Unable to start world.exe

[Iadas]

Hi,

I attempted to set up my own local server using this guide (http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=Windows).

After following all the steps, and seeming correctly, when I click on the shortcut to the batch file, I receive the following error messages:

1. World.exe - Application Error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click ok to close the application.
2. Serverstart.bat is starting EQEmuloginserver (--which stays on the screen for about 10 seconds--)
ECHO is off
Echo is Off.
Waiting a bit for world to finish loading....
3. A dos windows openes (C:/eqemu/eqlaunch.exe)
Failed to open log file: logs/eqemu_debug_1056.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...


I saw another post to create a Log file under my emu directory. when I did that I got pretty much the same error, but also a log of the problem:

[Debug] [01.19.11 - 16:19:24] Logging System Init.
[Debug] [01.19.11 - 16:19:24] Config System Init.
[Error] [01.19.11 - 16:19:24] Config::Parse(), file was unable to be opened for parsing.
[Error] [01.19.11 - 16:19:24] Database Initialization Failure.
[Debug] [01.19.11 - 16:19:24] Config System Shutdown.
[Debug] [01.19.11 - 16:19:24] Log System Shutdown.


any help would be appreciated.

Looks like it is having an issue with the DB. Post your .ini files / config files.

Looks like you're missing login.ini at least. That's where those 2 errors are coming from.

Hi, thanks for your replies.

Miniserver loginserver.ini

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

Are you using minilogin? Have you gotten any further with this?

[Zandig]

If you are using MiniLogin check the compile guide in the Wiki:
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=VS2008

...scroll to the bottom, under the NOTES section, and follow the instructions there.

Hi,

I can't say I am any further than I was last. I am using the Titanium pack, so the notes don't seem to apply.
