Problems w/ Login.exe on network....

[morpheus014]

First of all I just want to make it clear that i do understand that Login.exe is an unsupported release and im not demanding help for this.... Ok with that out of the way here is my problem:

I have just gotten a new PC and setup the emu on it, but I want to make my old PC into a server for my entire network to use (3 PC's total) I set up the EMU and MySql on the old pc and everything seems to work fine on that. I set up my account excatly as teh readme in login.exe said to.... but when i try and log in on my new pc it gives me a bad username/password error. My files look as follows:

OLD PC (SERVER):

Not sure what the problem is with this that it is giving me a bad username/pass error. I also get an error in the World.exe on the Server pc that says:
WORLD.EXE:

ANY help on this will be greatly greatly appreciated! :P

Just to be clear, you want to run mysql and the EQM on your old computer, and connect to it with your other 2 computers.

My advice, first get minilogin running on the old computer using 127.0.0.1 ip addresses (you won't be able to connect to it with the other computers, just get it running without errors) Then change the 127.0.0.1 to that computes Lan IP 192.168.1.x in loginserver.ini and the FIRST IP in boot2zones

start zone9x . 192.168.1.x 7995 127.0.0.1 ect...

Make sure that runs without errors, and you can connect 1 computer to it. Then try to get the public login running.

I am not sure why you posted config files for the new and old computers, but you only need to run the Emu on your old computer.

Just posted configs to be safe-- I got the new version a few hours ago and got everything set up with the new V0.9 world data DB -- public login works ok until i try and get my World.exe to connect to it. I still get a ghost kick,-- not sure why this is happening but the public login is giving me a new err file thing. It is as follows, when run on old PC (its ip is 192.168.1.3 for the record) :
EQEMU Public Login v1.01P:
Using database 'eq' at localhost

Again thank you all for the help and patience on this-- it is a pain in the butt working out these problems :P

From the loginreadme:

Note: If you have trouble with the id, you can do the same as the logins to set the id, do this like so:
update login_worldservers set id='1' where account='accountname';

If the id is NOT equal to 1, you will be unable to use the world server on the login server.

[Lurker_005]

I checked this out some, an empty login and pass in loginserver.ini causes this (which is how you posted yours)

These should be what you created when going through the loginreadme

I got the same message when i did not have the login account in my db.sql, Know what i mean? add the accounts to your database. try it thaats what happen to me. i hope this helps

See http://forums.eqemu.net/showthread.p...;threadid=1471 for some relief on seting up publiclogin (the 12 account login server)

[morpheus014]

Ok I will read over that page and see if I can get this worked out. Im not sure why I get the error in publiclogin.exe -- it does it right as I start the program, not when i try and log in. Anyway thank you all for the help on this, and I hope it helps out others who have this problem.

Ok, I got my server running without errors on my old pc (the server) but no matter what I do i get a EQemu: Badusername/password error every time i try and log in on the new pc(client). Ive tryed reauthing the account and everything, using the update function-- nothing seems to work. Any help working out this new problem would be great!

[Lurker_005]

You are creating a seperate login for your client computer? and using your client computers IP address?

[morpheus014]

I created a seprate login for my client PC, and put it into LoginServer.ini. I still get "EQEMU: Bad username/pasword" error when I try to log into the emu on th client, and im using the host PC's ip for the loginserver.ini.... No clue what is causing this. Ive tried reauthing the account and it isnt helping-- again, thank you all for the help on this, i really appreciate it.
