Need help starting private server on my computer

[maghiz]

Am i correct in thinking that the client and the server have nothing to exchange until i use the client to login to the server? and since i can't get the server up and running, i don't have to worry about those files just yet?

I'm not sure if my thinking is correct. I thought the client is independent of the server settings until the server is up and running. does the server install change client data? how would it know where i have the client files located to change them?

not sure if i'm comprehending your suggestion correctly.

You can forget about your client, or those exported files, until you get your server up and running. None of the client files will ever stop you from simply logging on to your server, it's all about game play, once you're logged in.

As far as getting your server functioning as it should, log files and errors are the most important to look at and go from there, but I'm not too clear exactly what issues you are experiencing.

redid everything from scratch. running eqemu_install.bat took minutes not hours as it usually does. gave me https://imgur.com/kfZWdIn

then running t_start_server_with_login_server gave me https://imgur.com/Ox7BXFU
