That worked!! Users can now log in. Thanks everyone!!!

If you have a website for your users to login install Apache and php use this below i dug this up from May 2007 was posted on cavedude site

Code:

<?php

/*******************************************

*      Aerewen's Uber Fake Pub Server      *

*         Why? Because we can :oD          *

********************************************



I will be providing no support for this utility as it

was originally created for use on my server only, but I

wanted everyone else to be able to share their PEQ servers

with friends in an easy-to-use manner. This tool will

prevent you from having to manually update the database

account table.



Put this page on your site after setting the variables below to

the information of the MySQL database with the PEQ info in it.

*/

$DB_ADDY = "localhost"; //address:port for the MySQL server

$DB_USER = "root"; //username to login to MySQL with

$DB_PASS = "mypassword"; //password to login to MySQL with

$DB_DB = "peq"; //database name to use "peq" for default installation



$server_name "Name of Your Server"; //set the name of your server here

$admin_level = 250; //default level of admin to give to people who sign up

//This WILL NOT modify admin of people logging in to the server.



/*

Have your friends access this page on the webserver, enter a 

username/password to create an account, and click Login/Create.

This will create their account with the level of access specified

in $admin_level. It will then detect the IP address they accessed

the page from, and update the account table with that IP.



Before connecting to your PEQ server, you should always have people

login from this page to update their IP if needed.

Edit eqemu_config.xml

Code:

                <!-- Loginserver information.  DO NOT EDIT -->

                <loginserver>

                        <host>eqlplogin1.com</host>

                        <port>5999</port>

                        <account>xxxxxxx</account>

                        <password>xxxxxx</password>

                </loginserver>

Enter the same Username and password you put in tblserveradminregistration under peqlogindb
Don't forget to edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Your welcome Warking! I enjoy seen chrsschb flip his desk over heheha 80)

if you still need a file called PublicLogin.exe let me know 80) don't waste your time looking for it i found it in the back of the tool shed.

After the latest 2214 revision has anyone noticed an issue with some clients logging in? I have one client that can still log in fine but sometimes gets disconnected randomly, but it could be his computer. I have another that once he enters his username and password it just crashes.

However, I can login fine locally.

The related thread this is posted in is my setup from earlier in the year. Were there port changes in the latest DB update? Do I need to update my peqlogindb after a peq DB update?

not that i'm aware of warking i had the same happen to me on f2p client (gets disconnected randomly). answer no need to update peqlogindb

Ok I seem to have the same problem down to the T. I can login from internal computers fine but external ones can only get to the login server. As soon as they select the server it just hangs till it kicks them back to login. He said he fixed it with this

Changed the config files to the server hostname. server hosts file changed to add server IP = server hostname. Then Changing the client's windows and eq hostfiles for external IP = server hostname. eqhosts to server hostname:5999

I'm just not sure of what this is. I believe it is telling me to edit my config again and the client side but I'm not 100% sure of what it is I'm trying to edit. All ports are forwarded and external requests and see the server and it says up, but when they try and login it just hangs and won't pass them off to the world. I'm not sure where to go because it doesn't even give me any errors. I can see the fix seems to be right here I just don't understand it. Can anyone help me out with this a little?

make sure your server is setup as a public server under variables in your peq database

Already did. For the life of me I can't figure out why the login server won't hand the client off to the world.

edit eqemu_config change the host to your real ip address or dot com etc. on the local use your network ip address

Here is my eqemu_config

<server>
<world>
<shortname>old</shortname>
<longname>Old School</longname>

<address>192.168.0.9</address>
<localaddress>75.134.xx.xxx</localaddress>

Address and local address are reversed. Local is your local network address, address is your public address on the internet.

Yep that was it. Man I guess I have been looking at this for too long to have missed something so simple. Thanks for the help! Up and running like a champ now.

im still figuring it out trying some stuff first before posting alot

Code:

[Fri Apr 25 15:40:23 2014]00043:*** WorldAuthenticate.  Error connecting to 75.114.228.31:9000 [client:DisconnectReasonConnectFail,server:DisconnectReasonNone]

[Fri Apr 25 15:40:23 2014]00044:Networking: Connection Closed [0] with 0 pending bytes.

[Fri Apr 25 15:40:23 2014]00045:*** ERROR: WorldAuthenticate has failed after attempting to connect.

It's an old post start as step 9. and read this might help you a lot.
what your server just told me your problem is on step 11
