Blank Server Select Screen

[Angelox]

Any luck yet? here's some Sql lines you can run -

This will check to see if the IP is proper;

SELECT minilogin_ip FROM ax_classic.account where name = "angelox";

ax_classic is the database in use and angelox is the account name

UPDATE ax_classic.account set minilogin_ip="192.168.2.103"  where name="angelox";

this will set the IP address via SQL command shell. so you can cut/paste use these with proper account name and IP use the first one for checking

If you put in the same minilogin ip for two accounts, the emulator will go down the list and use the first one it sees.
check your eqhost.txt , make sure its proper. I don't think it's that anyways - seems like this should work. tell me what database are you using and how did you install it?
"identified stream 192.168.1.2:1618 with signature Titanium_world" indicates MiniLogin found and sent the account to the server.
"Could not find a minilogin account" indicates the account does not match with the client machines ip.
try this;
on the server, Ping the client machine where Everquest is coming from;
run "command" and type

ping machinenamehere

it sould come back with the ip you entered in the database - if not, yell me what happens.

EDIT;
Also ping your server from the client, see what it says

yea 192.168.1.2 is definitely my IP

I had 4 accounts, and the first one was an old one with 127 as the IP so I deleted them all and created a new one with the 192 IP (came up as id 17, others were numbers before that obviously)... and I noticed now that when I try to connect to the server, which is when the world.exe says all that stuff, the minilogin says that new client or whatever is trying to connect from 127.0.0.1... does this mean that a residual account, one that was "deleted" or whatever but somehow still is there, is the one that is being defaulted to, or is this normally what happens?

Also I noticed that I can get into the server select screen typing in whatever username and password I want, regardless of what accounts I have created... does this bear any significance? I can log in using the accounted UN/PW obviously but the same results happen... boots me back to that screen when I try to connect to the server.

MiniLogin only looks at IP address and nothing else in the accounts table - you type in username/password on the client, just to please it.

the minilogin says that new client or whatever is trying to connect from 127.0.0.1

this could mean you still have a bad setting somewhere - post ne your current LoginServer.ini and eqemu_config.xml.

Also; you haven't don anything to your windows HOSTS file?

wow I feel like an idiot,

haha it was my eqhost.txt... I thought it was supposed to be 127.0.0.1 as it says in the wiki guides for Minilogin server... changed it to my IP and problem solved.

Thanks for all your help, and I hope this will aid others in the future.
