Blank server screen

Hey All,

I am trying to setup a local server, and this is my fourth and final round of trying to do it. This time around I am using the documentation concerning compiling the project. Of course that documentation doesn't deal with database setup, so I am also having to use a mixture of about 3-4 other guides I think.

Here is where I am currently at:

- World.exe is launching successfully
- EQEmuLoginServer is registering successful login of the world server.
- EQEmuLoginServer is registering successful communication with my local client

From the client I can log in, but it seems that "any" login is accepted regardless of it being valid or not. All login attempts are transferred to the server page where it is blank and displays 0 expansions.

My assumption is that there is a communication problem between the client and the login server, but the feedback from the login server suggests its communicating. Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing if it is correctly communicating. Here is the response from the EQEmuLoginServer:

ServerManager listening on port 5998

eqhost.txt

Already set:

I tried disabling the unregistered_allowed flag in the login.ini file, but all users are still allowed in so I am not exactly sure what else I can check.

Hit 'Go Advanced' on your next reply and post your config files. Make sure you highlight each one and then click on the '#' sign above to code tag it.

(Make sure to '****' usernames and passwords if you're concerned about that.)

EDIT: Unregistered is for the login server. It allows the use of 'unregistered' world servers.

eqemu_config.xml:

Code:

                        <password>eq</password>

I'm not sure if your use of 'eq' is the actual value or blanked value, but if they are actual:

When you created your database, did you name it 'eq' or 'peq'? (or something else?)

Double-check your database name and make sure the login and emulator entries match it.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure that you don't need eqemulogin.ini for the login server.

eq is the actual database name.

Originally I tried using the setup instructions that used peq, and peqlogin. However, due to numerous other issues I decided to consolidate them into one DB named eq.

eq contains the eq database tables, and the EQemuLoginServer tables. Therefore any successful connection to the database has access to all of the tables. So I am assuming that the fact that the world server logs in successfully when unregistered_allowed = false means that its accessing the login tables and successfully validating the long and short names.

That would imply that all other tables are also accessible and able to be used. Both login and eqemu_config.xml match. I also tried changing the ports on everything to some random port, and the results where the same.

-- deleted eqemulogin.ini and nothing complained so you are correct.

Is the assumption that if everything is setup correctly that an invalid user login to the EQEmuLoginServer will get an error indicating the login failed?

If so, why is that currently not occurring? I would assume that if my EQEmuLoginServer is reporting the communication with the client it would be able to reject a bad user/login.

Any one able to help?

I am completely at a loss as to what steps I can take to troubleshoot this further since I have no indication of negative feedback or error results from any of the applications.

- Zone is communicating with World
- World is communicating with MySql
- World is communicating with EQEmuLoginServer
- EQEmuLoginServer is communicating with MySql
- Client is communicating with EQEmuLoginServer

The problem appears to be in the communication from the EQEmuLoginServer to the client. I have no idea why the client would be allowed to login with an invalid user/pass under that situation but that is what appears to be happening.

the only problem i can recall is eqemu_config.xml: try changing <longname>eq</longname> to <longname>eqminilogin</longname>

Now that you mention it, I think I had a similar problem one time with the <longname> naming convention that caused the same problem way back when.

I'll take a quick look at the login server code and see if there are any discriminators in it that might not allow 'eq' as a valid server name.

Attempted the eqminilogin change, but that had no positive effects. There is a configuration in the variable table for minilogin but since I am using the EQEmuLoginServer I have not changed its value.

Assuming that there is some problem with the naming convention I used I changed the database entries and config to:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0">

<server>

        <world>

                <shortname>EQHome</shortname>

                <longname>Personal Home</longname>

        

                <loginserver>

                        <host>localhost</host>

                        <port>5998</port>

                        <account>EQHome</account>

                        <password>everquest</password>

                </loginserver>

        

        

        </world>



    <database>

        <host>localhost</host>

        <port>3306</port>

        <username>***</username>

        <password>*****</password>

        <db>eq</db>

    </database>



</server>

Same basic symptoms. World server appears to march along fine, and the zone server is doing fine. EQEmuLoginServer is successfully receiving communication from world, and the client. However, any login will get me to the server screen, but no servers to select from.

NOTE: I also did a fresh reinstall of Titanium to rule out any installation problems with the client. Re-configured the link for "patchme" and changed the EQHost file.

i see it now your login.ini file needs to be something like this

[database]
host = localhost
port = 3306
db = peqlogindb <----- on yours this need to be changed to match this
user = root
password = xxxxxxxxxxx
subsystem = MySQL

i can see another error in eqemu_config.xml file

example
<loginserver>
<host>127.0.0.1</host><---------- you need to take out loclhost and put 127.0.0.1
<port>5998</port>
<account>xxxxxxxxxxx</account>
<password>xxxxxxxxxx</password>
</loginserver>

if you are still having problem might take a look at this http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=35057

Hey noport,

As I indicated before I placed both the login tables and the main EQ tables in the same database named eq. Therefore all configurations should be accessing just the eq database.

I cannot see a reason that this wouldnt work?

EDIT: Also wouldnt the world server fail to login if the EQEmuLoginServer couldnt connect to the database with the right tables? Seems like that portion is functioning to me unless there is some reason they cannot be stored in the same location.

refresh the screeen see the last message i left? in the database did you change it from public to minilogin?
