Always update your binaries while you server is down.

The update is immediate and nothing more needs to be done.

You can then update your database manually (while your there) or world.exe will update it once it's started.

Hail, Forum Members! I'm totally new here and tried to set up a server, but it fails straight away. After following the directions (run in admin mode), I get the error:
bin\wget.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command,
perable program or batch file.
Error:eqemu_server.pl] MySQL path not found, please add the path for automatic database upgrading to continue.

This is not a clean install because I don't have a spare computer right now. I would love recommendations to get this running as my brother and I have played off and on for a couple decades and want to try things on the admin side. Thanks!

Transcenden did you find a fix yet? Did you run the vc_redistx86 file? It might fix it.
I recently started myself. The only reason I found out about it was I kind of stumbled across a video (link below) that told me it was possible. Hammerj installs with Linux but if you know enough to do the same in windows it works perfectly:

Migrating Client Files
 

I am posting this here, knowing the most of the developers may not respond right away. It's not a rush on the answer. First of all thanks to all the people that put this together, and kept this going. My family is all gamers "the family that games together, stays together". However, that can get a little costly for dad, so this is an answered prayer!
I am not a coder. I know I'm going to have to get into it and those questions will come later. I have installed the server and it works fine. However, I just have a couple questions. I followed HammerJ's instructions on loading a local private server. The computer I've loaded it on is acting a little quirky. Getting those hard drive sounds like it wants to stop working. Is there a way to migrated my client characters to a new server install that doesn't require a smart person to do it, AND does running the eqemu_server.pl update delete you local client characters?

Thanks again!

Just Wiped the System
 

I ended up wiping out an old laptop I had and installed it on a clean machine. Worked fine. I messed around with it a bit, but ended up putting it on the shelf for now... it's not fun unless you get people to play!

Is this still available anywhere now that the wiki is down?

Hi I'm having a few issues setting up my server through VM using win 7 ultimate SP1 64bit fresh install.

When running start server bat file, it says at the top "The system cannot find the path specified", then after it opens a more cmd windows I run into a zone.exe system error window that says I'm missing a file named libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll. Not quite sure where to take things from here.

Hopefully this is right place to ask questions.

Link in Original Post isnt working can we get it updated please?.

Hi all.

I've been attempting to set up a local server and I'm struggling with getting the client to load and was hoping for some guidance from the group here.

In other threads I've read that we never want to launch Everquest.exe. Doing so would result in EQEmu setups to be overwritten with the latest from Daybreak. I've followed EQEmu's basic installer steps for Windows (https://eqemu.gitbook.io/server/cate...a-login-server) but I'm finding links broken and steps lite on their description.

For instance, at the link just above there's a section titled Connecting to Local Login Server. But I don't have the .bat file I read that I should have. My Titanium cd's didnt have that? Unsure why it's missing. And if I run Everquest.exe I a) worry I'll overwrite with the wrong update from Daybreak and b) have actually tried and it fails to connect.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You are NOT looking for a .bat file in your CLIENT folder. That link above, that I quoted has a section for Client Configuration.

Oh, wow, how'd I miss that!? Thank you, Huppy. That was the only change I was missing. With the shortcut created my local server is up and running.

Unable to connect to server remotely
 

Greetings to all, another newbie here.

I set up the EQEmu server on a fresh install of Windows 10, on a machine dedicated to the server. It took a little bit of manipulation of the configuration files to get it running, but overall I was amazed at how easy it was.

I can connect to the server with my own client just fine. I get to the server select, I scroll down to my server, and log in. For me, it works perfectly.

The problem is that when I asked my brother to connect, he was not able to. He can see the server in the list, but when he clicks on it to connect, he gets an error 1017. (He can connect to other servers without issues).

I have tweaked my config files, and did a good bit of browsing these forums, but I have been unable to get the server to connect remotely. Before I spend more time searching, does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try? I can paste my config & setup files if I need to.

Thanks very much in advance.

I got it working. Port forwarding, of course.

I have downloaded, unzipped, and tried reloading the eqemu_install.bat multiple times but it keeps failing with the MySQL portion always getting the error message that reads "[Error: equemu_server.pl] MySql path not found, please add the path for automatic database upgrading to continue...
Press any key to continue"

Then it exits. Is anyone else having this issue and if so what is the resolution.

I found eqemu_server.pl but it won't open I can open it in notepad but that does not help. Any ideas? when I click on it nothing happens. I would love to get bot's to work but I'm confused on the install of bot's it is above what I'm able to do so far why can't they included bot's already installed so it doesn't have to be done any help would be appreciated.

Trying to setup a private server so that I can play around solo. I used to be able to setup the server on an old laptop (that's now dead), but now I can't set it up on this new Win10 laptop.

When I run the eqemu_install.bat, I get the following error message:

[Update] No connection to the internet, can't check update
[Update] No script update necessary...
[Error: eqemu_server.pl] MySQL path not found, please add the path for automatic database upgrading to continue...

I've already added "C:\Program Files\MariaDB 10.0\bin" to the Environment Variables "Path"

"mysqld" is also given permission to access both Private and Public Network in the firewall.

Need some godly advice on what else I can try....

EDIT: I've also created a .txt file that's "skip_internet_connection_check.txt" in the same folder as the "eqemu_install.bat" file, but that's not done anything.

Server working.

Started getting: [Quest Debug] [lun_debug] [command.lun] key 1 value on
Command #GM on not recognized

After: #GM on

Can any one help please
Reinstalled server and client

Hey, I used an installer to build a local server for me to test the PEQ tools and learn how to well create stuff. But the installation despite following the guide gives me an error about connecting to the legacy server and world server can't connect due to not having a matching username and password in the database. I'm new to this kind of thing so anything helps.

is this installer still valid?

i've been trying to get it to work all evening, with no success... trying the linux version now.

when i go to start server, i get an error ...
could not read packagejson file c:\users\vboxuser\appdata\local\spire\assets\packa ge.json the system cannon fild the file specified

I looked manually, and it isn't even there. it goes ... \spire\assets\assets\.. etc

and help would be appreciated!

(also forgive typos... )

https://docs.eqemu.io/server/install...ation-windows/

Follow the instructions there. Disable windows firewall then run the installer. RE-enable the firewall and make sure to add a rule for the server port eg TCP 5999. IF you dont know how to stop/start/create rules then chatgpt is your friend.

htdocs for webserver?
 

I am wanting to run some php pages in the root of the webserver but I can't find where it runs from. The one that Spire runs from.
