Is there anyone know how to run eqemu across mutiple sever

[rambus]

I wish to run eqemu across two seprate servers, one is for zone.exe and the other is for world.exe and database. can i ask how to make the configuration?

I've never done it before personally, but I believe you'd do it like this:

Server 1 (World Server):
Have the following in your eqemu folder:
World.exe
EMuSharedMem.dll
eqemu_config.xml
eqtime.cfg
opcodes.conf
patch_Anniversary.conf
patch_Live.conf
patch_Titanium.conf
.\worldui
.\templates
spells_us.txt

Server 2 (Zone Server):
Have the following in your eqemu folder:
.\quests
.\maps
.\plugins
Zone.exe
eqemu_config.xml
eqlaunch.exe (if you use it)
EMuSharedMem.dll
eqtime.cfg

eqemu_config.xml for both servers:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
	<world>
	    <shortname>Whatever Your Server's Short Name Is</shortname>
	    <longname>Whatever Your Server's Long Name Is</longname>
	           	           
	<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
 	<!-- <address>127.0.0.1</address> -->
	<!-- <localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress> -->
	   
	<!-- Loginserver information.  -->
	 <!--    <loginserver>  -->
	   <!--      <host></host>  -->
	    <!--     <port></port>  -->
	    <!--     <account></account>  -->
	    <!--     <password></password>  -->
	    </loginserver>
	   
	    <!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
	    <key>Some Long String of Text That You Come Up with (must be the same on both servers)</key>

	    <tcp ip="Read explanation of this at the bottom of the post" port="9000" telnet="disable"/>

	    <!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
	    <http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
	</world>

	<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
	<database>
	    <host>IP Address of Server 1</host>
	    <port>3306</port>
	    <username>MySQL Login Name</username>
	    <password>MySQL Password</password>
	    <db>Database Name</db>
	</database>
</server>

After that's all said and done, set up port forwarding on your router/firewall to send requests over tcp/udp 9000 to your world server's IP address, then ports 7000 - 7100 to your zone server's IP address (depending on how many zones you want to run, each one will need a port, and they increment from 7000 - whatever the last one is).

You will also need to make sure that MySQL is configured to allow your MySQL Login name to connect from the zone server. If you're using "root", the default option in MySQL is to not allow it to connect from any machine other than "localhost". So you'll need to fix that too.

Again, I've never done it, but I believe that would work.

Explanation of "<tcp ip=" tag.
DNS Name of Server 1 (this must be accessible by the public, and zone server, you can accomplish this by creating a host record for the public DNS record, then specifying name and IP in the host record on zone and world servers - i.e. myserver1.dyndns.org = 72.34.56.123 to the public (your public IP), so on your zone server's host file (assuming you're using window: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts - open with notepad), you'd make an entry for: myserver1.dyndns.org <tab> 192.168.1.65 (your world server's private IP address). Then on your world server's host file, you'd make an entry for: myserver1.dyndns.org <tab> 192.168.1.65 (your world server's private IP address). Now, when the world or zone servers try to access myserver1.dyndns.org, they will get the internal IP address of your world server, and when players outside of your network try to access myserver1.dyndns.org, they will get your public IP.

actually the .conf files need to be in the eqemu folder on the Zone server.

There is a post by me around here some where explaining my setup. I run a number of different computers together for my server. I run anywhwre from 2 to 5 computers to get the server load spread out. Mysql and world with 10 dynamics or soo and the rest of the computers 1 to a continent. with this setup I have 181 zones static 20 dynamic. runs fine with no problems. its all about your xml config file.

Thx TheLieka for the reply. I had tried this method, but it took about 15mins to boot up the remote zone and when ppl trying to enter this zone, time out occured. Dose anyone know this issue? Or, maybe I forget some contents?

Here is where ROJADRUID shows his config files. Take a look and see if your is different...
