If you're going to run your own log in server you need to use the "full" eqemu_config.xml file.
The following is my "ful" eqemu_config.xml file
Code:
<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Max</shortname>
<longname>Maximillian</longname>
<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. (read: You dont) -->
<address>192.168.1.135</address>
<localaddress>192.168.1.135</localaddress>
<!-- Loginserver information. Defaults shown -->
<loginserver>
<host>192.168.1.135</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account>**YOUR INFO**</account>
<password>**YOUR INFO**</password>
</loginserver>
<!-- Server status. Default is unlocked -->
<unlocked/>
<!-- Sets the ip/port for the tcp connections. Both zones and console (if enabled). Defaults are shown -->
<tcp ip="192.168.1.135" port="9000" telnet="disable"/>
<!-- 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. Defaults are shown -->
<http port="9080" enabled="false" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>
<!-- Chatserver (channels) information. Defaults shown -->

</chatserver>
<!-- Mailserver (in-game mail) information. Defaults shown -->
<mailserver>
<host>192.168.1.135</host>
<port>7779</port>
</mailserver>
<zones>
<defaultstatus>20</defaultstatus>
<!-- Sets port range for world to use to auto configure zones -->
<ports low="7000" high="7400"/>
</zones>
<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. Defaults shown -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>**YOUR INFO**</username>
<password>**YOUR INFO**</password>
<db>**YOUR INFO**</db>
</database>
<!-- Launcher Configuration -->
<launcher>
<!-- <logprefix>logs/zone-</logprefix> -->
<!-- <logsuffix>.log</logsuffix> -->
<!-- <exe>zone.exe or ./zone</exe> -->
<!-- <timers restart="10000" reterminate="10000"> -->
</launcher>
<!-- File locations. Defaults shown -->
<files>
<!-- <spells>spells_us.txt</spells> -->
