Help with Server Creation?
 

I did everything it said, and everything pretty much worked. However, when I went to the prompt and typed source db.sql, the first 10 or so lines were fine, then it started scrolling errors about not being able to open two different files. When I first tried it, it worked fine, I think. Also, it shows my server on the screen, but it remains locked. When source db.sql worked, I still remember it being locked. Any suggestions?

What is going wrong is that you have a previously made database that is being duplicated by the new one. To fix this go in to "C:/mysql/data/eq" and then delete everything in there and then update your database. Also, the reason why your server is locked is if your zone files aren't up. Or if they are, they are wrong. Try using "127.0.0.1" or "localhost" on a MiniLogin account or the server's IP adress if you are logging onto someone else's server. Remember to boot up "boot5zones.bat" or your server will remain locked.

Hope This Helps!!!

Thanks a lot, that helped. My source db.sql problem is fixed and there are absolutely no errors now. However, my server remains locked. You mentioned something about the zone files -- if this is my problem, how do I fix it?

Wait, I see another problem, too ...
 

After running boot5zones.bat, the 5th window that states `entering sleep mode` also says every minute or so as follows;

WorldServer connect: Connecting to the server failed. Error: 10061.

So, this would imply that there is another error after all, hehe.

I don't know man... What I always do is I reinstall the EQEmu and then it works. Sorry for lack of info... Post your fix if you get it working!

Could you explain a minilogin thing? I've seen it mentioned, but first of all, I don't get how it differs from doing it regularly, and the readme doesn't explain how to set it up good enough.

Are you:

a. Logging onto someone else's server
b. Hosting a local server
c. Just hosting a server on your computer that is meant for 1 player?

Hosting a local server. Yep, I know that much, wee.

So you are planning on having up to 8 people... list your system specs and if you have AIM, list your AIM name here so we can chat in a better way.

Haha, AIM Spectral Method, at the moment. :P I'm on now.

This thread is closed as of now.

if your running this server on NAT (behind firewall with a non routable address, you can tell by your ip # .. if your ip is 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) if so check out win 32 support i have made a post for ppl with nat
