New server not appearing in server list

[sgaske30]

Hello all,

So I just finished setting my own game server, and I followed the directions in the latest guide (minus compiling, I'm just using the newest binaries). Everything went smooth as can be and the server starts with no issues.

Then, I log in from my Underfoot client (from steam) and I can see a ton of servers in the list, but not mine. I went through and double checked all my settings and everything is right as far as I know. I also double checked the forwarding info in my router and all seems to be good there as well.

I've searched the forum trying to find the solution to this problem and have been unable to find anything relevant. FWIW, I am not new to the community, I've set up and run multiple servers in the past with no issues, but it's been a couple years since I've done this so perhaps I'm missing something?

If anyone out there has the same issue and figured out how to fix it, please share!! Thanks in advance.

Strange, the easiest part seems to be getting the server to atleast appear on the list.
Triple check the login server settings in eqemu_config.xml, and post the world log.

[c0ncrete]

post your world logs.

Here is my world log.

Connecting to login server: eqemulator.net:5999
And your eqhost.txt has the same information?

[sgaske30]

Yes, I can see, connect to and play on everyone elses server. I just can't see mine.

[Vexyl]

I'm not at all sure about the SoD/Underfoot setup for ports, but (AFAIK) the world server should be connecting to the main login server, eqemulator.net:5998.

[c0ncrete]

scratch that. i see what you caught. :)

[sorvani]

I'm not at all sure about the SoD/Underfoot setup for ports, but (AFAIK) the world server should be connecting to the main login server, eqemulator.net:5998.

Correct. Changing the port is only for the players to change to connect to your server. Not for your server to connect to to the login server list.

It should look like this:
<loginserver1>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account>YOUR WORLD SERVER ACCOUNT</account>
<password>YOUR WORLD SERVER PASSWORD</password>
</loginserver1>
<!-- Additional log in servers to list server on -->
<loginserver2>
<host>tsahosting.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
</loginserver2>
<loginserver3>
<host>login.peqtgc.com</host>
<port>5998</port>
</loginserver3>

[sgaske30]

Okay, so what you're saying is:

My client needs to connect to eqemulator.net:5999 and my server needs to connect to 5998?

[sgaske30]

Apparently it is, everything is great now I just logged into my server. Thanks a whole bunch for helping me.

[c0ncrete]

Correct. Changing the port is only for the players to change to connect to your server. Not for your server to connect to to the login server list.

It should look like this:
<loginserver1>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account>YOUR WORLD SERVER ACCOUNT</account>
<password>YOUR WORLD SERVER PASSWORD</password>
</loginserver1>
<!-- Additional log in servers to list server on -->
<loginserver2>
<host>tsahosting.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
</loginserver2>
<loginserver3>
<host>login.peqtgc.com</host>
<port>5998</port>
</loginserver3>

haha. many thanks. i was just thinking i'd like to know how to configure multiple login servers.

[Vexyl]

I didn't know that you could connect to multiple login servers, thanks sorvani.
