If you're running the server and client on same puter, you can just use this in your
eqhost.txt file : Code:
[LoginServer] (I just call it start.bat) The t-start script you have is good, I just don't need it, so I use this, which simply opens up a seperate cmd window for each. Just for testing, you could try this and see if everything is starting properly. You would get 6 cmd windows that will stay open and show what's happening. If any open and close right away, then something is not working right. I have no idea what the installer script does, as I said I've never used it. Code:
@echo off |
Hello,
I've a problem with installer, on both new install vm (vmware 12) 7 and 8.1, script fail to download and tell me i don't have internet connection. Tried without FW, nat or bridged it's the same. Of course internet connection is ok for all other task in vm. Is the source server is still up ? Any advice of what i miss else ? Thanks for reply :) |
I am trying to download this on my new computer to set up a server then copy my old server to it. I cannot get this to extract pearl or Maria DB ... keeps giving an error... where is the old way of setting up a server so I can get this done?
|
I'll check out the installer tomorrow and investigate since people are saying there are errors but not really being descriptive as to what.

Hi, os is in french but you can see the problem i think.

I built a server again today using a brand new system, clean OS install (Win 8.1 x64)
The install script showed a few errors, in and around where the database is being built. Still having all the same issues. I wish I could give you a log file of the installation script. I used to be quite the batch file wizard but it has been soooo damn long ago, well.. you get the idea. Any way you can output the script to a log file? |
|
I've to investigate then, thank you for testing.
Maybe IPS issue, i'll try tomorrow with vpn etc. |
Akkadius... did you try to log in a client and a character?
Sorry, not trying to be flip, but there must be some reason it won't work for me. I've installed on two machines. My installations went all the way through. The server starts up. I can log in and create a character, but then nothing when I try to log character into the world. Am I missing something? Really hoping you can point me in the right direction. Thanks man! Edit: I imagine you are so over trying to help idiot_1_server_builder try to get a server up and running. I can certainly appreciate that. Sorry to add to your headache.. |
Valid issues are fine.
But, ppl use the installer and then make changes that they don't disclose and we have to go on a 'mining' expedition to figure out what they did... That's where the headache comes in. |
I am pretty sure I followed the directions verbatim. Edited the login.ini and eqemu_config.xml to reflect the ip addressed and port #. I am using a brand new rof2 client that was very EZ to find. Edited the eqhosts file to point to the proper ip:port.
I am running the t_start_server_with_login_server.bat. Everything seems to come up fine.. sorry, I am repeating myself. It's late, and I have become frustrated. However, as I have said previously. There were a couple of errors in the installation script. I messed around with trying to output the script to a .txt file so I could upload it here. But that didn't work. Only thing I can think of at the moment would be to make screenshots of it's output. Would that help? Thanks again.. Randall |
You should be able to right-click the icon in the upper left of the console window.
There should be options to select all and copy..then you can paste the output here. |

loginserver.exe shared_memory.exe world.exe eqlaunch.exe zone queryserv.exe ucs.exe zone.exe I have to launch zone.exe multiple times otherwise I can't go to a different zone without it putting me back in the previous one. The start.bat code on the tutorial didn't work for me. When I'm done playing I use that shutdown_server.bat or whatever it's called next to t_start/t_start w login files and it will shut down all the above exe's. |
Got it to work
|
I thought I would report back that I did get things up and running. Although I am far from understanding the whole thing yet, I am making progress.
Thanks you to everyone for all your help... Cheers Randall |

I think I'm having the same problem as the two above minus the connection issues. My install runs fine through perl but when it gets to mariaDB it hangs and sits there. I'm running the install on a fresh win7 premium x64 VM. Screenshot attached, it sits there indefinitely

I will investigate and get back later
|
Just deployed a new one and works fine.

For me the most strange is i can install the linux server script with the same connexion (vdsl2 140m from dslam), but still don't have internet connexion with windows script.
I've same error with my connexion or via my vpn (illiad dedibox and linux with full accept rules FW). I don't know yet what i've to test, because i set a linux server and it's ok for now. |
As I mentioned in another thread, I am having some problems with the server.
Maybe it is related to a difference I had installing it: when I went to change the xml config file, there was no section for the part labelled "Uncomment the address tag and put the local LAN IP" The loginserver2 part I changed, but there was no part with the "DO NOT EDIT ANY LINES BETWEEN HERE AND THE DATABASE SECTION" Could that be causing my login issues, and if possible, how would I correct it? Thanks. |

I think this is a multilingual thing. When you open up command prompt and you type: ping 8.8.8.8 What do you get back? The code is looking for: Code:
if (`ping 8.8.8.8 -$count 1 -w 500`=~/Reply from|1 received/i) { |
Thank you Akka ! that make sens now you tell me, the return word are not the same in french.

I removed the whole ping part in script and now the DL is ok ;)

I'll try that new version tomorrow, thank your for you fast reply Akka.

windows stuck at Connecting to MySQL
Im having a bit of an issue getting my server to work.
The installer installed fine, but upon running t_start_server.bat I get the screens and all windows in orange text are stuck at Connecting to MySQL then they close and restart.. perl.exe screens displaying up/down zones are constantly changing and ucs and queryserver and world report "UP" and "DOWN" This is on my win10 machine. any ideas? George |
Quote:
Make sure shared_memory runs successfully on its own, t_start_server.bat should also run that regardless. |
run by itself, shared_memory.exe loads a dos windows, no text is displayed then shuts down and also occurs with the t_start_server.bat file. right after that the other windows pop up and stop at the Connecting to MySQL section.
I may go back to plain vanilla win10, and go from there. also, I can enter the db ok with heidisql no problem George |
What's shared_memory.exe say when run from a cmd prompt?
|
Quote:
Yeah something going on with shared_memory.exe - but not sure the cause George |
I had the same thing the other day when I put together a test server on my win 7 box,
not using the installer, just a fresh compile, etc. Before I run the server the first time, I ran shared_memory and it did what yours did. But I said to hek with it and started the server up, ran the shared with server running and it worked ok. Been working normally since then. |
Well finally caught a break
With heidisql, went into mysql/user table and overwrote the word 'root' by retyping in the word root (redundant I know) -- then under tools/flushed/hosts, and restarted the t_start_server.bat and it worked just like that. Went into my server, created a character, and all is well. What' ya know! ok, so now off to work on the tools! George |
Install Issues
Running Win7 32-bit Enterprise, latest updates.
Downloaded file from http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?Akkas_P...ctions-windows and noticed that the files inside the zip do not match those in the screenshot, specifically MariaDB is missing, perhaps others. *snip* Korr EDIT : Nevermind I should have read more carefully. I dual boot 32/64 bit and did not realize I was in a non-compatible OS. My bad. I've looked at the Step-by step Server setup guide, which does support Win7 32-bit. Is there any chance of getting this guide updated? Any chance of creating a Server Installer for 32-bit OS's? :) |
Who even uses 32bit?
I love being limited to 3.75gb of ram! |
I only have one desktop machine, and use it mostly for work which is why I thought it'd be a good place to run the emulator from.
But certain work applications will not run under 64-bit so I'm somewhat restricted there, and I don't want to use my laptop for the server and to play. I do dual boot 32/64 but I need to keep my work apps running as much as possible, which is why I asked. Used to play EQ years and years ago, was considering playing on an existing server (may end up being my only option), but the thought of starting over from scratch makes me want to run my own and have my friends over to play on my LAN. I've got a few laptops, but beyond Win7 I only have 1 that came preinstalled with Win8.1 32-bit, which doesn't have the hdd space nor the ram to run the server well (and isn't supported anyways). |
Found part of my issue.
Following the instructions I installed XAMPP. When I went to a prompt and created the 'peq' database, the prompt clearly states Maria DB [peq] MariaDB is part of the server install package, but is 64bit and will not install on a 32bit OS. When I created and ran setup.bat per the instructions, I got a lot of path not found errors. My OS System path had at least 5 MariaDB 10.0 entries which I believe were created everytime world.exe was run? Regardless, MariaDB 10.0 does not exist hence the path is invalid. So can I assume that the package installer itself (and the updater/tools) are incompatible with any 32-bit OS? -Korr |
Located and installed 32bit MariaDB 10.0.27 (not the latest but wanted to be safe). Did *not* enable service.
Ran setup.bat, all path errors gone, updates working! QueryServ still not working. Tried 127.0.0.1, localhost. Just hangs at connecting to mysql... UCS connects to mysql fine, is running. |
When I get this working I'll update my version of the install notes and post if anyone is interested.
LAN install, on a Win7 32-bit machine. |
