error 1017 on Win 2000

[Khranok]

I'm trying to setup my own server for offline and LAN play, ive configerd everything, I can login and ive got a server named 0.3.6 (after the EQEmu version), I click to play it and it gives me that error, I have norton anti-virus disabled and I aint sure if Win 2000 has a firewall but ive looked in the network settings and cant find an option to turn it off, If anyone can help it would be much apprecitated, thanx :)

[scruntos]

I too am having similar troubles. I am using windows XP. In XP to toggle firewall it is in the advanced section of your NIC

[Nira]

I had this problem too...here is what I did to fix it.

Get to your command prompt
(For XP: Start - Run - "cmd")

Get into your eqemu directory (cd\ (enter) cd eqemu (enter) - for me anyways)

type:

world.exe adduser eqemu eqemu 200

This will add the account eqemu with the pass eqemu and set it to serverop status, boot up everything and enter with the above, you should be able to create now.

If this doesnt work, reply back.

[Khranok]

i get "Error in CreateAccount query 'INSERT INTO account SET name='eqemuu', password 'eqemu', status=200, lsaccount_id=0;' #1062: Duplicate entry 'eqemu' for key 2 database.Createaccount failed" whats up with that? o.o;;;

[scruntos]

YOUR AWESOME .... it worked. Is there a place to go that gives other line commands?

Thanks So much

[Nira]

Welcome scruntos.

Kharanok:

I suggest doing the same thing except this time try and use a different name and pass

so something like:

world.exe adduser mini mini 200

Then when you connect, you mini/mini for name and pass.

Hope that works

[Khranok]

Erf... Ok I created an account with name=mini and pass=mini, it created it fine, I still get the same error, in World.exe it says...

"65084 New client from ip: 127.0.0.1 port: 1330
127.0.0.1: Wrong name/pass: name='eqemu'
Removing client from ip:127.0.0.1 port:1330"

Ive also tried logging in with the name and pass eqemu but the same problem =/

[Lurker_005]

minilogin ONLY allows 1 login account, and it is fixed as user: eqemu pass: eqemu
fo more accounts you need to use publiclogin (not released for 3.6 yet) Or use the main loginserver at eqemu.net

for command referance:
world.exe /?
zone.exe /?
and possibly minilogin /?
for that matter, packetcollector.exe /?

just like thousands of other dos command line programs :)


Kharanok:
Perhaps try opening mysql.exe, type
use eq;
delete from accounts;
exit

then try creating the eqemu account again
world.exe adduser eqemu eqemu 200

[Khranok]

Ok i'm having a problem deleting the accounts now x.x

"ERROR 1146: Table 'eq.accounts' does'nt exist"

hehe i'm sure ive had the most problems with eqemu in history

[Lurker_005]

Your missing a required talbe in the DB. Sounds like you didn't get the whole DB loaded. Drop your Db and load it from scratch again.

[corun]

ok, if you have read the above, still have the same problem and have your server running on a 2nd machine you may try this:

I have my server on my gateway computer and EQ installed on the main machine.

Gateway has IP 10.1.13.1
If I set up EQEmu on the gateway with 127.0.0.1 it starts up just fine and seems to work like it should.
Now when I try to connect to the emu server I get to the server selection and when I hit play I get the 1017 error. I have 10.1.13.1 in the eqhost.txt file.

If I set all config IPs in the emu config files from 127.0.0.1 to 10.1.13.1 I can log into the world just fine.

Might help some of you....

Do this

Drop the database in sql (yes redo it)
next before you attempt to login.

Get to your command prompt
(For XP: Start - Run - "cmd")

Get into your eqemu directory (cd\ (enter) cd eqemu (enter) - for me anyways)

type:

world.exe adduser eqemu eqemu 200

This will add the account eqemu with the pass eqemu and set it to serverop status, boot up everything and enter with the above, you should be able to create now.


garenty it will work with a "fresh database that is not touched 1st my eqw

[Nira]

Hey kila,

You copied almost all of my post from above...that must have taken skill.

[Lyenu X`Arie]

Another thing you can do if you don't want lose your whole DB is to run mysql.exe then do the following.

mysql> use eq;
mysql> delete from account;
mysql> delete from character_;


After that do the world.exe adduser.. thing from above.

[Lasix]

I can create my own server, but anytime I try to log into it I get the 1017 error... tried the fixes listed here and not having any luck - any other ideas?

[kila]

make sure you have no viri or firewall software running @ all. even the one built in 2k / xp can throw this connection off.

and Nira, did not mean to "plagerize" hehe was just cutting and pasting to save time saying that it worked for me, and added a few things my bad.

[Poink]

Ok well i keep getting the 1017 error cannot log in, update all patches blah blah, any suggestions? How would i check to see i have a firewall up and running? and last question Should it always say the servers <name> LOCKED? I have checked my .ini in the eqemu directory and it says =false. so i dunno.

Help Me i'm a newb!

[kila]

You just attempting to use the minilogin?

[Poink]

yes, i'm using the minilogin. Should i be using a different program instead?

[Piska]

nm delete this post if you can.
