1017 error on private server install

[Norrwind]

Tried removing the hyphen...no change. Seeing this in world window:

[World Server] Account (newaccount) Logging(In) to character select :: LSID: 4
[World Server] Attempting autobootup of qeynos2 (2:0)
[World Server] (Erkang) Zoning from character select qeynos2 (Zone ID 2: Instance ID: 0)
[World Server] Account (newaccount) Logging(In) to character select :: LSID: 4

Read in another post about "localhost" vs "127.0.0.1" being used in various places. Any chance that could be causing something to point in the wrong direction? also any way to turn up logging information?

127.0.0.1 is what you need to use, all the way. Forget "localhost". I posted that "working" sample config for you. The intentions was for you to use it, without changing anything, other than usernames, passwords, and server long/short names, leaving everything else as is.
It's up to you, but with telnet disabled, you can use port 9000 (not 9001). That config I posted is what I am using right now on my own local server. If you get working configs set and you're still having problems, then you can start looking at other areas as the cause (and leave the configs alone).

when i re-made mine from win 7 to win10 after os install, i had some problems. i had to set teh exe to run as admin, if i recall.

i turn uac off and such too... so not sure if that's another impediment, or if it's even the same problem.

if you can't run a .bat as admin, then make a shortcut, then set that as 'run as admin'. assuming all the other dinking around didn't cause more problems along the way. sometimes starting fresh is the best option too.

i treid a ton of stuff over and over.. then ran as admin and it magically worked for me, lol. i did the x64 compile and used the script to d/l database and other stuff. swapped out exes et al., after. only use script to update dB, now.
