a ezy lan set up
 

ok really sorry i have not answered any of your questions.

now all this works. for starts your local lan has to be already set up and working.

now for the minilog beening on a different pc other then world db or server. well yes it can. the minilog has to be on the server where the eqgame is ran. u have to add the loginserver file to the minligin file to make it work.

it really simple set this up.
pm with complet set up and ill try to walk u threw complete setup.

i have this set up running on 3 different networks and running strong.

I'm an idiot. I can't even being to get this to work.

I click on the databases tab..I right click EVERYWHERE. I always see either something that says WinNT or Flush Hosts etc. How do I make a new database?!

That howto is for an older version of Mysql.

Open a command window, cd to your mysql\bin directory, and type this:

mysqladmin.exe create eq


And you just created your DB.

Ah thank you. I'm getting most of it now. but I'm using win xp and when I boot5zone they crash.

You need the DB addon for NPC's and doors etc.

As far as quests and zone points go I havent had a chance to look at that yet.

hi,..

I cant find the files: db.sql , loginserver.ini and boot5zones.bat in the folder C:\EQEmu\ and no where else ..

Can anyone please help and tell me what i can do ??

Thanks

Id think the best option in that situations it to Re-D/L eqemu files.

Okay...I can login with EQEmu/EQEmu...and then I get to the character select screen..I select my character. It acts like it's logging into the world...shows the EQ Loading screen. Goes black then boots me back to Server select.

Things that may be doing something:
on minilogin bootup it says: Couldn't open the miniloginaccounts.ini file

The boot5zones file works fine and enters sleep mode..is that supposed to happen?

I am trying to set up my server, and I keep runnung into a problem. I can boot the mini login and the world.exe with no problem but when I try to boot the zones it says.

Error Zone bootup FAILED!
connected to worldserver: localhost:9000

I am running XP pro if that helps

whats a command window and how do i open one.

Command window is (for Win98) start -> run, then type COMMAND.EXE

I was able to get mine working a while back when I was messing with it and it may help if you put everything that is server side (eqemu files and mysql and the database) on one computer and run the game from the other machine. Trying to break it up the way you are doing does not seem ideal. Also trying to run the game from a machine also running msyql is going to give you poor performance if not making you go link dead altogether.

question
I have everything set i get no errors on loading world or zones or minilog. as far as i can tell i have entered all the ips right but when i run eq gives me a 1001 error cannot connect to server ? anyideas?

Ok im a little stuck here...not sure exactally why this isnt working. Im at the part 2 step 4 where i open winmysqladmin.exe and create the eq database. when i right click on the databases area it dosnt show the 'create database' option. So, i ran mysql.exe like the guide says, however, after typing the final command that says 'source db.sql' i dont get the "bunch of lines" or even an error message. it just shows me the '->' again. I tried adding a few ; here and there but none of that worked. When i typed in 'create database eq;' it told me 'error 1044: acess denied for user '@localhost' to database 'eq'. I did copy the db.sql to mysql/bin folder. Any ideas? Would appricate any replies.

make sure you put that ";" after .sql
