having some trouble....
 

I'm trying to setup a minilogin to play with the server and play machine being the same machine. I went through version 7 with mysql 5 guide in the wiki and couldn't get it to work. Started over and tried using Cavedude's installer. I have the same problem with both. No server connection. I get to the login screen type in username and password and get the error "cannot connect to server yada yada...." When I run world.exe it goes to loading items and stops. I think this is how it's supposed to work.? I've tried forwarding the ports but that didn't work either, with either setup option.

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>minilogin</shortname>
<longname>My Minilogin</longname>

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>127.0.0.1</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>eq</username>
<password>eq</password>
<db>eq</db>
</database>
</server>

###Your current configuration is as follows:

loginserver.ini:
[LoginServer]
loginserver=127.0.0.1
loginport=5999
worldname=My Minilogin
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=
[ChatChannelServer]

worldshortname=
chataddress=
chatport=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Minilogin
ServerPort=5999





[LoginServer]
Host=127.0.0.1:5999






Right now my computer is hooked up to the internet through a d-link router. I've tried both installs with and without the router the wan port on the router is hooked up to a cable modem. Is the router necessary to run a minilogin?
My client is for sure good, I can play on the public servers, after changing the host of course. Anyway, Any ideas would be so much appreciated.

If you are running Server and game on the same puter then you dont need to worrie about the router. You have to make an account in the database with your IP that you connecting with before you can log in. You can do this by a command line adding Changing where it says Admin to the name you want and Changing the IP of Account to your local IP or you can add it by using something like MYSQLFront or another program directly to the database.

Or have you allready done this?

I think this is right but I'm not sure. I used MysqlCC to open the account table.
Id=1
name=mini
sharedplat=0
password=mini
status=250
lsaccount_id=[NULL]
gmspeed=0
revoked=0
minilogin_ip=127.0.0.1
hideme=0

All other fields are blank. I go to login and type mini as the user and mini as the password. I get the same error. If i type just any random jargon into those fields I get the same error.
