New Server Active, but need help pls
 

Hi there folks, after 2 years of being down i have now managed to get my server back up :D

The server lists on the server list as 'Little Brown Fish'

It shows as being up, and world, or start5zones etc show no errors

unfortunatly when i actually try to connect to the server (even though i can play on other servers) i cannot connect to my own, any help/advise would be greatly appreciated

Kind regards

renamed the server back to No Place Like Home .... would be interested if anyone else can actually log on to it at this point, as i cant still connect

And in today's news, MGM, producer of the Wizard of Oz movie, has just served this server with a C&D. They claim to have trademarked the phrase "no place like home."

(Disclaimer: That's a joke if you didn't know.)

lol
 

very amusing ranjadown lol, though not overly helpfull :P

Post your loginserver.ini and your boot5zones.bat please.

Also, unless you are severly worried about posting the IPs contained within, please do for the sake of comparison or just PM the contents to me.

Hahahahaha.

Here's my current ini & bat files, plus the output from zone.exe's
 

you asked to view my loginserver.ini and boot5zones.bat so here they are, hope you can work out what i have done wrong...

Loginserver.ini - is as follows :

[LoginServer]
loginserver=newlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver2=newlogin2.eqemulator.net
loginport=5998
loginport2=5998
worldname=No Place Like Home
worldaddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
locked=False
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=200
Unavailzone=

[ChatChannelServer]
ChatChannelServer=localhost
worldshortname=
chataddress=
chatport=

------------end of file-------------
And boot5zones.bat is as follows :

REM: ****Read this first!!!****



REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" when you are connecting

REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver.



REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn



REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx



REM:--------------Start-----------------------

@echo off



if NOT exist spells_us.txt goto NOSPELL



start zoneperl . 82.32.104.xxx 8780 82.32.104.xxx

exit

cls



:NOSPELL

echo You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one. Please do so or zones will crash on startup.

PAUSE

REM:---------------END------------------------

-------- end of file ---------

now world.exe runs with no errors at all

however, the zone.exe's all have the same error.

This is the output from each zone.exe

Hope some one can shed some light

The second IP in boot5zones should be your local IP, not internet IP.

woot it works :D`
 

Thanks to all those who helped!

Unfortunatly i cant play on it lol as its DR2 .... at least i think thats why, so gonna look for a 0.6.1-dr1 db and see if i can figure out how to change it to use a different database /sigh....

now to trawl those a million posts to find that out (got the db) just dont know how to change the server to use it lol
