Problems logging into server
 

Hi all

I just compiled from CVS and i've come across a strange problem logging into the server. The server isn't behind a firewall and I've tried using the machines external IP and also updating the hosts file to point to the machines fqdn but alas i still can't login.

Just to note I can install VMWare on this box and run a windows server without any connection problems so I'm pretty sure my client EQ files are all perfectly fine for this build. Plus i can connect and play on other servers.

It's not really an error but I get the following:

25098 New client from ip: 86.137.36.201 port: 2328
Client disconnected
Removing client from ip:86.137.36.201 port:2328

Client disconnected
Removing client from ip:86.137.36.201 port:2328

Again and again... until my client pops up with 1017

Any ideas?

you lack some files locate at source, in utils directory like commands.pl, plugin.pl, addon.ini.. etc. Perhaps try with that ? what tutorial you follow ?

Hi Belf,

I'll try adding the perl files in to see if it makes a difference. Do they affect how login is handled?

I followed the guide within the Wikki and used the source mentioned in the DevBranch entry.

Added the missing perl files but i'm still unable to login. It's also not creating any entries in accounts.

Ok i found some problem in your config :
don't write
./zone.bin . 217.158.94.106 8775 217.158.94.106 &
but
./zone.bin . 217.158.94.106 8775 localhost &
or
./zone.bin . 217.158.94.106 8775 127.0.0.1 &
for all zone server you run, i think connection problems are here :)

Sorry i should have said:

I've tried

217.158.94.106
localhost
127.0.0.1
a fqdn

for the second address when booting zone

Still no luck i'm afraid! Thanks so far for your help

I don't know why that don't work...
Have you test your internet connection ?
It was Stable ? (no short cut ?).

Or perhaps !!! one idea !
What is size on spell_us.txt on your emu directory ? (not client)
with linux, better is use the LAST spell_us.txt and not one before 9/13.

Hi Belf, i can confirm my internet connection is fine (works ok from a vmwared windows session). My spells_us.txt is 4.54mb dated 08/09/05.
