Windows Server Installer :: Modular & Scripted

[gimpel333]

I was near done downloading the latest winserver install when my firewall aborted.

Now it claims that link/file has a trojan and won't allow me to download.

Is there a mirror?

Okay, I got it working.

The problem now is that I have another service using the MySQL 3306 port.

Is there any way to change this one to something else?

Thank you very much in advance.

I was having the same issue and made a little progress

I just opened up my task manager and ended the mysql process and service and then tried to boot my world server. Now a couple of different windows pop up and it starts booting world zones, then it boots the UCS which changes from DOWN to UP, then it boots the Queryserv, but after it boots that the UCS goes down again. It basically then ping pongs and boots one but knocks the other down over and over again.

Do have Microsoft SQL Server installed and possibly running at same time ?
(see programs and features in Control Panel)

In my case I don't have anything by that name. Just a bunch of Visual C++ Redistributable files and the .NET framework. I didn't appear to have any other MySQL or Microsoft SQL services running in Task Manager.

Try going into the main server folder in dos (command) windows and running each .exe manually (just to test), each in it own cmd window.
Errors should showup there if there is nothing in logs, as you indicated. Do these in order: (just type the full name)
loginserver.exe
shared_memory.exe (this will run once and quit)
world.exe
(wait a few seconds for world to load)
eqlaunch.exe zone
ucs.exe
queryserv.exe

I'm very new to this. I had no trouble running the installer. Once it finished I ran the "setup_bots" command at the end. Once I started the server and logged in I was able to create a bot and group but the cleric bot did not cast. I looked through the forums and read a post or two about this. I was not able to find a fix. I have reran the "Setup_bots" from a command prompt and still no casting.

From what I can tell, my DB is missing the bot_spells_entries. There are alot of other bot tables just no spells.

Can anyone tell me how to get that table installed. I know very little about doing this. I can access the DB with heidi SQL and make minor changes to char xp ect... I would need specific instruction on adding the bot_spells_entries table if someone has one or can tell me where to find it.

Thanks for the work on the installer Akkadius!!

I was able to resolve this issue. I found a post with the code to add the bot_spells_entries.

Thanks!

Nice installer; worked like a charm with one caveat: the local server doesn't show up in the realm list when I use the local login server. I can log into the server via the public login server, and I can log in to the local login server.

I've tried tons of stuff based on various interpretations of about a dozen sets of instructions and I'm kind of at a loss.

Running on a clean Windows Server 2016 64bit vm on an ESXi host.

I'd set it up as per the Wiki instructions, even adding the <address/> tag that's no-longer there by default.

It didn't work with just my server as

<loginserver1/>

, or with loginserver1 being mine and loginserver2 being eqemu, or vice-versa, even though World reported "Added loginserver 192.168.86.29:5998 in each case.

Solution: Remove the eqemu server but use

<loginserver>...</loginserver>

instead of

<loginserver1>

.

Ha, spoke too soon. My server now shows up in the server list, but the client locks up if I try to log into it until I eventually get a 1017.

If I login via eqemulator.net, the server works fine. Hunch is I have the local login server serving a local IP for the server when I go to it, vs the 192.168 address I get when I go via eqemulator.

[edit]

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
	<world>
		<shortname>Smith</shortname>
		<longname>Chez Smith Server</longname>

		<address>192.168.86.29</address>

		<loginserver1>
			<host>login.eqemulator.net</host>
			<port>5998</port>
			<account></account>
			<password></password>
		</loginserver1>

		<loginserver2>
			<host>192.168.86.29</host>
			<port>5998</port>
			<account></account>
			<password></password>
		</loginserver2>

		<tcp ip="127.0.0.1" port="9001"/>
		<telnet ip="0.0.0.0" port="9000" enabled="true"/>

And

[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 = 192.168.86.29
auto_create_accounts = TRUE

I remember <Prophecy> - I was in <Phantom Raiders> for a short stint.

They had their raiding a-listers - which I was not one .. but, I could out-mez their enchanter any day!

I've done this installation a number of times and from memory it should be option #3 that you go with after a fresh installation; I think you have to do it twice so it gets everything from the database that has been updated.

For reference, I forward the following ports to my server:
7000-7500
9000
9080

This actually perplexes me a bit because network traffic from my client was originating from 192.168.0.31 and the destination server was at 192.168.0.153 so there is absolutely no reason that I can see (and I'm a cisco certified network nerd) that the traffic should be touching the outside interface and the forward should never get used. In fact, none of the private IP ranges, including my 192.168.0.0/24 network are allowed to be routed out onto the internet, so I don't see how it's possible.

I use a Motorola Surfboard SBG6580

I've been in the Cisco world for 8 or so years myself.

One of the things with this is that what the loginserver sees is your outside address, which is what the loginserver will default to tell the client to use to login to the server.

You can set your local address to avoid this

<localaddress></localaddress>

This will keep traffic from going out/in - but if it works, it works and in the end does it really matter

HTH

[kuahara]

Will do that. Thanks.

I understand that most of the time it probably doesn't matter. This morning, it was noticeable because I was having trouble with my connection (ISPs end) and wound up having to reset their equipment, which I think is failing and in need of replacement. Actually... that's not a very convincing argument that things would have been different if I had a local address specified. I'll play around with it.


Thanks again.
