### --- This file tells world.exe what computer mySQL is on. Host should
### --- be left "localhost" unless mysql is on a differant computer than world.exe

Change Encounter to localhost. If that doesn't work, change all localhost's to your IP address. If that doesn't work make sure you've added user/account to mysql and granted. If that doesn't work, search for 1017 error. Has a *lot* of posts for fixes. Could be version...

[wize_one]

bet he patched after feb 10th.

Try looking at this thread for 1017 http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12827

[nilar]

Shouldn't loginport2=5997?

[samandhi]

Yep, good call..

[nilar]

Also, are you using a router?

[DeathMan]

No router...

And I'll get to that loginport thing.

[DeathMan]

ok....now what?

# READ README.TXT
[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginport=5997
loginport2=5997
worldname=Sonic's non-legit
worldaddress=65.40.13.212
locked=false

Ok first of all, HERE is what your loginserver.ini should look like:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net
loginserver3=eqlogin3.eqemulator.net
loginport=5997
loginport=5997
loginport=5997
worldname=<your server name here>
worldaddress=*****************
locked=false

Secondly, what version of the emu are you trying to run? If you are trying to run an older version, and are patched up to present, you will continue to get this error...

Also, you need to post your world.exe and zone.exe output to see if there is anything there that would help us help you...

[nilar]

Yeah make the changes that sam posted to loginserver.ini. Also make sure you have a recent database which can be found on a sticky in the World Building section. If you patched since GoD went live you will need to use the 0.5.5 DR1 version or else your gonna get a 1017 error. If you havnt patched then you can use the 0.5.2 DR3 and everything should work fine.

[samandhi]

0.5.2 DR3

Should be 0.5.3 DR3

[nilar]

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net
loginserver3=eqlogin3.eqemulator.net
loginport=5997
loginport=5997
loginport=5997
worldname=<your server name here>
worldaddress=*****************
locked=false

Should be

[LoginServer] 
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net
loginserver3=eqlogin3.eqemulator.net
loginport=5997
loginport2=5997
loginport3=5997
worldname=<your server name here> 
worldaddress=***************** 
locked=false

Hope this will fix your problem

[samandhi]

Loginport<#> is irrelevant. If you were using different ports for each different loginserver then you might specify that there be a number, but since you are using the same port for all, this is NOT needed.......So it COULD read loginport=5997 for all three, and you would NOT have a problem...
