my minilogin server doesnt show up at serverselect
 

i made a minilogin server and it is all set up and ready for play, but when i go to log in, my server doesnt show up at the server select.

i am using correct configurations i believe..

------------------------------------
[LoginServer]
loginserver=127.0.0.1
loginserver2=127.0.0.1
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=Wulf's Slow
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

-------------------------------------------

[Database]
host=127.0.0.1
user=<MySQL username>
password=<MySQL pass>
database=eq
compression=off

-------------------------------------------

start zone . localhost 7995 localhost
start zone . localhost 7996 localhost
start zone . localhost 7997 localhost
start zone . localhost 7998 localhost
start zone . localhost 7999 localhost
exit
cls

-------------------------------------------

and i have tried everything with both 127.0.0.1 and localhost. anyone able to please throw some ideas my way?

do u have a miniloginaccounts.ini file,and is it filed in correct?
if not just make a file name it miniloginaccounts and add this line


localhost name password

<name and password are ones to log in with not db or anything>

Are you running this server on the same machine you use to play or is it a seperate dedicated machine? If it's a dedicated machine you need to edit your eqhosts.txt file to reflect your server's IP to reach the login.

indeed i do have a miniloginaccounts.ini it is in the eqemu folder.
and yes i am playing on the same computer. i can't seem to figure out why this isnt working. it just doesnt show up on the server select...

is your eqhosts.txt file set as follows:

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

Is the server select blank or do you see other servers there?

indeed it is friend

well kinda stupid question but are you loading all the exe.s? and are they loading without errors do you get message from world.exe saying

World server listening on : port 12007
Connected to LoginServer: localhost:15400

make sure world exe says this meaning its connected and ready
(btw ports are custom dont change unless you have a reason)

i am opening all the exe's but i cannot read what they say because they load and close real fast. i question whether they are supposed to do that or not...

haven the exact same problem has stated

When they load and close real fast, that means (except for winmysqladmin) that they actually quit the program. This is usually the case if you have not put your spells_en.txt file into your folder. If not, make sure you sourced in your DB right.

if they are closing they are erroring out for a reason does any of them remain open?min,world,or bootzone also i had a problem if i tried removing the other text from the boot5zones.dat you only posted a portiong is it all still intact
REM: ****Read this first!!!****

REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "localhost" when you are connecting
REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver.

REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say 127.0.0.1

REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1

REM:--------------Start-----------------------
@echo off

if NOT exist spells_en.txt goto NOSPELL

start zone . localhost 7995 localhost
start zone . localhost 7996 localhost
start zone . localhost 7997 localhost
start zone . localhost 7998 localhost
start zone . localhost 7999 localhost

exit
cls

:NOSPELL
echo You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one. Please do so or zones will crash on startup.
PAUSE

REM:---------------END------------------------


also just as a "what the hell" kinda thing on your LoginServer part where it says worldaddress=127.0.0.1 delete that part thats only differnce in mine is it just says
worldaddress=
with no ip/localhost info

i do have spells_en.txt in my folder but im not sure if it's the correct one. i am using the version of it from after the patcher has been run. i will try the one from before the patch.

minilogin remains open while world closes fast, and boot5 closes as well, as do all of the individual zone windows.

and yes, my .ini's have everything in them that they should. i merely edited what the walkthroughs told me to. i mainly used the telment 4.4 one

D:\EqEmu>world.exe
Using database 'eq' at 127.0.0.1
[Status] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.4-DR1
[Error] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.4-DR1
Loading Variables, zone names & items...
LoadEMuShareMemDLL::Load() failed error=120
Error: Could not load item data


i guess i need an updated version of loademusharememdll eh? where abouts would i get that?

try these files....
 

give these files a try , easy setup just source the .sql file , add account info and go.

Change the files like this, see if it helps:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
loginport=5999
worldname=Wulf's Slow
worldaddress=Your IP here
locked=false
account=
password=

[Database]
host=localhost
user=<MySQL username>
password=<MySQL pass>
database=eq
compression=off

*edit* hehe, just noticed the thread was bumped up after 4 days, did you get it fixed?
