thanks for the help everyone, i appreciate the help that some have provided

i will go through and again attempt this

and will then try the public server configuration, as that is my ultimate goal

[John Adams]

IMO, it was easier to set up the public server than the minilogin.

OK, here is what I have done. I have switched gears to get this to work as a Public server.

- got a new machine, formatted it, installed XPsp2
- installed Mysql as per 0.7.0
- installed Mysqlllc as per 0.7.0
- installed Perl, and the thee modules, as per 0.7.0
- i did NOT edit the eqemu_config.xml - i left if at the default
- as for finishing touches, i did the following
--> start, run, C:\mysql\bin\mysql -u root peq <and hit enter>
--> the i entered GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eq.* TO eq@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'eq' WITH GRANT OPTION; <and hit enter> followed by exit
- i went into mysqlllc, went into accounts, chose insert a record, added a user named test, with a pass of test, with a status of 250, i lef the ip part blank since this is to be a Public server
- maps are extracted to c:\EQEmu\maps\
- the spells_us and spells_en are in the C:\EQEmu\ folder
- the MSVCP71.dll and MSVCR71.dll are in c:\windows\system32

I have rebooted the unit after all of this configuration just to be safe.

Once rebooted, I started the Run EQEmu shortcut on the desktop. Two blank dos windows open.
1-C:\EQEmu\World.exe it says Using database 'eq' at local host : 3306
EMuShareMem loaded and Loading items from database: count = 54535
2- 0: sleeping this one has the starting logs stuff, loading server config, main loop, and connected to world 127.0.0.1:9000
plus then it gets into starting dynamic_01 to 5, gives launcher_errors 5 times, then starts each dynamic_0X starting at 1 to 5

- i went into my router and did a static port map on tcp 9000 for the outside world to get to the inside server address 192.168.1.71
-from an external host, i am able to telnet on port 9000 to the legal ip address of the router, and it gets passed through to the EQEMU
- I know this becuase it asks me to log in, i login using the password and username of test and test and it gives me the following EQ commands . . .



test> ??

whoami

zonestatus
uptime [zoneID#]
emote [zonename or charname or wor
echo [on/off]

test>



-On the PC that is external, Titanium is installed an patched up to current. I have then edited the eqhost.tx file to point to the legal ip address of the router that is hiding this server. And have the port at 9000.


- When i try to connect to the EQ Server, it just times out. It says unable to connect. On the server though, the world.exe crashes.


- i purposely did not edit the xml file as I am now a victum of info overload so was hoping for guidance and am not being lazy, just would like some help

- I noticed also there is no logonserver.ini when you choose public like there was in minilogon, i saw a post on this saying that it is no longer needed after 6.x or something

-anyway, what do you need from me in order to get this off the ground as a public server ? i appreciate your time

i think i a very close !!!

Well it wont work without changing this, the defaults do not work you need to edit this.

There is 3 entries in the wiki on how to do this.

I know there are things to change, I just am now so confused as to which needs to be changed. Some things I thot need to be changed, say if you think you need to change this, dont cuz you dont. Followed by a if you really think you need to change this, your still wrong type thing...

[tenge911]

I worked with some people on the irc channel last night. They were saying that my configs should work but do for some reason do not.

Can you indicate what three things I should edit to rule that out. I will then format and try the latest version with mysql 5.

It is not that I have not read the guides or the wikis, I have read almost all of it. Probably 5 times. I am just stumped now and am looking for guidance. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

I said there is 3 wiki entries to walk you through what to do, not 3 things to change. People cant help with more then that.

Knowing how to find and fix issues is a big part of running a server, getting it up and running is by far the easy part, you are going to have a much much harder time later.
