Trying to set up server

[Jster22]

Thanks for the replies Mirakus and orkim.

In my login_util>linux there are the folders fedora-12-64, gentoo32, and ubuntu-9-10-32. I chose ubuntu. I moved the files into EQEmuLoginServer and ran make. I believe it built ok this time.

gcc -o EQEmuLoginServer Client.o ClientManager.o Config.o DatabaseMySQL.o ErrorLog.o Main.o ServerManager.o WorldServer.o .obj/BasePacket.o .obj/Condition.o .obj/CRC16.o .obj/crc32.o .obj/debug.o .obj/emu_opcodes.o .obj/EmuTCPConnection.o .obj/EmuTCPServer.o .obj/EQPacket.o .obj/EQStream.o .obj/EQStreamFactory.o .obj/logsys.o .obj/logsys_eqemu.o .obj/misc.o .obj/MiscFunctions.o .obj/Mutex.o .obj/opcodemgr.o .obj/packet_dump.o .obj/packet_functions.o .obj/rdtsc.o .obj/TCPConnection.o .obj/TCPServer.o .obj/timeoutmgr.o .obj/timer.o .obj/unix.o -Wall -Wuninitialized -Wwrite-strings -Wcast-qual -Wno-deprecated -Wcomment -Wcast-align -O -g -march=i686 -pthread -pipe -DEQLAUNCH -DEQDEBUG=5 -I/usr/include/mysql -DBIG_JOINS=1 -fPIC -rdynamic -L. -lstdc++ -ldl -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lEQEmuAuthCrypto -lcryptopp

Reading the eqemu_config.xml configuration guide, it says the file should be located in world/eqlaunch/zone. However, I found my file in projecteqemu/utils/defaults. Is this ok?

My goal is to open this server up for my friends to log on to. They live in different cities so I wont be connecting using LAN. Is there an easy way to find your WAN ip? I just went to whatismyip.com and put that value in for both <address> and <localaddress>. Or does localaddress need to be 127.0.0.1? Following the guide, this is my eqemu_config.xml file currently

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
        <world>
                <shortname>setme</shortname>
                <longname>I Forgot To Edit My Config</longname>
                <address>(whatismyip.com)</address>
                <localaddress>(whatismyip.com)</localaddress>
                <key>some long random string</key>
        </world>
        <database>
                <host>localhost</host>
                <port>3306</port>
                <username>eq</username>
                <password>eq</password>
                <db>eq</db>
        </database>
</server>

I don't have a database set up yet. I am having problems installing mysql. I install it using the command "apt-get install mysql-server" but when I type "mysql -u root" to set up the root account, I get this error "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)". How do I completely remove mysql-server and start again? Or is there another way to fix this?

I will work on login.ini after I have eqemu_config.xml configured and mysql working.

Thanks again for your help. I am looking forward to getting this running!
