- - Windows Server Installer :: Modular & Scripted (https://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=40299)

I built a server again today using a brand new system, clean OS install (Win 8.1 x64)
The install script showed a few errors, in and around where the database is being built. Still having all the same issues. I wish I could give you a log file of the installation script. I used to be quite the batch file wizard but it has been soooo damn long ago, well.. you get the idea. Any way you can output the script to a log file?

Just tried a windows install, works fine.

I've to investigate then, thank you for testing.

Maybe IPS issue, i'll try tomorrow with vpn etc.

Akkadius... did you try to log in a client and a character?
Sorry, not trying to be flip, but there must be some reason it won't work for me. I've installed on two machines. My installations went all the way through. The server starts up. I can log in and create a character, but then nothing when I try to log character into the world.
Am I missing something?
Really hoping you can point me in the right direction.
Thanks man!

Edit: I imagine you are so over trying to help idiot_1_server_builder try to get a server up and running. I can certainly appreciate that. Sorry to add to your headache..

Valid issues are fine.

But, ppl use the installer and then make changes that they don't disclose and we have to go on a 'mining' expedition to figure out what they did...

That's where the headache comes in.

I am pretty sure I followed the directions verbatim. Edited the login.ini and eqemu_config.xml to reflect the ip addressed and port #. I am using a brand new rof2 client that was very EZ to find. Edited the eqhosts file to point to the proper ip:port.
I am running the t_start_server_with_login_server.bat.
Everything seems to come up fine.. sorry, I am repeating myself. It's late, and I have become frustrated.

However, as I have said previously. There were a couple of errors in the installation script. I messed around with trying to output the script to a .txt file so I could upload it here. But that didn't work. Only thing I can think of at the moment would be to make screenshots of it's output. Would that help?

Thanks again..
Randall

You should be able to right-click the icon in the upper left of the console window.

There should be options to select all and copy..then you can paste the output here.

To get mine to work I had to manually start these files and do them in this order:

loginserver.exe
shared_memory.exe
world.exe
eqlaunch.exe zone
queryserv.exe
ucs.exe
zone.exe

I have to launch zone.exe multiple times otherwise I can't go to a different zone without it putting me back in the previous one. The start.bat code on the tutorial didn't work for me. When I'm done playing I use that shutdown_server.bat or whatever it's called next to t_start/t_start w login files and it will shut down all the above exe's.

I thought I would report back that I did get things up and running. Although I am far from understanding the whole thing yet, I am making progress.
Thanks you to everyone for all your help...
Cheers
Randall

I'm having the same exact problem as this guy. Followed the directions to the letter and got this. Running Win 7 64, tried installing on my D drive. Also I'm on satellite internet which gives a high ping, 6-700. Could this be part of the problem?

I think I'm having the same problem as the two above minus the connection issues. My install runs fine through perl but when it gets to mariaDB it hangs and sits there. I'm running the install on a fresh win7 premium x64 VM. Screenshot attached, it sits there indefinitely

I will investigate and get back later

Just deployed a new one and works fine.

Glad to hear this. Let me know if there's anything more I can provide or do to help resolve the issue.
