new server problem

[gibroni]

hello, i have been a member for many years and had a server set up so long ago, seem like early 2000. i have decided to try and get back into this private server thing and have followed the sticky at top of this forum, but it seems to not be fully complete instructions. i have done everything it says (even twice to make sure i didnt miss anything). when i run the start.bat file, the eqemu login server loads up fine, then world tries to load but cannot connect and zone file never does open. seems there are some steps missing in the guide. i have read and read through the forums looking for answers, but it seems there so many different things going on. I am looking for a server than i can access thru three computers on my lan and also a friend can log in from his house. so im assuming i need a public login for that. but if anyone can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. if anyone knows what else needs to be done following the newest guide stickied at the top.


thanks in advance,
Gibroni

try running "EQServerPack-Maps-4.0-1110a" its not the newest but its very easy to work with (99% of the work is done for you)

Or, you can try this:

Leslamarch's AX_CLASSIC install kit
(to simplify full server installs for PEQ or AX database)

Also, if there is a particular step in the guide you were using that is causing you problems, let us know which step. You can post details of your current problem and we can probably help to get you running the rest of the way. If your world is not able to connect to the database, then your config file is probably set wrong.

ok well i got it running and showing up on the eqemu.net, but i cant log into it. giving some account error. and also saying account already exists. i have also been trying to mess with minilogin 6.2, which i believe is all i need, as i am just trying to just play with 3 computer lan setup in my house. Any help on getting it to work on minilogin would be greatly appreciated. as of right now, when i try to load up server for minilogin, its telling me i need to set up world for minilogin. im not sure what i need to edit to set it for minilogin. i have variables in db set to minilogin and have set loginserver to my ip.

MiniLogin for LAN is not a good idea. There's no way to distinguish seperate accounts if they're coming from the same LAN network. Just use the new EQEmuLoginServer. It's like MiniLogin only, much better.

Everything you need to know is in my signature.

ok so i got it all working correctly, no errors and can see my server. using minilogin. but when i click server to log in i, it locks up. i check my server status and am getting an error message with my account. says something about am i using a minilogin and so i am guessing there is something set wrong with accounts in the login account file. anyone have a clue how to solve this problem? what do i have to do to get my account to work and let me log in?

Make sure in the variables table you have LoginType set to minilogin, by default it is set to Public.

[gibroni]

i should have said that, but yes i have variables set to minilogin.

i decided to try public login, using eqemulator.net. i get the same issues after clicking my server. something about not able to create my account. seems my login account database is not correct, even after following the setup guide. anyone point me in the direction of creating peqlogindb with correct sql tables.

minilogin is the way to go, the downside is you will no be able to be listed under eqemulator.net and the EQhost.txt on the Client will need to be set to your server IP with the login port 5999, you may need to add the accounts one at a time with there IP's under the SQL database.

Look at my post here and see if this works for you.
