Hey.. think I'm making progress.
All intent and purposes, it looks like the server started up and is running.
I log into host=eqemulator.net and my server shows up on the server menu with all the other servers. ( that is fricken awsome )
I did get this error when the server started up though which I'm not sure about unless it is normal:
Code:
[Debug] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_3136.log
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Loading server configuration..
[Debug] [NET__WORLD] WorldConnection connect: Connecting to the server localhost
:9000 failed: TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error: 10061
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__ERROR] worldserver.Connect() FAILED! Will retry.
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Starting main loop...
[Debug] [NET__WORLD] Connected to World: localhost:9000
The next thing which is the first problem is when I click on my server on the menu I get this error in my "world.exe" window and can't connect:
Code:
[Debug] [WORLD__CLIENT] New connection from 192.168.0.180:61273
[Debug] [NET__IDENTIFY] Unable to identify stream from 192.168.0.180:61273, no m
atch found.
I take it is trying to match up my local ip (which is what I entered into the database when I made the account entry) with the "actual" ip address it is seeing and can't match up the account to the IP. I will try to put my "actual" ip in and see if that works unless it is something els not allowing me to log in.
Which brings me to my first question at this point...
What allows people to go through the eqemulator.net login server and log on to what ever server without an entry in that servers DB? is there something in one of the files (.ini , .conf , .xml ) that allows people to do so or that allow the server to see them enter and then automatically add them to the database?
I obviously don't have this part salved yet....
Thanks for the assistance up to this point, it has helped a lot.
It also helps to post because it allows me to think things through.. let those that might assist know were I'm at up to that point .. and keeps me from blankly looking at the screen scratching my head hehehe...
(EDIT UPDATE)
Nope.. updated the IP in the loginDB under the accounts for my login and still get the exact same error message so it's something else.
Could it be I have use the loginDB entry in the .ini or .xml file in my main server directory instead of the entry for the main DB?
Going to take a break from this for about an hour... so not to get to tired then will see if there is any new news on what I maybe doing wrong, check the forums for possible solutions and try a couple of other things.
