Private server issues setup (1st timer)

I've been trying to find the issue via looking at these forums for a while but I'm still having some trouble. My servers / some db tabes are for a specific branch of eqemu so i'm not following Akka's guide 100%.

Getting stuck logging in at "Logging in to the server. Please wait..." No trace hits for anything. All I care about is myself using this server, no one else needs to. Here's what my servers look like.

Anything obvious I'm missing? (I'm aware there is an error in the zone server but I didn't think it was relevant as to why I wasn't getting anything at login.

Think your server is looking for this in your world block of code in config.


<key>somerandomstringofcharacters</key>

I'm curious about the <index>1</index> you have in login ?
Are you using that old mini login ?

Interesting, definitely missed that key. I will try that. Does this random key have to be anywhere else but in the eqemu_config.xml file? Seems kinda strange to set a key and then not reference it anywhere else.

The index was from something I read somewhere that I don't remember =D I might try removing that too. Will try this tonight, thanks for taking a look!

Not sure what your using for config setups, but this a sample of the "modern"

dump_packets_in = FALSE

dump_packets_out = FALSE

[SoD]

[schema]

account_table = tblLoginServerAccounts

world_registration_table = tblWorldServerRegistration

world_admin_registration_table = tblServerAdminRegistration

world_server_type_table = tblServerListType

Thanks a lot DoCanDo. Made it past there! Now I see my server at server select, it says the status is "Locked". I click play and I get "That server is currently unavailable. Plese check the Everquest webage for current server status and try again later". I started debugging it some, but curious if my error is obvious.

In your eqemu config, did you change this ? "Default" in anything means if you don't
make any changes ......

Code:

<!-- Server status.  Default is unlocked -->

                <!--<locked/>-->

                <!-- <unlocked/> -->

Huh, I set <unlocked> in the world section but maybe I forgot to restart the world server? Anyways, thanks again. Made it past that point!

Ok, made it farther this time.
Now I get to the actual character select, I try to create a character and get the message:
"Missing Expansion
Select a different race."

There's not much info I've found on this error. Anyone encounter this before?

Given you are setting up your server for the first time I would say your database is not complete or something did not install correctly. But if you want a more simplified approach start by verifying that the variables table has the expansion field set to a value of 16383. I think 16383 is the default these days.

You might want to follow the guides, get a server working, and then go off on your own. At that point keep a backup of the working code/data and compare to new code/data when problems arise.

I agree with jdoran. What blackdragon was mentioning, that variables value comes with
the current peq by default. Its up to you, but I would also recommend starting from
scratch, with a fresh install/download without any custom edits and go from there. It can
be a pita getting things setup the way you want, I'm still doing that. (chuckle) and got
another month of custom edits left to do. I hope to see you succeed.

Yea that's good advice. I did something similar. I just wiped my old DB, re-installed the EQEMU db and that fixed most of the issues. I'm just stuck on a server issue when trying to zone in (because the server code I'm working with requires a different zone DB than the EQEMU one) but that's nothing you guys can help me with. Thanks guys!
