Issue with private lan server.
 

After messing around with this for a good minute, I cannot seem to find a fix for this.

Every time I load my eqgame.exe and attempt to log into the server select screen using the account name and password I designated it, it comes back telling me:

Now I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I have searched all around the forums for some kind of fix to this, but I guess I am overlooking it somewhere.

I looked into my PEQDB and I did not see a table listed as "LoginServerAccounts" but I did have one listed as "Accounts" and when I inspected it, it had my account that I created using the MySQL command line.

Any and all help towards this would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if someone could tell me how to register my server so it can be seen on the public server list, that would be great too. (I came across the command one time, and since then, I have failed to find it again.

Thank you for the response, I will test this out and see what I can get from there. Will post if it worked or not.

I was attempting this, and I got to the part where he says to insert some files into your DB folder.... Is he talking about C:\mysql\data\>db name<?

The instructions are pretty clear. You need to go the the directory it names under where you downloaded the server source code and import the file it names using HeidiSQL or whatever other utility you use to manipulate your database.

I understand that it is pretty clear, but I am talking about something like :

It tells me to copy them into my server folder, what is it talking about?

The next instruction tells me to download and install HeidiSQL, that is why I am asking this, if it was as simple as importing the files, that would have been done already.

(Sorry if I am sounding like an asshole or something, just I am new to this and trying to figure it all out. Instructions are not clear where this "Folder" is supposed to be.)

It is referring to the files downloaded in step 5. Download the EQEmuLoginServer.rar from the link provided in step 5 then extract those files to your emulator directory. Proper use of the files included in the EQEmuLoginServer.rar will allow you to correct the error you are encountering.
Downloading and installing HeidiSQL is to make it possible to view the sql tables that you are manipulating instead of only seeing a command prompt.

Okay, thank you.

From what you posted initially it seemed like you already had the login server running and you had simply missed adding the proper tables to your database. Those instructions tell you how to add them.

If you already had the login server setup then you wouldn't need to follow any other steps telling you to move files around since presumably you had already done it.

I finally got time to test it all and I got it working, the server is there, I am not receiving any issues at all until I go to log into my server select... Here is what it is showing me. (I have looked at the other forum related to this that says that I need to check my .ini files, but I did that, and still get the same issue)

Here is my MiniLogin Info:

And here is my EQEmuLogin info:

Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks.

assuming MiniLogin works like EQEmuServerLogin, the first thing that stands out to me is that the loginserver section of your config is missing both an account name and password.

I suspect these would also need to be registered with a world server registration like table. And in the case of EQEmuServerLogin, the world server config's short and long descriptions need to exactly match the registration for that world server.

if that doesn't work, try getting EQEmuServerLogin and trying these steps ;-)

When you say Account Name and Password, are you refering to the account that I am going to be using to log into the server with?

Unless you have very specific reasons to use minilogin, I would never recommend using it. You can do a search and see all the problems it causes(Im sure in its day it was useful).

Running off the public login is not only easier but when you eventually decide to open up your server(which most people do), then you are already set up.

However you do not need to enter a loginserver id or pass in the xml file, that is simply if you have created a worldserver account(see login server page). If you do not enter that then you server will show as unregistered on the server status page but you can still run a server.

I don't have a reason as to using it, I just want to be able to log into my server and test out a bunch of scripts I have been writing without having to send them to somebody to test.... They will have been tested fully and they can just use them minus the bugs lol.... So... However to accomplish this, that is the "Very Specific Reason" lol.

So to do that... use the stock eqemu_config.xml configuration, run world and then run zone and you can log in. Its the easiest possible way.

When I said specific reason, I meant like if you knew what you wanted out of minilogin that you couldnt get out of the public server, not your general reason for setting up a server.

So this is what my .bat file looks like... is this correct?

Here is a copy of my log with the error that I am getting now:

And here is a copy of my eqemu_config.xml file:

And a copy of my eqemulogin.ini file:

Those are all the files that I'm aware of that you guys need to look at?

I am using a no-ip.org address.... should this be changed to something else?

How do I check to see if something on my system is running from port 9000? I used netstat, and I didn't see anything with that port number.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated... Sorry once more for being a noob :???:

Also, I am not running any firewalls while I am testing this. Both Router and Windows are turned off......

there is so much wrong with that lol... when you are done thinking you need minilogin you can get your server running with the info already in this thread in 5 min.

Alright, I finally got my server to run, only issue I have now... No items.. EVERYTHING else is working great (Many thanks to those that helped me get there).


Any suggestions? I have sourced ALL codes SEVERAL times, and most of them just give me errors like "Duplicate entries", or "Duplicate Column Name" or something to that effect....

Any help?

Check your logs for errors.

if you are getting dup errors then the scripts are not correct. Start with the db_dump.sql in the svn and source 1900+. I finally got my server running today and want to assist as others did for me.r

I got it to work ty...

Got my server up and running. Thanks to all that helped me get here. Now I have an issue where NO ONE but myself can log onto my server, even though it is on the Server Select list.

I have a Dynamic IP Address, so it is always changing, but I read that I can use sites like no-ip.org or dyndns.org that automatically connects everyone to my new IP (When it changes).

I created a no-ip.org address, and I inserted it into the eqemu_config file, but it still won't let anyone log on.

Any help with this please?

Here is my eqemu_config.xml file:

If any other file information is needed, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Port forward the following on your router:
EQ ChatServer UDP 9080
EQ Client UDP 9000
EQ Zone UDP 7000 : 7500

Thank you for the response sorvani, and I tried that:

But it still won't let anyone onto my server. The ones that try tell me that it acts like it is going to log in, shows a black screen, and then kicks them. Any other suggestions please?

Thanks in advace :)

I don't have my original config handy, but I think I needed to change this to be my dns host instead of localhost:

<tcp ip="localhost" port="9000" telnet="enable"/>

Now, that will block you out because most routers don't allow loopback, so you will also need to edit your windows hosts file to forward your dns to your local machine.

But, not 100% positive if this will be your problem.

I was able to set my server up to see the tcp ip as the server.name.org that I set, but now I am running into an issue of ports.

1. I forwarded ALL ports that needed to be forwarded through both my router AND modem

2. I turned off ALL my firewalls while testing this (Modem, Router, Computer)

3. I went to canyouseeme.org and tested the ports that needed to be open and it came back with :
4. I called my ISP and they confirmed that they did not have any of these ports blocked.

If anyone has had any kind of similar issue to this and can help, it would be greatly appreciated. :)

(Once again, I would like to thank all those that have helped me come this far, a VERY VERY VERY big thanks.)

P.S. Should you need to see any of my config files, the one(s) posted above are VERY similar to how they are now, but if they should need to be seen currently, please let me know and I will post the data.

I suggest running your modem in a bridged mode rather than trying to route through both modem and router.

I don't know how to bridge... Any suggestions on this?

What brand/model is your modem?

My modem is a westell e90-610014-16 and my router (Should it be beneficial to know) is a Belkin G Wireless F5D7234-4 V5. Hope this is all the information you will need :)

(Thank you for helping me btw :) )

Found a walkthru at http://mysite.ncnetwork.net/res08lyg/6100.htm

It worked.... sorta. I am having to use my router as the "modem" for the minute as to not change anything that I did to the actual modem. I followed everything it told me to do, only I cannot access my modem any longer through the designated IP (192.168.1.1).

I have a Belkin G Router, how do I "clone the mac address"?

If you're on the internet, then your ISP doesn't need you to clone the MAC address. Putting it in bridged mode basically makes it pass right through so you won't need to access your modem anyways.

Server Update:

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only issue (I seem to have a lot of these =( ) Is that only ONE person can log onto my server at ANY given time. Here is a post of what my logs say:

Now I am not sure what is causing this, but when ONE client tries to log in, it works just fine, but when a second client tries to log in, it keeps repeating this error.

I have all my ports up and running in all my firewalls, I just need to know how to allow more users.



Thanks again to all those that have helped me come this far, and thanks to those that will help me in the future. :)

Say... Huh? I don't understand anything in this post that you just posted. Could you try elaborating a tad... please?

I installed everything in the server folder correctly, so I am not sure why it is not letting me allow more than one person at any given time to log onto my server, and then if they DO succeed in logging in, if they zone it crashes them and then they can't log on.
