Zones not talking to World?

[Dralanna]

Trying to set up a server and for the life of me I can't get it to work. The server starts up fine... I can log into the server and create a character, I just cant get into the game. I'm guessing it's because no zones are ever starting up.

My world log ends with:

[05.04. - 23:39:02] [WORLD__LS] Connecting to login server: 172.16.0.103:5998
[05.04. - 23:39:02] [WORLD__LS] Connected to Loginserver: 172.16.0.103:5998

My zone log ends with:

[05.04. - 23:42:33] [NET__WORLD] Connected to World: 127.0.0.1:9000
[05.04. - 23:42:53] [NET__WORLD] Connected to World: 127.0.0.1:9000
[05.04. - 23:43:13] [NET__WORLD] Connected to World: 127.0.0.1:9000
[05.04. - 23:43:33] [NET__WORLD] Connected to World: 127.0.0.1:9000
[05.04. - 23:43:53] [NET__WORLD] Connected to World: 127.0.0.1:9000
[05.04. - 23:44:13] [NET__WORLD] Connected to World: 127.0.0.1:9000
[05.04. - 23:44:33] [NET__WORLD] Connected to World: 127.0.0.1:9000
[05.04. - 23:44:53] [NET__WORLD] Connected to World: 127.0.0.1:9000


I'm guessing that I'm supposed to see in my world logs something like:

[WORLD__ZONE] New TCP Connection from....

Where the launcher is telling world to start up zones, but I'm getting nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

What happens when you try and zone in? Did you apply all the necessary database updates? 1711 is the one most often missed.

[Dralanna]

Yes, I've done all the required SQL updates from 1711 on.

I can get to the character select screen, but when I try to enter the game I get

"That zone is not available"

and my log file looks like:

I assume your start.bat looks like this?

@echo off
start EQEmuLoginServer.exe
start world
echo waiting for the world to finish before starting zone...
sleep 30
start eqlaunch zone

[Dralanna]

Yeah, I've even tried to start zone.exe directly

@echo off
start EQEmuLoginServer.exe
start world
echo waiting for the world to finish before starting zone...
sleep 30
start eqlaunch zone
start zone.exe "tutorialb"

[lerxst2112]

What does your eqemu_debug_xxxx.log file look like?

Should be something like this:

Huh, just noticed I had a double post a while back.... sorry about that :)

[lerxst2112]

Is 172.16.0.103 the actual IP address of the computer the server is running on? It's a private network address, so I assume your router assigned it via DHCP.

Do you have mismatched addresses in your config file? It seems odd that the launcher log shows the private address, and the zone log up above is using 127.0.0.1.

You might try setting all the addresses in the config file to 127.0.0.1 and see if that makes any difference.

Are you trying to use the AXClassic database instead of PEQ? Last time I checked, AXClassic calls their zone launcher "zones" instead of "zone" in the launcher table. Make sure your launcher name in the launcher and launcher_zones tables match the name you set telling it to launch in your start.bat.

Heh, yeah sorry about the mismatch... I've tried many combinations of my internal IP and the loopback and it hasn't made a difference, I'll go over the config again when I get home. My first post I had it set to the loopback, then my next post I had changed it to my local IP.

I'm using the PEQ db which uses "zone". I considered that it might be having a problem reading from the db, which is why I tired statically launching tutorialb. I assumed that start zone.exe "tutorialb" would bypass the db query
