Blank server selection screen
 
I originally installed using the minilogin, after much tweaking, DB rebuilding and fiddling I had a user account and was able to create a character, but as soon as I tried to enter the world the client crashed.

I then decided to go with the newer login so downloaded the newest version of EQEmuLoginServer.

After:
3 db rebuilds (cleaning up some of the minilogin, and mistakes)
setting port forwarding, removing port forwarding,
getting a full version of eqemu_config.xml (does not come with either EQEmu-Rev1741-Bots or EQEmu-Rev1741)
rebooting the system
Much more tweaking,
Reading the forums for a couple hours.

I no longer get any errors, but the server selection screen does not contain any servers.

Also I have noticed that it does not matter what username\password I use, as long as there are some characters in the fields the login works.

Anybody have any input or ideas?

Perl issue?
 
so after looking through the logs some more I found this:

Code:
---------------------------------------------

I then uninstalled and reinstalled perl along with the two addins
ppm install DBI
ppm install IO-stringy
still get the same error.

does this error mean anything? or how can I get rid of it?

perl version 5.10.1.1007

I have this issue using the SoF client (no server list). SoD is now my main client and I have no problems. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the new compiles of the EQEmuLoginServer.exe or what. I didn't have this issue with any of the older compiles of the login server.

MM SOD worked, after some DB tweaks, Sof still no luck.

If it doesn't matter what username/password you use, then you are still using Minilogin, not the EQEmuLoginServer. I never use minilogin, so I can't be much help there. Though, if SoD works, your SoF should as well as long as you have it's eqhost.txt set to use port 5998 and not 5999 like SoD+ clients use.
