ok found some potential probs

If you have not please recopy your ini's by hand, there were probs i ran into just using the cvs version.. ALSO please dont cut and paste from this site...

my loginserver.ini

also make sure you read the NAT post on the tutorials. I was finally able to log in when i corrected how world, zone, login, and my ports were talking to each other...

Outstanding Troubleshooting to all 3 of you!!!

There was a descrepency in file sizes from the MWblahblah050.sql i downloaded last night and the one i just downloaded tonight.
That was problem # 1 /cheer mattmeck

Problem #2 Arkaria was dead on. All the tutorials use one form of the GRANT PRIVILEGES line to open up mysqladmin to eqemu.
I forgot ,in my rush to start messing with filled worlds after seeing this thing actually worked, that i had used eq.* in the grant privileges line and not *.* . Which had i stopped and thought about it for a minute makes sense that when i ran the database with just db.sql sourced in itwould work because that database is called eq.sql . But when i created eqtest eqemu wasnt allowed in because i didnt re run my Grant permision line to include eq*.* or eqtest.* . I am edumacated now and look forward to my next bout of noobism

Thanks a ton for listening =)

Glad to help.

Have fun running your server :)

eh im using minilogin for my own offline server just to mess around on....

ok friend, Please post your Ini's and what tutorial your using...


Kgaul

.......
 

using no tutorials aint that dumb.... anyways heres my inis


loginserver.ini
[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
loginport=5999
worldname=BAD_ASS_BOB
worldaddress=localhost
locked=false

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=0
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

db.ini
[Database]
host=localhost
user=god
password=god
database=eq
compression=off


eh u want minilogin accounts ini too and boot5zones ?

ok some probs first off. Use a Tutorial

second when you started Mysql for the first time did you use God as the login and God as the password?

Third Pelase check the tutorials to see if 5999 is the port for minilogin. i'm not sure if its that or 5997

yeah the user and pw was same could it be virus or sommat ... doubt it could be but 1 min it works fine next time i try login "zone not available"

have you set static zones? can you log in at all?


Kgaul

......
 

yeah i can get in play the game ect but certain times like a day later i try to login again to play but get zone unavailable

ok here is my best advice. if you can get in, set up static zones in batzone... then use the zone boot up commands and the zonestatus commands to make sure that zone is up, also always log out in a static zone... that will make sure you can get in(barring any other probs)
