server LOCKED status

Samsung090 · #1 12-17-2005, 04:01 AM

On my server login screen it shows the server status of "locked". It still allows me to log into it and create a char. but when I try entering the game (as a human paladin) it says "entering The Mines of Glooming Deep". It takes about 3 min and then says "Server Not Responding".

The minilogin reports the following error message:

[Status] found starting location is start_zones
current location: freportw 72.00, -812.00, 052.22
bind location: freportw 72.00, -812.00, 052.22
character creation succssful: paladius
attempting autobootup of freportw (9) for paladius
error: no zoneserver to bootup freportw (9) for paladius
client disconnected
removing client from ip: 127.0.0.1 port:1329

Can anyone offer suggestions?
Thanks!

FYI....loginserver.ini has the line Locked=false

If you are behind a router, make sure you forward ports to the correct computer. Also, in boot5zones.bat, make sure your internal IP (the one on the right) is set correctly. I just had this problem as well.

You have no zoneservers booted up. Your server will stay locked and you will be unable to enter world until you get at least one zoneserver up and running.

Ranger, just to clarify, he may have zone servers booted, however, those aren't connecting to the right IP. That's why I explained what I did above

Oh, yeah that's true, and most likely his problem.

Ok, thanks for trying to help guys. I'm still a tad stuck, but at least i know more now.
Here's where I am (trying to run both server and client on same machine):

I start minilogin.
I start the world server.
Everything seems good to this point.
I start boot5zones.bat. They all seem to run through and load loot tables etc. And then all 5 windows close themselves. World and minilogin stay up.
(I can log into my server and create a character but obviously I can't get into the game because I have no zones loaded.)

My boot5zones file looks like this:

[boot5zones.bat]
start zone . [my ip from ipconfig] 7995 127.0.0.1
start zone . [my ip from ipconfig] 7996 127.0.0.1
start zone . [my ip from ipconfig] 7997 127.0.0.1
start zone . [my ip from ipconfig] 7998 127.0.0.1
start zone . [my ip from ipconfig] 7999 127.0.0.1

My loginserver.ini, db.ini and eqhost.txt all use 127.0.0.1
Do I need to add port switches to my boot5zones file?

Any suggesstions?
Thank you!

I also tried these:

[boot5zones.bat]
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7995 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7996 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7997 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7998 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7999 127.0.0.1

[boot5zones.bat]
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

[boot5zones.bat]
start zone . localhost 7995 127.0.0.1
start zone . localhost 7996 127.0.0.1
start zone . localhost 7997 127.0.0.1
start zone . localhost 7998 127.0.0.1
start zone . localhost 7999 127.0.0.1

I checked to make sure that 127.0.0.1 localhost was in my lmhosts file.

One last detail.
I have DSL and am also using an 8 port linksys hub for a personal network.
ipconfig gives me the IP address my system has locally, while I have so far avoided using my external IP address for anything at all. Could there be some sort of conflict?
I have even tried unplugging my NIC connection and then starting the EMU server.
I appreciate any advice you can give. I'm trying to get this thing running before my Christmas vacation from work starts!!!

Try opening a Command Prompt window or 5, and starting a copy of zone (or perlzone) in each. That way you'll see what output there was just prior to the shutdown.

OK, that's something I haven't tried yet.
I tried manually starting the zones using a DOS window. They still closed.

So, I changed my 'start zone' to 'start zoneperl' in the 5zone.bat file.
This kept the windows opened and displayed the following to me (in all 5 windows): "127.0.0.1:9000:TCP connection::RECVDATA():Error: 10054"

And then each window displayed "sleeping"

Tried starting the game, locks trying to connect to the server status screen.
