same time

[Yuber]

Running into the same issue. Got my main account on and booted up other machine to try to get other account on, went for a couple minutes of hanging and not getting a connection, and now it is stating incorrect password.

[Ryoz]

haha, sup nez long time no see.

[drizzt728]

the same thing with me

LS has run well for a long time(about 3 weeks)

but today it down again

[Katinka]

Same thing here, all of a sudden all my accounts no worky!

[trevius]

Don't go changing your passwords! The error has nothing to do with your passwords, even if it says it does. The problem is with the Login Server's connection to MySQL. Hopefully KLS will see this and get it fixed soon. She has been doing a really good job of keeping the LS stable while they work on the details for the final solution for this site and the LS.

This problem won't go away on it's own, but KLS should be able to get it fixed when she sees this. No ETA, but probably not too long.

[SadX]

Yea, same my account is not working either. I'm sure they will fix this issuse shortly =)

[Dead]

same problem here

[Ryoz]

Thanks for the speedy update, Trevius.

[Dead]

way to go breaking things trev...

Could you set up the forum to notify her(or others) when people viewing this forum hits a threshold?

[Sorantiz]

Thanks for the speedy update, Trevius.
Agreed, thanks for the info!

[circuitdragon]

Hate to be the one to say this, but for once, I am glad to hear this. I just migrated from one server, to a new one. Worked well the first time I booted it all up, did some server updates, and once it rebooted, well...the "world" would connect, but with errors. So glad its not my machine...sucks that this is still going on though. But now, I guess I've got some time to find some new SCSI drives for my main machine, and hope that they come with the trays. :)

[sinisterpankake]

incase it matters same problem here....

[TraCaine]

Ok so I just joined the community here and am trying to get set up. I'm able to get to the login screen just fine, I've got all my settings kosher and have an account name registered with the server but when I enter my login/pass it rejects it and says it's invalid. Since I'm just starting here, I haven't previously been able to log in anyways. So is my not being able to log in related to this thread or am I missing something? If so, what can I do, if anything to get to the server select screen?

[Jabober]

TraCaine: You just need to wait for the LS to get squared away. Refer to the post Trevius put up on page one of this thread.

[TraCaine]

Copy that. I wasn't really sure whether it was something within my control. Thanks Jabober.

[trevius]

That would probably be a waste of time. I believe they are still working on a new permanent solution to the LS issues. Hopefully we can get new news on it soon. Until then, things will probably remain as they are. It all depends on when KLS hears about it being down. I don't know what her schedule is like, but she normally gets to it pretty quickly.

[Auto]

It figures it would die on the night I decide to try it. Thanks for the updates. :)

[everlastnmn]

still no luck or fix.

[TraCaine]

I dunno, kind of brings back memories for me honestly. I decide I want to play for awhile for some night and "Oh no, the server is down!!11one!" Ah to be 16 and have that level of nerd rage again...memories. Which is why I'm here I suppose. There is something to be said for authenticity of the experience, aye? :-P

[greldor]

Anything to give me an excuse to loop all the eq midi files can't be that bad.

LS is down? Nah can't be, the loading music is still going . . .

[-mondo-]

Same. Went nuts entering a whole bunch of passwords, because I recently returned and only logged on once (a couple days ago) before trying today, and thought maybe I forgot which one I used! Changed password and everything, before checking here..

[Joetuul]

Would really like to see this fixed.... tonight if possible... Would like to reset my server for changes I have made to take effect...

Anyone have an ETA?

Getting tired of looking at the "Login server responded with a FatalError." message being spammed in my world window...

[wsbsteven]

I'm glad to see the issues stopped for as long as they did. I hope the server comes back up soon. I took the time to update the revision on my end and now I need to see how things work.

Edit: Just realized this is the first time I have posted here after registering almost 4 years ago, crazy.

[Amundi]

Tag your it

[mofish]

any updates?

[teews08]

nothing so far.. :/

[mofish]

Dang...I've got the itch!

[Xannatos65]

*Twiddles Thumbs*
Figures on the night my friends and I decide to try this out the login server goes down. lol. Yeah, brings memories of the old days.

Power to the fix!

[okiron88]

any news yet? i just got home and wanna play :p

[japo2336]

Some one fix tis mess please

[Newad]

Well one can look at the situation this way. You didn't lose any money. Free game play and free down time. I say that very flatly.

I'm not good at ..what's it called? Chat Speak? Skip it.

[Tildayran]

I just wanna play some eqemu =(

[drizzt728]

So question is when does KLS can see this situation

[okiron88]

So question is when does KLS can see this situation

your right the real question is "when Does KLS get online to check these things?" lol

[naveed]

....all in favor of getting her a pager, raise your virtual hands!

=D

lol

ya like trev said it is usually fixed fairly quickly, just rest up and all should be good tomorrow.

[Aergad]

the ironic part is lol my server is monitored if my stuff goes down i get a text within 2 minutes and i fix the problem maybe someone should install webmin on the server or a1monitor or since she has access just cude it into the ls to send her a text to her cell when the mysql link goes down its pretty easy to do on a server with sendmail on it

The ironic part about this post is that you are not staying on topic.

[Darinow]

While nobody is outright really whining about the server being down, it must be discouraging for KLS to see any doubt in her work. We should all take a second to remember she does this on her own time, and the vast improvement we've seen since she took over. Even if we were to run into 24 hours of downtime every month, be it spread out or all in one night it is a small price to pay for the awesome services. Im just as anxious for it to come back up as anyone,had to log earlier than normal for an eq2 raid and get back to satisfy my eq needs and the ls is down : \

(On a side note, this is not a flame on anyone who posted randomness about the server being down,just a reminder of how awesome things have been under KLS control)

[teews08]

Agreed 100%

[trevius]

Yeah, and they are only going to get better I am sure. With new changes in the works still, I am sure we will all be pleased with the results.

[FieldGoal]

One word.....ditto....:confused:
What causes this to happen? Bad codes or just random error?
You see trev... this is the stuff i wanna kno about.

Grr! having a lack of knowledge is really beginning to irritate me.......:mad:

Edit: Could it have anything to do with that security breach thing I am seeing at the top of all of the forums? Having a conflict in the codes that they skewed to try and fix an earlier problem...?

[trevius]

It isn't directly related to the password hacking issue. But I believe it is a result of a MySQL config change that doodman made shortly after that happened to prevent some other hacking related issues on the host box. I don't know exactly what he changed to start this issue happening, but it appears that when it happens, the Login Server completely looses contact with MySQL, so it can't access the database for users to log in or for servers to fully connect to it.

The only way to resolve it currently is direct interaction from KLS or doodman as they are the only 2 with access to the host right now.

Again, even though this issue is much less common right now, I expect it should be completely gone when the new LS solution comes into effect.

[KingMort]

Spoke to KLS last night (April 28th) and she said she can't get in right now with SSH.. So hopefully the server is fully rebooted soon..

[djcenkz0]

Could yous please fix this problem asap :) dieing without eq lol =P

[Newad]

What is SSH?

Just wondering.

Glad she knows about it though. Really been enjoying the House of Hinge server. I like how they have the progression set up there. It's quite lonely though ...sometimes.

I may not return to PEQ The Grand Experiment and my under appreciated paladin which I can barely solo with.

Back to SSH ..what is that?

Thanks

[trevius]

SSH is Secure Shell

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell

And even if she couldn't get in last night, it was probably only while the whole site and LS were both unreachable. Normally happens when the box gets overloaded from Apache. But, since the forums are running smoothly now, she should probably be able to get in fine with SSH again.

You can google or wiki it :)

Usually, you can use SSH clinet software to connect your server running Unix or Linux OS...

Don't worry, she is going to stare SSH down in the face and it will start working again! Had to say it..

[zareon]

Oh man i think it's been down for 12+hours now im guessing?
hope it's up soon :(

[BigPapaBruno]

I see HnE people here ^ ^ <-- Neocrono

Praying for login to come up!

[Shinrii]

Any Updates yet?

[Ryoz]

sup neo.

nezmyth and locomo posted in this thread. both hne guys also. good seeing you guys here.

[DaNnYe2K3]

not to beat the already beaten dead horse but....Any news yet?...anyone had any luck logging in?

[Shinrii]

It seems not to be fixed yet. But i think they will take a while till they found and fixed this issue.

[circuitdragon]

I'm sure KLS or some one will make a post when its functioning again. :p

[DaNnYe2K3]

The suspense is killing me :P I've resorted to making a list of things to do today that would actually accomplish something real rather than my EQ fantasy achievments. I know, its sick to think in terms of real world...but what else is there? :P

[zareon]

lol, watch a movie :P

[Shinrii]

Dude i think you need help :P Reminds me in the days in 1999 where I played 12 hours a day :P

[wunder]

same issue here for both my logins. Sounds like I'll just wait. Hopefully it's up soon. :)

[Shinrii]

As far as I understood this, there is a problem with the database connection since there was an update or better they closed a backdoor for hackers. As long as my account is safe it doesn't matter to me.

[clericgildina]

I wish I could get on.. bump? :(

[zareon]

Sigh still down.....

[Ansley1]

I see KLS logged in !!

[zareon]

lol yay, now to see what the problem is, an how long it will take! =p

[Tookya]

apparently its serious business, it has already taken ~18hours

[eqemuross]

wtb eq naoooo

[Justin657]

no it has taken them MONTHS and they still cant fix it i swear put some monkeys in the Dev team they could fix this shit faster

[wunder]

Erase the hate. <3

[Bovinity Divinity]

Sorry you're not getting your money's worth from the volunteer team of Dev's, Captain Important.

[jellyini]

no it has taken them MONTHS and they still cant fix it i swear put some monkeys in the Dev team they could fix this shit faster

:shock:

[jumping_klaus]

Why don't you code your own solution or are you not as smart as your so called "monkeys"?

[Shinrii]

Justin when you know it so well, then be a dev and fix ist but stop that anger angainst those pretty good devs!

[CrankWar]

Oh no people with 2 posts are angry, the pillars of the community I would call them. Shaking like little girls! OH NOZ!

[Ansley1]

This doesnt look like it's getting fixed today :roll:

[Shinrii]

Ah it seems to work again, would be interesting to know what you did to fix it?

[norphage]

I can login to LS, but, i think other servers need reboot to take online

thx for fixing. i think will back online soon

[sanford]

Yes, the ls is now back up. If y'all would look at the whole thread, you would get a technical explanation of exactly whats wrong with the ls. Maybe not EXACTLY whats wrong, but a good approximation. I know we pay these guys good money to keep this thing running, and they are doing their bes... wait, whats that?... <whisper...murmur> Oh, I see. Apparently they are doing all this for free, so um... yeah. Stop complaining. Now if only the PEQ server's ISP would buy some ice cubes or something I'd be a happy guy.

[jellyini]

Yup those 15pp buffs aren't sounding so bad after a week or so of grinding PvP xp.
:-D

[sanford]

...prepare to be disappointed when you return. In an effort to denube the server, (btw i have trademarked the term "denube,") rates have octupled.(sp?)
I think its a great idea, but if I misconstrued the team's intent I apologize. Discussion on this issue, however, is a topic for another thread. Sry to diverge, but this thread is toast anyway im guessing.

[circuitdragon]

Thanks KLS, or whoever did the reset. My server is back up and running. :)
