That zone is unavailable
 

Did the Akka's install - I see the server on server select - I get to char select and try to enter Ak'anon but get "that zone is unavailable" error.

I noticed in the perl.exe that zones is constantly cycling from 0/30 to 30/30.

Server status is also locked. I just want to use this server to test some items/stats, so simply being able to login and summon items is all I need.

There could be a few diiferent causes for that, but one of the most common is like the example in this thread (missing column in db) :
