Hmm, I did that but I am still having problems. I think that it is just not connecting to the database. After almost every command it says 'Database Error: Lost connection, attempting to recover...
DB Query error #2006: MySQL server has gone away...'


I'm not sure how to fix this.

I did everything the way your instructions say to do them, and I am still having the problem with 2 of the 3 not being found. Install BDI, and Install-BDB-Mysql. I have even went thru and uninstalled and redownloaded everything. I am also getting the username and password problem when starting world.exe, ect. please help. thanks.

Right..Thats whats happening..I dont remember how I fixed this when I set mine up. But i can say it wasnt a big deal.

Doh! Try and remember plz =p

I also get that same bunch of errors.

Well I am redoing my server tonight so I wil ltest this and make sure I have everythign wiritten down. this is my first tutorial so I hope I havnt missed anything. I wil lreplay with any fixes that need to be made.

As for the perl, if it says its already there thats ok, if you get an error, you might need to ask in the support forum I know harly anything abotu perl to be of any asistance.

OK I started from scratch again tonight, used the guide 100% (I used cavedudes DB though this time) and it works fine.

So I dont see anything I missed.

redo the grant all privaleges part for this

DB Query error #2006: MySQL server has gone away...'

Its not connecting to your database.

now, the IP address that I got from that link is different from the IP that it shows on MySQL, which should I put into the files? I tried the one from the link, now Im trying the one from the MySQL. Also, under the User CP on the forums, under misc. where u go to manage your account, there is a 'Server Account'. Mine says 0 of 1. Does it have to be 1 of 1 in order to run a server?

I edited the DB.ini, Loginserver.ini, and Boot5Zones, all to match my forum account, and then to match my eqemu account (for EQ). and I am getting this error:
Connected to LoginServer: eqemulator.net: 5998
Login server responded with FatalError. Disabling reconnect.
Error message: 'Account/Password invalid'
209.165.244.252:5998: TCPConnection::RecvData<>: Error: 10053
Database Error: Lost Connection, attempting to recover....
DB Query Error #2006: MySQL server has gone away
Error: DBAsyncCD_LoadVariables failed: !GetAnswer: #2006: MySQL server has gone away'

Leave the passwords blank..You dont need a server account. Its possible to get it going with all the Ip addresses set to localhost. But only you can get in then.
EDIT>>db.ini needs passwords you used in mysql though..Dont leave those blank.

Okay, I got it to show up on the server select now, but I am getting 1017 when I try to log in... On the Boot5Zones at the end I end up with 5 different boxes, 7997, 7996, 7998, 7999, 7995, and each one says: sleeping.

The only error I get now is:
Couldn't open './addon.ini'-

at the end it says;
[Status ] Loading commands
[Status ] 179 Commands loaded
[Status ] Sarting EQ Network Server.
Starting factory Reader
Starting factory Writer
[Status ] Entering sleep mode
Connected to worldserver: localhost:9000

Also, when I start world.exe the first line i get Failed to open log file: logs/eqemu_world_2664.log

Ok, im gonna uninstall everything and try it again. Hopefully it will work.

Woohoo got it to work. But everyone crashes when they zone, anyone know how to fix this?

i am using 'localhost' on every IP, just trying to get it to work. i got it to list on the server list, but i cannot get past the damn server select, i keep getting 1017. any idea?
