EQEmulator Forums - Can't get beyond the login screen

Hey guys,

I set up eqemu version 0.7.0-1118 on an Ubuntu 7.10 box. I already have a webserver running on it (Apache + PHP + MySQL), so I skipped all instructions in regards to getting these things set up (Apache + PHP for a custom database editor from peq). Ideally I'd like to log in and play when I'm not at home (http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...kka=MiniLogin), i.e. not within my internal network. I've cut back on that ambition to try to get it to work internally.

I can't get beyond the login screen.

My server is behind a router, but I've already set all relevant requests to forward on to my server. That is, I have the following ports set to forward on to my server (not all of which are relevant to eqemu):

80 (HTTP)
22 (SSH)
8080 (Custom music server)
8000 (Torrent interface)
17415 (slsk)
5999 (eqemu)
9080 (eqemu HTTP)

I have wine installed through the repositories, and it's running MiniLogin. Compilation of eqemu went through O.K. after following the guide here (http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...anLinuxServer).

The server's internal IP address is 192.168.1.2
The server's external IP address is 63.249.90.243

I have configured everything clientside correctly (I think). I modified eqhost.txt and altered a shortcut to the Everquest executable. Yes, I am running the titanium edition, and no, I have not patched to the live version. Following are my configuration files:

eqhost.txt:

Code:

[LoginServer]

Host=192.168.1.2:5999

eqemu_config.xml:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0">

<server>

        <world>

            <shortname>Dragonslayer</shortname>

            <longname>Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?</longname>

            <!--<address>192.168.1.2</address>-->

        <!-- Loginserver information.  -->

            <loginserver>

                <port>5999</port>

                <account></account>

                <password></password>

            </loginserver>



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

            <key>some long random key</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>192.168.1.2</host>

            <port>3306</port>

            <username>root</username>

            <password>*************</password>

            <db>dragonslayer</db>

        </database>

</server>

LoginServer.ini:

Code:

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.

### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.



### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.



### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.

### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

And here is something fairly disturbing: the contents of MiniLogin.log:

MiniLogin.log

Code:

LoginServer.ini read.

[Status] Loading opcodes..

Server mode: MiniLogin

Login server listening on port:5999

Failed to open port 5999.

Why would it fail to open that port?

If anyone has any ideas or needs more information, please let me know.

Thanks,
