what do you have in your .ini files? this will most likely point us to the problem.

cheers,

(by this i mean loginserver.ini, db.ini, boot5zones.bat)

[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
worldname=[worldname]
locked=false
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
account=
password=

there is something about ini.worldserver
i think in the error. I use this setting so i can use the mini log to run SOL.

Sounds like your trying to define a hostname that doesnt exist for the world server in your INI.

You need to change the IP in boot5zones.bat to "localhost"
assuming you're running a local/offline server. 127.0.0.1 doesn't work for some reason even though it is the actual IP of "localhost" on all PCs (as far as I know)
This error also caught me out when 1.9 was released, it took me a while to figure out!

Another approach is to use the actual IP.. not 127.0.0.1 or localhost.. I use the real IP of the machine and it works beautifully.

heyas,
this is sorta off topic but could someone tell me exactly what to put in the Boot5zones file? i've followed the read-me up to this point without a hitch but im doing something wrong since i get an error 10061 when i try to run it. my apologies for being so newbieish, thanks.

generally you would change the IP addresses to whatever your machines IP is (either LAN or Internet, up to you).
