Problems with loginserver.exe

[BlindestMan]

So I followed the fantastic guide for getting a server up and running and everything went really well. I ran the .bat file and it came up but I remembered that I needed a login server (I had a server going a few years ago as well) so I looked into doing that. I found the load_login.sql, sourced that in. Used CMake with the loginserver checked, complied the loginserver.exe and moved it and the .pdb file to my server folder. I also moved the login_opcode files and EQEmuAuthCrypto.dll. Modified the .bat file and ran it. This is the error I get.

What am I doing wrong? What should I check?

Did you configure your loginserver config file?


Not enough info posted to say beyond that.

Are you using your own login server? Or the login server hosted here?

If you don't need your own, it's far far easier just to use the one here.

Thanks for the replies.

login.ini is configured for my mysql server.

[database]
host = localhost
port = 3306
db = peq
user = root
password = <REDACTED>
subsystem = MySQL

I like having my own login server because it is just that much more private. I had one running fine before but that was on a different computer.

try manually entering 127.0.0.1 for host.

for some reason, localhost doesn't always translate properly in the config files...

Wow, I feel stupid. Thanks for all the help, that did it!
