a Problem.
 

Hi,

Recently, I've had an issue with my server. I can load and connect everything fine, but when I (or anyone) tries to load into the world it says the zone is unavailable. On any zones.

I've checked everything...and no errors...and my IP hasn't changed either so, does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?

Post the output of zone.exe, and world.exe (when this happnes), and the contents of your load5zones.bat, (or as some are now calling it boot5zones.bat)...

the stuff
 

This is what's in World.exe...

you proally screwed up the db

You didnt post your load5zones.bat...

all of your lines should be like this:

start zone . ExternalIP 7995 InternalIP

I think everyone calls it boot5zones.bat these days, as this is what it has been callled in all the official releases from at least 4.3 onwards.

Well, shit I just downloaded 0.5.2 (which had all those file in it) and your right... Now I feel old haha... Because the last time I downloaded the server that had all of the files in it (loginserver.ini, BOOT4zone.bat, and so on) it WAS called load5zones.bat... Dont mind me.... :)

Everything in boot5zones, loginserver, world.exe, and zone.exe output are fine. I have had him send me all of the content in it and there are no errors in anything. A few days ago he tried to bootup server, everything ran just fine, but getting the Zone is Unavailable message. Everything was working fine a few days ago. He said he didnt change anything at all and his IP stayed the same. Gonna try starting from scratch im thinking it might be database.

It COULD be the DB, but I would have him recompile zone.exe and try that....
