Fatal Error. Bad server name. I hate minilogin

i Am trying to run a minilogin server but I keep getting an error saying

Code:

Connecting to loginserver: 127.0.0.1:5998

login server responded with fatal error

bad server name. Unknown reason

in my world.exe.

Here is my config and login

Code:

[LoginServer]

loginserver=127.0.0.1

loginserver2=newlogin1.eqemulator.net

loginport=5999

loginport2=5999

worldname=Pelican

worldaddress=127.0.0.1

locked=false

account=

password=



[WorldServer]

Defaultstatus=

Unavailzone=



[ChatChannelServer]

worldshortname=

chataddress=

chatport=



[LoginConfig]

ServerMode=StandAlone

ServerPort=5999

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

 <server>

   <world>

         <shortname>Pelican</shortname>

         <longname>Pelican</longname>

 

         <!-- address has to be specified for minilogin to work -->

         <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>make up some random string of characters here</key>

         

         <!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service -->

         <http port="9080" enable="true" mimefile="mime.types"/>

   </world>

 

   <!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini -->

   <database>

         <host>localhost</host>

         <port>3306</port>

         <username>root</username>

         <password>pelican</password>

         <db>custom</db>

   </database>

</server>

I'm not quite sure what I would need to do to get rid of that problem.

Did you notice the first box is using 5998 and the others are using 5999?

I just typed that in wrong. Its saying 127.0.0.1:5999 actually. My bad

Does your EQhost.txt file have the correct information?

*edit*
Scratch that. Didn't see your reply. Perhaps the shortname cannot match the server's longname?

changed the shortname to just peli, but still doesnt work.

Try changing the Longname to something with over 10 characters.

Found in the MiniLogin Troubleshooting Wiki

You haven't messed with 127.0.0.1 have you? Meaning you haven't set it in some hosts file.

My eqemu_config.xml reads like this;

Code:

                <!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to.  (read: You dont) -->

                <address>192.168.1.100</address>

                <localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>



                <!-- Loginserver information.  Defaults shown -->

                <loginserver>

                        <host>192.168.1.100</host>

                        <port>5999</port>

                        <account></account>

                        <password></password>

                </loginserver>

My Loginserver.ini

Code:

[LoginServer]

loginserver=127.0.0.1

loginport=5999

worldname=Phobos

worldaddress=192.168.1.100

locked=false

account=

password=



[WorldServer]

Defaultstatus=

Unavailzone=



[ChatChannelServer]

worldshortname=

chataddress=

chatport=



[LoginConfig]

ServerMode=Minilogin

ServerPort=5999

Works like a champ....

Take a look at 'ServerMode' as well!

looks like making the name longer worked. thanks

Or as I found out today, long name ending with an !!! will cause same issue. !
