Unable to start world.exe
 

Hi,

I attempted to set up my own local server using this guide (http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=Windows).

After following all the steps, and seeming correctly, when I click on the shortcut to the batch file, I receive the following error messages:

1. World.exe - Application Error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click ok to close the application.
2. Serverstart.bat is starting EQEmuloginserver (--which stays on the screen for about 10 seconds--)
ECHO is off
Echo is Off.
Waiting a bit for world to finish loading....
3. A dos windows openes (C:/eqemu/eqlaunch.exe)
Failed to open log file: logs/eqemu_debug_1056.log
[Debug] [LAUNCHER_INIT] Loading server configuration..
[DEBUG] [NET_WORLD] WorldConnection connect: Connecting to the server 127.0.0.1:9000 failed: TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error 10061
[Debug] [LAUNCHER_ERROR} worldserver.Connect() FAILED! Will retry.
[Debug] [LAUNCHER_INIT] Starting main loop...


I saw another post to create a Log file under my emu directory. when I did that I got pretty much the same error, but also a log of the problem:

[Debug] [01.19.11 - 16:19:24] Logging System Init.
[Debug] [01.19.11 - 16:19:24] Config System Init.
[Error] [01.19.11 - 16:19:24] Config::Parse(), file was unable to be opened for parsing.
[Error] [01.19.11 - 16:19:24] Database Initialization Failure.
[Debug] [01.19.11 - 16:19:24] Config System Shutdown.
[Debug] [01.19.11 - 16:19:24] Log System Shutdown.


any help would be appreciated.

Looks like it is having an issue with the DB. Post your .ini files / config files.

Looks like you're missing login.ini at least. That's where those 2 errors are coming from.

Hi, thanks for your replies.

Miniserver loginserver.ini

### --- 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.

Are you using minilogin? Have you gotten any further with this?

If you are using MiniLogin check the compile guide in the Wiki:
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=VS2008

...scroll to the bottom, under the NOTES section, and follow the instructions there.

Hi,

I can't say I am any further than I was last. I am using the Titanium pack, so the notes don't seem to apply.
