1017 error
 

There is the possibility for a 1017 error if the following conditions are met:

1. You never activated your account.

2. You logged into a server using an inactive account not knowing it was a bug, the login server should not have allowed the login to an account that was inactive.

3. Your account was deleted because it was never activated.

4. You created a new account with the same name as the old one.

5. You try to login to the same server you did before your account was deleted, only to get a 1017 error.

Because the world server checks the users login server id along with their account name, whenever you signed up for the second time and got a new login id, it wont match the one that the server has in its database, so it will reject the connection. The fix is pretty easy.

Note: This is for server admins with database access.
Say the persons account name was Bob.

Update account set name='OLDBob' where name='Bob';

Have the person login. To restore their characters and stuff:

Select lsaccount_id from account where name='Bob';
Write that down.

Delete from account where name='Bob';
Update account set lsaccount_id=(WHATEVER ID YOU GOT FROM THE ABOVE SELECT QUERY),name='Bob' where name='OLDBob';

Thats it, it should work fine after that.

What? i dont understand this at all, im getting 1017 on my server, and it takes about 40 min total to completely boot it all up, once its all up, i get on from my other computer and try to log into, the server isnt locked at all, and i get 1017, unable to log in.

so what do i have to do.?.?

This post has avsolutely nothing to do with a minilogin server. And don't post to incredibly old dead threads.

hmmm
