can't get server list

[eski2]

I installed the recommended versions of mySQL and Perl, and rebooted, then ran PEQServerPack-Maps-4.0-1110a.exe
and didn't seem to get any errors.

loginserver gives

LoginServer.ini read.
[Status] Loading opcodes..
Server mode: MiniLogin
Login server listening on port:5999
38578 New client from ip: 127.0.0.1 port: 1264

eqemu\eqlauncher gives:

[Debug] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_2600.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...

And when i run C:\minilogin_EverQuest_eqemu\starteq.bat I can get to the point where a list of servers should appear (or at least minilogin) but nothing appears. What am i missing?

I'm sorry if it is obvious but all this is new to me.

Have you started world?

The Emu programs are world, eqlauncher and zone. Zone is started by eqlauncher. World is not, so has to be started separately. Is this a windows or linux server and are you using start.bat (or just start under linux)?

I'm using win xp. When i ran the installer, it put 2 shortcuts on my desktop, one to C:\EQEmu\start.bat, another to C:\minilogin_EverQuest_eqemu\starteq.bat
and i ran these in that order.

Start.bat has

@echo off
start minilogin.exe  
start world.exe
echo Waiting for World to finish before starting Zone...
sleep 20
start eqlaunch.exe zone

which seems right. I don't know what is going wrong.

From the messages in your first post, eqlauncher is unable to connect to world. There are several possible causes:

1. world.exe is not running
2. a firewall is interfering with the connection (unusual when using 127.0.0.1 as the address)
3. there is an error in the eqemu_config.xml config file

There are probably other causes that I'm not thinking of right now.

I would check your logs folder and see what messages you are getting from world.exe. Post anything interesting you find.

I looked at the log files and i'm guessing something is wrong with the eq database but i don't know any SQL. I thought the installer was supposed to set it up; but either it missed something or i did.

Looks like the login and password in your eqemu_config.xml doesn't match the account created in mysql. If you provided a password during the installation, I would suggest editing eqemu_config.xml and putting that password in the appropriate place.

I can't remember what all that installer does so I can't say exactly where things went wrong. In any case, if you can figure out the login and password for mysql and put it into the config, it should work.

I don't really know what to do with SQL. If I uninstall and reinstall it, how does it get a database with a username and password of eq? Is the peq d'base downloaded separately?
