Anyone got a moment?

[Darubious]

Would appreciate anyone who can take a moment and try to log into the server "Something Wicked...". Reply with the result. Thank you in advance!

I realize this is my first post here. The tutorials are simple enough, so there are not many questions

Can you point me to the ones you used? I'm having endless problems.. this is week 2 of trying to get this running, and I'm ready to just wipe everything clean and start entirely over, using a laptop as a dedicated server for it.

I had problems with obs being indiff, so I compiled the server and it works much better.

I am using dyndns, but having no luck getting others logged in from outside my LAN

my current issue is the login server..
I'm clueless what the problem is exactly.

So, there's no read/write issues on the files here, despite what the program is error saying..

what's your address and port? I'll give it a shot and see if I can even poke into your network/server at all to connect on the default ports with EQ.

Also, simple trouble shooting:
[ ] Port forwarding from Modem and/or Router?
[ ] Firewall allowing connections?
[ ] does dyndns have your current IP? -You can use HFS to auto-update your IP to them. (Http File Server)

[Akyra]

Kodekatt, it looks like it can't find the correct ini file to load. Please note that I found the EQEmuLoginServer zip file on the google codebase wanted a different ini file.

It needed a file called eqemulogin.ini (note the different filename than in the login_utils filder) and the contents to be this:

Port=5999
DumpPacketsIn=true
DumpPacketsOut=true
Trace=true
DatabaseServerName=<db_host>
DatabaseCatalogName=<db_name>
DatabaseUserName=<db_user>
DatabaseUserPassword=<db_password>
OPCodePathAndFileName=login_opcodes_sod.conf

This got it working for me before. Albeit a bit of a nightmare.

Hope this helps.

i have a router with ddns setup, it does everything with ddns automatically. i just had to create a free account. i have port 5998 forwarded to the pc running eqemu. were there others i needed to forward? also, if i am using the public loginserver do would i still need a login.ini or eqemulogin.ini?

[Akyra]

No Darubious. You would just need to ensure that you are connecting to the public login server correctly in your eqemu_config.xml

Hope this helps.

Try using this instead. I don't think login.eqemulator.net is right, although I could be wrong, but try below anyway.

<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

That got it running, but it now crashes when I try to log in, leaving me at an empty server select screen.

[Darubious]

Got everything running. the very second I shut off utorrent, outside connections became available. Lesson learned. Thanks for your help bud.

I never experienced this problem. Is there an error message displayed when it crashes or in the system logs? I didn't really get on with this build of the EQEmuLoginServer so I used the Minilogin instead.
If you can, try and build a version from the latest source as I recently built one and it works flawlessly supporting Titanium and SoD clients. If you're unable to get a build done, jump on to IRC and I can email you the EQEmuLoginServer.exe which I built the other day. Then you will need to hook it up to your login database with the "new style" login.ini and you should be good to go.

Generic Windows report crash window, I didn't look into it really.

But, I pretty much abandoned building it on this system and setup a laptop to run the server, except there's a whole new load of errors.

I've given up on the SQL loading the database without errors, but I can't get the zone part to work now.
