Connecting to Server after Update to. Json

[ionhsmith]

I just updated my server that I was able to login to and other people could as well to the json config and now my server doesn't even show up as an option in the server list. All of my ports and stuff are still the same. Do i have to edit anything in the json config to make my server available again? If so what edits do I need to make?

Post your .JSON with your passwords and sensitive information removed.

[ionhsmith]

Everywhere it said removed was a password and username that was input

Public login still needs the 'legacy' flag, right?

[ionhsmith]

I have no idea what that is... I can't connect via lan either cause the server doesn't show up in the server select list

[Uleat]

Check in the \backups folder of your server directory.

The old xml version of your config should be there and you can do a setting-by-setting comparison.

[ionhsmith]

I did that already... it looks the same. Do I have to have a world server log in account or something like that now?

[Uleat]

Someone else posted a post-json issue that had to do with their login.ini `local_network` setting.


EDIT: I am just tossing things atm...

[Kingly_Krab]

Your .JSON has this:
"host" : "localhost"

This is mine:
"host" : "127.0.0.1"

[Uleat]

Hmm...

Wonder if it's translating to the IPv6 address instead of the IPv4 one?

[ionhsmith]

I've tried to change all localhost to 127.0.0.1 and still have the same result

[ionhsmith]

Is there a way to revert back to my old server before the updates so that the players can still play on it until we figure this out?

[Akkadius]

Under "loginserver1" which is your eqemulator loginserver entry, you need to make sure you specify the legacy flag, this is documented here:

https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/wiki/eqemu_config#loginserver

This was in the changelog and you can see an example of this in a config here:

https://github.com/Akkadius/EQEmuInstall/blob/master/eqemu_config.json#L32

This legacy flag depicts a connection via the old netcode

Once you add that you should be good to go

[ionhsmith]

That was it ... thanks guys it works now

[ionhsmith]

well I opened my mouth too soon. I can get to the character scree but the only one that can log in is my GM ... my other toons on another account goes to to disconnected screen

[Uleat]

Do you have a "locked" flag in your config?

[ionhsmith]

nope don't think so but it just started working all of a sudden. Haven't had any more issues so far
