Hi-
I've been trying to set up a private server and I've run into some issues. I'm having trouble resolving them after wading through the forums and re-examining the guides. I am very much a rookie.
Windows Vista 32, firewall disabled, no Antivirus, using Xampp and Titanium
I used the following guides:
https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/wiki...,-No-Webserver)
-Except, it was the most recent version, can't link since it was modified last night. Followed by:
http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/sho...nt=14%E2%88%9E
And when that didn't solve:

PROBLEM: Cannot Connect to Server (can't log in)
I am very sure that I followed the steps correctly, and I ticked the appropriate boxes in CMake for a private server as per the guides. I think I've narrowed it down to these questions:
1) I set up the server (gathered and installed programs, mysql etc) prior to installing the EverQuest Client. I am not using the EQEmu launcher. Would that normally be a problem?
2) When I start.bat my server (with MySQL via Xampp ON), loot, spells, and so on (database resources) load successfully. However, I included the necessary steps from the guides to use bots, and I received bot-related errors in my World.exe window. I then decided I didn't care about bots, and sourced dump_bots.sql or what-have-you, but I still get the errors after doing that. Would that prevent me from logging in? (listing the bot errors at the bottom of this post)
3) I can't tell if my server is reaching a point (on starting) when it is ready to be logged into. I do receive the four windows, but they are only present together for about 5 seconds, then I am left with World.exe and a window titled "0: sleeping." Is that normal operation?
I am very confident that my EQEmu_conf, login.ini and eqhost are correctly formatted and point to the correct places and so on. My start.bat does initiate the loginserver prior to the rest. Also, I did add my account to the database successfully with no errors.
/In case you were interested in the bot errors/
ERROR Bot View Discovery: #1146: Table 'peq.vwbotcharatermobs' doesn't exist
Unable to clear-
group leaders
groups
raids
raid details
and x2:
[Error] EQLConfig::LoadSettings: #1146: Table 'peq.launcher_zones' doesn't exist
Then I just keep getting some error regarding AdventureManager GetLeaderboardinfo repeatedly
Thanks guys!
