Private Server
 

I was curious, how do I set up the emulator to run on my computer "like my own server, I remember vipermax saying something about this along time ago" instead of connecting to another sever like gotfrags? :confused:

go into eqhost.txt in the eqemu everquest directory, or wherever you're running eq from for the emu and put this in instead of gotfrags...

[Registration Servers]
{
"127.0.0.1:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"127.0.0.1:5999"
}

that should make it log onto your mysql server, then set the db.ini to point to 127.0.0.1, db.ini should now say:

[Database]
host=127.0.0.1
user=<your mysql UN>
password=<your mysql PW>
database=<your eqemu DB name in mysql, usually eq>

then make your loginserver.ini say:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=<your ip here>
worldname=<the server's server select screen name>
locked=false
account=
password=
worldaddress=

i think i covered everything.. try it out

It just say connection to server failed error 10061.... Any ideas?:confused:

what did you mean by saying?

worldname=<the server's server select screen name>

whatever you want your server to be called, IE: bob's land.
also make sure to grant yourself rights in mysql.

how do I grant my self rights in mysql?

Set your account Status value to 200 (EQEmu Admin is the best way to do this)

Hmm, I am also getting the "Error: 10061" when running World.exe

Anyone have any insites on this? I followed everthing else in this post exactly, and have the account already created ect.

i got that error i think... just right click boot5zones.win9x.bat and edit it, change the ip's that are in there to 127.0.0.1, should fix your problem

I, too, am getting the "Error: 10061" -all of my IP's in Boot5 were already 127.0.0.1

Anyone having any luck in resolving this?

I hope that anyone having the 10061 problem is starting things in this order:
minilogin.exe
worldserver.exe
boot5zones.bat

Sounds like the minilogin wasn't being started before.
