Can't run server

[lerxst2112]

sleep isn't actually a valid command in batch files unless you have a sleep.exe laying around somewhere.

If you do want a delay, which you really don't need, there are some usable techniques listed here: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/wait.php

World.exe tells me
[02.10. - 23:38:25] [WORLD__LS_ERR] Could not connect to login server: 127.0.0.1:5998 TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error: 10061

Eqlaunch.exe tells me
[02.10. - 23:38:34] [LAUNCHER__ERROR] World told us to start zone dynamic_01, but it is already running.

These are perfectly normal messages. You will see them on a working server as well.

I'd take the sleep line out and see what happens. It doesn't do anything useful, and if you did happen to have a sleep.exe in your path somewhere that did something foolish it could cause problems.

If you still have issues it's time to look at the logs the server generates and look for errors.

resourcing the whole DB to use the MiniLogin works for some reason. Seems like it's something finicky with the EQLoginServer.

Reading these boards, it seems like the MiniLogin is old and outdated, but if I just want to login and play by myself with bot party members, is there any reason not to use it?

Guess I just learned something new. So the sleep.exe has no purpose now? What did it do in the past?
