Server has stopped responding!

[Uleat]

You are using your own local login server, right?

Post the config for that, if you are, please

Dropping the extra login shouldn't have killed that.

I posted it on the last post but here it is again. this config kills the login.

Oh, sorry..meant the login.ini file info

[Thallandor]

[database]
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 3306
db = peq
user = root
password = eqemu
subsystem = MySQL

[options]
unregistered_allowed = TRUE
reject_duplicate_servers = FALSE
trace = TRUE
world_trace = FALSE
dump_packets_in = FALSE
dump_packets_out = FALSE
listen_port = 5998
local_network = 10.0.0.2
auto_create_accounts = TRUE

[security]
plugin = EQEmuAuthCrypto
mode = 5

[Titanium]
port = 5998
opcodes = login_opcodes.conf

[SoD]
port = 5999
opcodes = login_opcodes_sod.conf

[schema]
account_table = loginserver_server_accounts
world_registration_table = loginserver_world_server_registration
world_admin_registration_table = loginserver_server_admin_registration
world_server_type_table = loginserver_server_list_type

The only thing I've changed in this is the IP of course. Oh wait, i think i changed localhost to 127.0.0.1 per most other threads I've read. Although it should resolve to that anyway...

[Uleat]

I'm pretty sure the xml (and now json) version correctly translates localhost.

I'm not 100% sure on the login.ini version..but, that should work in yours, regardless.

local_network = 10.0.0.2

I always tell ppl to use this format

local_network = 10.0.0.

If you're doing a vm or have other 'advanced' set up criteria, there may be reasons not to do it that way..but, you really want it listening to all network traffic and not just that address.

[Thallandor]

Ok. You're a genius. I'm not sure why, but that worked. Removing that last octet, for some reason, made the character select transition to a zone in to the world.

Now i'm clueless as to WHY that worked. If i'm directing it to the specific IP I would think that would be better than making an generalization.

I actually don't have any problem using a public login but I want to get things working first.

Anyway, Thanks for the help all!! If something stops working i'll be back (and probably for newb questions on customization too.)

[c0ncrete]

Local network is more of a mask than a specific IP.

As an aside, you can always lock the server to where only certain accounts can login via the public login server. That way you can get everything set up before "going public" without wanting to run into traffic. Alternate login servers have been something people (self included) have struggled with for as long as I can remember.

[Thallandor]

Interesting. Are you talking about the setting that tells it to create accounts?

As far as the network thing goes, all security back up and back to the main router and it's still working today so that definitely was the fix. That being said, I did think it was weird that it specified "local network=". I just figured it wanted the IP address of the server. I didn't think it literally wanted the NETWORK without the host of the IP. LOL! I guess it was there in black and white.

But honestly, most people won't know that. Most of the people I deal with only know networking as "dude you got wifi?" and that's the extent of their knowledge. Perhaps a better label in the config?

Just my 2cp. Thanks again.
