I really really need help (the world.exe problem) Please

[Musubi]

I have been trying for days to get this server to work.
I did everything possible (I think)
Im up to the point where I run World.exe.
I run it, it stays up for like one second, and dissapears.
I have tried ALOT of things and it is making me VERY mad lol.
So I got to the world.exe with the dos prompt and wrote down the whole message...

Using database 'eq2' at localhost
[Status] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEmu 0.4.3
[Error] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEmu 0.4.3
Loading Variables, zone names & items... LoadEMuShareMemDLL::Load() failed error=120
Error: Could not load item data

And by the way, I know that there is another post of this... But it was not getting very far. Hopefully this one does, because there are alot of people with this problem.

Ok update: I now got 4.4dr1 and have a new db and sourced it and everything SHOULD be working right... I run minilogin.exe then once i go to world.exe it just dissapears again ====((((((

Im using a Windows 98 SE.
Im using 4.4dr1.
Im trying to start my minilogin server.
Heres my db.ini:
# READ README.TXT!

[Database]
host=localhost
user=Filled out with my username
password=Filled out with my password
database=Blahh
compression=off


### --- This file tells world.exe what computer mySQL is on. Host should
### --- be left "localhost" unless mysql is on a differant computer than world.exe.

---Here is my 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.

# READ README.TXT

<sigh>
Come on I know someone knows =p

[haywards6]

Ok the first thing I can think of is this

your world server says using database "eq2"

your db.ini database line says database = blahh


Is that what it really says ? I am guessing that it says eq2

let me know if you are still having a problem, I am at work and will be kinda watching this board for the next 8 hours.

[Musubi]

Yes you are correct on those - but the 'blahh' is the servername and its supposed to be there. I had to db eq2 because eq was totally messed up. I did way more than eq2 now... Did like 6 more db's, reformated, reinstalled everything. Still I have not got any farther. Thanks for trying to help though...

Thanks for your attention,
Musubi

[haywards6]

Ok we need to make sure this is straight..In your database.ini file you have database = blahh

That needs to be the name of your database not your server name

[Musubi]

Lol, my server name is blahh also... its my chat handle lol
i think one of the problems 'could' but prolly not be my miniloginaccounts.ini is this:

# Max 200 lines total (including comments and blank lines)
# Blank lines may mess up the line # reported in error messages

192.168.0.2 User1 User1Pass
192.168.0.3 User2 User2Pass


But i was told in alot of readme's something different, tried those, made new db's, etc etc

Still no solution...


Thanks for your attention,
Musubi

[haywards6]

I am trying to make sure you understand the whole database.ini thing I am telling you, you said your database was eq2 right ?

you need to make sure that the line that says database is eq2 also.

[Hardy]

[Database]
host=localhost
user=Filled out with my username
password=Filled out with my password
database=eq2
compression=off

Thats how it should look....

[Raahb]

I had this same problem, so I downloaded version 0.4.2 (Think thats the one), filled in the things needed and it worked ... only now I have a new problem, it says bad password and disconnects when I click world.exe. :(

[Musubi]

Well I tried everything that everyone suggested, but I still cannot get passed world.exe... I am getting a new error message now, a very long one... My mysql.exe basically when everything tries to load gives errors and disconnects, then trys to connect again but cant...
About haywards and hardy's reply... Yes my db says that, I have just been making new db's so much that I just gave up on updating the original post...

C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\error msg

Hopefully that image worked, it is a screenshot of my new message.


Thanks for your attention,

[Musubi]

Aight this is the error message - i see the other one didnt work lol

Failed to connect to database: Error: #2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'l
ocalhost' (10061)

Means mysql isn't running on localhost. Fix that or nothing else will work.

from your first post:
Loading Variables, zone names & items... LoadEMuShareMemDLL::Load() failed error=120
Error: Could not load item data
My first quess is you are using an incompatable DB for EQEmu 4.3

[handay]

your problem is World.exe cannot log to your database. Thats why it stop and disappear.
[Database]
host=localhost

user= < username you created when you installed mysql >
password=<password you created when you installed mysql>

database=<Name of your Database, it should be eq>

compression=off

if you installed mysql correctly you shouldnt have problem

[Musubi]

Yes, mysql is installed correctly... I tried doing it again 3 times and still the same problem... Ive been doing everything from the readme's and texts and everything I can get my hands on... And for the db should be eq, yes it used to be eq like 8 db's ago )


Thanks for your attention,
Musubi

[Musubi]

Well still no solutions yet... Just to keep yall updated

[a_Guest03]

Did you use a compatible database? Lurker suggested that you might have the wrong one. Have you tried the 3 major ones from the World Building forum?

[Musubi]

Ok I found a few DB's that I have not tried yet. I will try them now...
Will get back to you when I try these... Hopefully I can get one of them to work...
