Can't see my server in server selection

[Randymarsh9]

I changed everything around to be like that, but I still can't see it when I try to log on.

Does your World.exe show that is connected to your login server?

For this you need to make sure you have set up your database for minilogin:

update variables set value='MiniLogin' where varname='LoginType';

I typed that in in mysql, but I still couldn't see my server in the selection screen. I am still getting errors like ---------------------------------------------

Okay it looks like your problems extend much further than just what you described in your first post.

I suggest that you head on over to the wiki and make sure you have set up your server correctly.

I might go ahead and suggest starting all over, it will really help you out in the long run to understand things.

I'm almost certain I have done it correctly. I did this the first time, and I got these same problems, so I actually already did redo it. I uninstalled everything, got fresh downloads, and did the guide again before posting here. I've already tried it multiple times.

From your last post it's pretty clear that you skipped something. When I was new here I had roughly a zillion problems, most of which I'm sure everyone goes through the first time around. It's nothing to worry about, but getting into something like this warrants thorough examination of guides and really putting in the time to try to understand what it is that you are doing.

Tell you what. Try this.

Go into MySQL and type:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localohst' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD' WITH GRANT OPTION;

replacing PASSWORD with whatever your mysql password is.

That ought to solve the problem with the database connection.

well, i tried that and I still am having the same problem. I looked online and it looks like a lot of other people have this problem as well. I'm probably just going to reinstall everything and try again though.
