Dumping back to Server Select when tyring to enter world. H

[meliudaj]

At this point I'm very out of Ideas.

I can get logged in.

I can see my server.

I can create a char.

I go to try and enter in and One of my zone servers acts like it loaded Freeport. Then boom dumps me back to server select screen.

I can get into others servers.

My server is on a Win 2k box.

Been trouble shooting it for 2 days now so I have learned alot.. but still no luck.. Please help.

db.ini:
[Database]
host=127.0.0.1
user=****
password=****
database=eq

LoginServer.ini:
loginserver=eqlogin.eqemu.net
worldname=darbyhut
locked=false
account=
password=
worldaddress=209.180.64.208
loginport=5999

Be my guest to try and log in yourself for you to see what I mean.

Thanks and I will be watching this thread to respond quickly.

FYI server is up and running right now for you to test with.

i had the same prob on my win2k box what i ended up doing is resetting the db. drop the old one source in a new one and check your eqhost.txt loginserver.ini, and db.ini vs the readme. oh and make sure that your desktop is set to 16bit color mode for eqw..

More detail on:

"dropping the old one sourcing the new one..."

I have (what I though) blown away the db.sql that comes with eqemu many times and brought it back in. What exactly did you do there?

[Lurker_005]

Go to mysql/bin

mysql.exe
drop database eq;
create database eq;
source db.sql
exit

Go to your Emu dir

world.exe flag eqemu 200

If that works ok then try to log into your server. And you might want to set eqemu back to 0 for security reasons.

will try.. haven't gone as far as dropping the database out yet.. just kept re-sourceing it.

I did do a remove of the data/eq dir... and then source the db.sql again thinking that was the same. I'm not a very big database fan

STILL the exact same problems... Getting dumped out to server select just after I try to enter world.

Any one know what exactly is going on at that step... Who what comp is talking to and so on!???

[meliudaj]

Woot.. Got it.

All along it turned out to be a friggin type-O in the boot5zone.bat.
