Im trying to setup a server just to toy around with. I followed the EQEmulator guide to a T but im still having issues getting world.exe to run. When I run my bat file it opens then immediatly closes. I ran it from a prompt and I got this error,

Failed to open log file: logs/eqemu_debug_world_3328.log
[debug] [world__init] loading server configuration..
Unable to load 'eqemu_configuration.xml' : failed to open file
[debug] [world__init_err] loading server configuration failed.

The EQEmu\eqlaunch window shows,

[Debug] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_3824.log
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Loading server configuration..
[Debug] [NET__WORLD] WorldConnection connect: Connecting to the server 127.0.0.1
:9000 failed: TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error: 10061
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__ERROR] worldserver.Connect() FAILED! Will retry.
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Starting main loop...

My Config file looks like this...

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>

Did you try to put the emu folder in program files or other protected directory? What about allowing world in the firewall?

moving the directory didnt help, closed as soon as it opened up. How exactly do I allow the world.exe thru the firewall? I did open port 3306 for mysql. Thanks again for the help!

So you have World, Zone, eqlaunch, and EmuShareMem all in the same directory with your configuration file and other subdirs? I'm asking because world also could not find your logs directory (but eqlaunch found it :-? ).

Here is an idea of what it should look like.

Sorry, I didn't mean to try to do it. I meant to ask if that is what you did. To allow world.exe through the firewall, go to Start -> Control Panel -> Windows Firewall. Select "Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall" on the left. Select "Change Settings" and add an allow for world.exe (browse and add the file). I also allowed zone through my firewall.

Judging by the 'Last Modified' dates in your screenshot, you have edited the eqemu_config.xml.full file, rather than the one the server uses, which is eqemu_config.xml (which has a last modified date of 1/28/2006 in your screenshot).

Ok, well I currently have it installed at c:\eqmu, I allowed world.exe as well as zone through the firewall. Same thing happened, heres the error I get..

The config file I used came from EQEmu version;EQEmu-Rev1180a-Bots. The only changes I made were to the eqemu_congig.xml file.Do I need to find a different xml file?

Thanks again.

You need to be in c:\eqemu when you launch world.exe, i.e.

C:\Users\Steve>cd \eqemu

C:\eqemu>world
[Debug] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_world_4600.log
[Debug] [WORLD__INIT] Loading server configuration..
[Debug] [WORLD__INIT] Log settings loaded from log.ini
[Debug] [WORLD__INIT] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEmulator 0.8.0
[Debug] [WORLD__INIT] Connecting to MySQL...
[Status] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_world_4600.log
[Status] Using database 'ykesha' at 192.168.1.100:3306
[Debug] [WORLD__INIT] Starting HTTP world service...

To be sure you are editing the correct file:

C:\Users\Steve>cd \eqemu

C:\eqemu>notepad eqemu_config.xml

As I said, your screenshot appears to show you have edited eqemu_config.xml.full, which is not used by the server, it is just there for reference to show you all the possible options you can specify in your eqemu_config.xml (without the .full extension) which is the file the server actually uses to run.

Now I feel like a dummy, thats what is was...I edited the wrong file. Thanks for the help. They both run now but I get another error im assuming is a prob with the config file. Thanks again for helping me feel like an idiot!
