Server locked.
 

I did some looking on the boards and I saw some information on what may be my problem, however, it was for an older version of mysql. It sounded like my zones are booting. I tried setting up my server according to the latest guide "Setting up EQEmu-0.7.0-845 Minilogin with MySQL 5.0.24".

I try logging in from a client machine on my lan and my server appears in the server select screen however it is locked. I checked the Locked=False and it is indeed, false.

Also, I Keep getting this message in world.exe cmd window. The message repeats itself and the number increments each time.

[Debug] [WORLD_LAUNCH] zones: dynamic_01 reported state STARTED (1 starts)

followed by

[Debug] [WORLD_LAUNCH] zones: dynamic_01 reported state STOPPED (1 starts)

and then once in a blue moon

Any help would be appreciated. I did try to dig through the forums for some information, but as stated earlier, I couldn't find much :(

If you are just starting out, you should better install MySql 4 - go to Sesmars site and download/use the CaveDude installer - life will go much easier for you :)

theres also this in eqemu_config.xml.. right underneath </loginserver>...
just remove the <!-- --> on each side to ensure your server is locked or unlocked... BUT this also might not matter cause i think default is unlocked anyways... but just some more infos :)

EDIT: World will say LOCKED if you dont have your zones booted up.. but it still is unlocked.

Sorry Neoburn, Sesmars is at
http://eqemu.sesmar.net/

Go to your logs folder under your emu, and review the eqemu_debug_world.log file. I think it says more of what's going on than the cmd window.
