Personal Server Log on Error.

[Furinex]

Ok, I set up the server, did the entire read me, but when I was at the server select screen, I clicked my Server "Furinex's world of disjunction" and it didnt even get to the loading screen, it went back to the server and gave me this error:

Cannot Log In To EverQuest Server. You May Need To Re-Run The Update Patch. Repeadidly Seeing this Message Indicates a Loss of Connectivity to the Patch Server. This is Usually Temporary

I dont believe them, Its not too temporary.. Im stuck, what do I do?

Post your config files, and the contents of the world and zone screens

Loginserver.ini:

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- do not add an account and password unless a EQEmu Dev member has created an account for you.
### --- adding an account and password only grants the server a green name and is not needed.

REM: ****Read this first!!!****

REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "YourIP" when you are connecting
REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver.

REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say 127.0.0.1

REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1

REM: zone9x.exe is for use with Windows 98 and ME only.
REM: If you are running Windows NT/2000 or XP use ZoneNT.exe

Im not quite sure how to copy the contence of a dos window, wanna gimmie a hint?
then I'll post the rest..

[Lurker_005]

To be a public server 192.168.254.1 needs to be your public internet IP Otherwise using minilogin or publiclogin is better. Publiclogin is unsupported and harder to set up though.

Is your eqverquest patched to the current live servers? If not do so before they patch the live servers today or tomorrow.

[Furinex]

Yes it is patched to the current version. I am Behind a router... does that matter?

[meliudaj]

I am Behind a router... does that matter?

Very much so!

You need to put in the IP address of your routers WAN. The ip address you presently have in appears to be your PC's NIC IP. That IP is a private IP. Meaning it does not, can not exist on the internet.

This make sence?

[Furinex]

Alrighty, I got the Minilogin to work, how would I have my buddy with a computer on the same network log into that? (BTW, Public server still having problems :( Same as before, Anymore help on that would be spiffy)

[Lurker_005]

Basically change 127.0.0.1 to 192.168.254.1 everywhere, except after the port# in boot5zones.bat (like the config you posted, but using 192.168.254.1 for the loginserver.

All computers would login with eqemu login and pass. and don't try to use the same character on 2 computers.

[Furinex]

Thanks, I'll try that, Any other ideas on the public one tho? or is my router fucking me over :(

[meliudaj]

What lurker_005 said is exactly right.. but guessing that you wana have you and your buddy both on.. and your Both on the same Lan..... Read this thread

[Furinex]

Gah, no zones are pop-ed with mobs :( lol, is there coding faq anywhere?

[meliudaj]

Lurker_005:

Mini login will allow muli peeps to log in as emu at the same time???

[Lurker_005]

For running a public server, use your internet IP instead of 192.168.254.1 and try that.

Regarding copy and pasting the dos windows. Clikc on the dos icon in the upper left corner of the window. Chose edit, you should be able to figure it out from there.

[Lurker_005]

yea, it only allows the eqemu login, but it allows more than 1 login to it.

Download drawde's db.sql

copy it into your mysql/bin dir

mysql.exe
drop database eq;
create database eq;
use eq
source db.sql


This will dump out the original db.sql you have loaded and load his db.sql.... It has a good number of mobs populated threw out the world.
