Blank Server Select Screen

BoBo12345 · #1 05-08-2007, 12:19 PM

Well i got the server up and running but for some reason it is still not working on my computer the server select screen is still blank... i followed the minilogin i set the account to IP 192.168.2.13 like it says to in the guide so i know its connecting. Not sure where i am going wrong i have tried connecting on my computer as the server and as other computers.
Also something interesting to note is that when my server is sleeping it says 0: sleeping at the top instead of 7005: sleeping.

Searched for almost 2 hours to find a fix and didn't find anything that works.. using MYsql 5.something and the newest version of perl and the 7.40 EQEMU

also it only gets to this step
[DEBUG] [WORLD__LS] Connected to Loginserver: eqemulator.net:5998
but i never have seen this below step come up but i tried pushing enter anyways to see if it would work
[DEBUG] [WORLD__LS] Loginserver provided YOUREXTERNALIP as world address

Are you sure you're turning off any Anti-Virus software that checks for incoming connections and identified them as a worm (or something like that). I run a minilogin at home, and have to turn Norton off to be able to connect, even from my own machine.

Other than that, your LoginServer.ini looks alot like mine, except for the IP addr.

What does your eqemu_config.xml look like?

and i don't have any anti virus even installed

What's in your eqhost.txt file in your EQ client directory? Hopefully something simple, like:

Code:

[LoginServer]
Host=192.168.2.13:5999

no? That'll have your EQ client looking to your machine for the available worlds...

Your debug output

"Connected to Loginserver: eqemulator.net:5998"

shows that you aren't looking at your local minilogin, but instead at eqemulator.net

techguy84 · #5 05-09-2007, 11:56 AM

Where he said eqemulator.net:5998 is where he was quoting the guide. Given your configs, and the fact that you say your not seeing anything past the

[DEBUG] [WORLD__LS] Connected to Loginserver: eqemulator.net:5998
but i never have seen this below step come up but i tried pushing enter anyways to see if it would work
[DEBUG] [WORLD__LS] Loginserver provided YOUREXTERNALIP as world address

it sounds to me like your launcher is not connecting to the world.exe like it should.

As far as not seeing server select, there has been alot of errors regarding that. The best thing I can recomend is to move it over to the public login and see if you can see anything. You should atleast beable to see others servers, and if you see yours, then we eliminate the fact that something is wrong with 90% of the emulator setup and we only need to focus on the minilogin stuff. Kinda like process of elimination.

Try to also change all references in your eqemu config under the login server to your local IP for the computer its running on. Only use 127.0.0.1 for the database connectino and nothing else.

Also, try booting up zone.exe manually to see if its a launcher issue as to why your zones arnt connecting.

P.S. 0:sleeping is what its suppose to say, this is a bad on my part and I am fixing it now, so long as its the first thing I do after this post.

BoBo12345 · #6 05-10-2007, 11:24 AM

I am having a new error... i realized that i had the server still set on public login instead of the minilogin set up in mysql and now it is saying

****For minilogin to work, you need to set the <address> element in the <world> section... still slightly confused as to why it is saying that

techguy84 · #7 05-10-2007, 05:44 PM

Check your eqemu_config.xml file and your loginserver.ini file. Make sure that the areas that you set up wether your going public or mini are set correctly.

Which MySQL are you running?

Angelox · #10 05-16-2007, 10:12 PM

Here's my config files, you need for mini-login:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
        <world>
		<shortname>classic</shortname>
		<longname>'-=Angelox Classic Challenge=-</longname>
                
                <!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
		<address>192.168.2.105</address>
		<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>
		
		<!-- Loginserver information.  -->
        <loginserver>
		<host>192.168.2.105</host>
		<port>5999</port>
		<account></account>
		<password></password>
        </loginserver>

                <!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
                <key>kowe99888kkk77iwud</key>

                <!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
                <http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
        </world>

                <!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
        <database>
                <host>localhost</host>
                <port>3306</port>
                <username>eq</username>
                <password>yourpassword</password>
                <db>ax_classic</db>
        </database>
</server>

and the LoginServer.ini which is only needed by MiniLogin;

Code:

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

For now, disable any firewalls you have, untill you can pinpoint your problem. Tell me more aout what you have;
WindowsXP? , Two machines in a LAN ( a client connecting to a server)? Router should be no problem , unless you were trying to bring a friend in from outside your LAN.

BoBo12345 · #11 05-17-2007, 10:10 AM

Windows xp... no firewall on... trying to run this EQEmu on this computer and play from this computer... will worry about getting a 2nd computer to log in later... using mysql 5.0... no anti-virus is turned on.. using the eqemu 0.7.0-992.....have tried everything i can think of and everything i can find in these forums to determine the problem and ended up working myself backwards into this current problem...also my config files are now almost identical to yours and for some reason they still do not work (i changed the IP's is all)
0o0o00o i also tried pushing enter on the other window and came up with this and now i get to the 0: sleeping error but it still doesnt show up in minilogin that its a working server...
also another possible key things is that Minilogin is still letting me log in as a client but now it is not seeing the server... everquest connects fine but won't come up with a server.

Make sure you don't have a hidden typo or other character in these two files. if you want , back them up, and copy/past my files, and try them out, you can rename things later. You would still have to change the ips to what ever yours are.

punksatony · #13 05-18-2007, 04:43 AM

Thanks Angelox

I had this same problem with the <address> in <world> and followed Angelox's advice and it worked

I copied and pasted the eqemulator.xml and loginserver.ini files and changed the 192 ip's to mine, <username> to root, <password> to what my password was, and <db> to peq as I was using it instead of angelox's.

Now I can log into the server select screen and it display's -=Angelox Classic Challenge=- (server status 0, is this right?), but when I try to connect to it, everything goes dark (like it's loading properly) then it just sits there for like 20 seconds then boots me back to the username/password screen...

How do I fix this?

Thanks for your help

Angelox · #14 05-18-2007, 06:26 AM

Make sure you have no software firewall mounted for now - make sure you have the right Ip Address in your database for your account: this would be in the account table at the minilogin_ip column < here, you need to put in the proper ip address from your client machine. There's an updater called "php_updater" that will do this for you. I have it posted at Rathe forums: http://eq.ismg.ch/mirkwood/news.php you have to be a member (no strings attached) in order to see and download from the downloads sections.
If you still have problems look into your c:\eqemu\logs\ and post any errors you see.

punksatony · #15 05-18-2007, 07:22 AM

Ok I updated the ip to my ip using the command prompt (checked that it worked with mysqlCC) and this is the result in world.exe during the "loading" while it's essentially waiting to boot me back to initial login screen...

After:
[05.18. - 16:20:56] [WORLD__ZONE] [6] Auto zone port configuration. Telling zone to use port 7005

It says this:

[05.18. - 16:21:19] [WORLD__CLIENT_ERR] : Could not find a minilogin account, verify ip address logging into minilogin is the same that is in your account table.

Do I still need the php updater? I'm pretty sure that doing UPDATE blahblahblah WHERE blahblahblah; works too, right?

Any ideas or help is appreciated, thanks.
