UCS running, but cannot connect

[provocating]

From SVN of like 3 days ago, I compiled fine under Debian 5 linux. All is working and I am very happy with everything so far. In my XML I have ports 7778 for both chat and mail. I have tried the external IP and the internal ip for those. When logging in with either SOF or UF, I still get the red chat connection message saying it could not connect to UCS. I run UCS from the bash prompt and it seems to work, says it connects to world server. Not sure what is wrong.

If you put the line

UCS=on

in your log.ini (log.ini should be in the same directory as zone/world. If it doesn's exist, create it).

Do you see any attempted client connections/error messages in the UCS window ?

Thanks for answering Derision.

Definitely a more descriptive output, I will go ahead and paste it.

But it does not look like the client is attempting to connect. I even changed the client to directly hit the server instead of going through the router, and nothing.

I kept messing with it and finally got this ?

I got it, I found a previous post saying to set Chat:EnableMailKeyIPVerification to false.

At least there is another thread on the problem, never hurts you know !

Thanks for helping Derision.

I'm running on a 64-bit version of Ubuntu and UCS looks like my last hurdle.

I've got tracing enabled in the logs, but there are no attempts at client connection. My config specifies localhost:7778 for both mail and chat. UCS is booting up, connecting to world, and reading from the database. I just can't get to any channels and mail doesn't work. The server is listening on the right port, but no client connections are showing up in the logs.

[Zothen]

My SoD client still cant connect to the UCS. When trying to add a friend, it says something like "Please wait while we are trying to reconnect to the UCS service...".

UCS console window on server says it connected to world...

- Edited eqemu_config.xml to set both mail- and chatserver to port 10234
- Added a port forwarding rule to my router for port 10234 both udp and tcp

Do I need to configure anything in the client to make this work?

[provocating]

In your client ? No not at all. I do not know about changing the ports though. I would think you are not supposed to change the ports. As far as I know the port 7778 is hard coded into the client. Try changing your port back to 7778 for both in the eqemu_config and forward 7778 in your router. Try that.

[Zothen]

Hmm, doesnt work :(

[provocating]

Does the UCS launch and stay running ? Does it connect to the database and stuff ?

What about running EQ within your LAN, not going through your router ?

Also can you put your eqemu_config.xml in a reply for us.

[Zothen]

I have to admit, I am not running a linux OS, but Win 7 64bit...

And yes, the UCS is definitely running and everything looks well on server side.

Oh hell, you are in the wrong place then.

[Zothen]

Well, I searched for UCS problems and saw too late that this is a linux forum

But I am sure this problem isnt OS related so I dont think its worth opening a new thread, or...?

[provocating]

Well you still need to post your eqemu_config.xml

[Zothen]

But I did...
