Minilogin to public server? (i'll settle for the minilogin source code)

[Sakrateri]

It sounds like dyndns is like NOIP which can be checked out at NOIP LINK . I have never had used either of them myself but its a way to get a static IP if you have a dynamic one. You can still let people in with dynamic IPs but its a pain having to keep changing them. I am not sure if you can come up with some kind of script as it is you have to reboot your server whenever you add a new IP or change an existing one before the change takes effect.

I'm still not sure what the fuss is all about. Put up a public server, lock it, and add user accounts who wish to play on your server using a specific status level. If you are capable of writing a new minilogin server completely, you are capable of editing the minimum status allowed into a locked server.

I too was boggled by the fact I *had* to use eqemulator.net as a login server publicly (outside my LAN), but have since learned why and accept that. I guess I just don't need to be hidden or that private.

Sakrateri;
Is your EqEmu server Linux or Windows?

Here's the solution to this problem temporarily.

Dowload the zip file with peq_updater.php and eqhost.txt file, install them on a webserver.
Modify the variables in the php file to your MySQL server information.
Read the info in the header of the php document to learn how this works.

I will not be providing support for this utility, but feel free to post bugs and whatnot here for as long as the moderators wish to allow it. You should already have PHP/MySQL installed if you are using the PEQ Editor on your system.

Download Zip File
Download RAR File

edit: added rar file for people who prefer it.

Thanks Aerewen, very nice - I'll be testing it and tell you how it went. My big interest was to have something fairly secure, and is why I asked what OS Sakrateri was running under. It's a lot easier to do something secure under Linux.
BtW Sakrateri, I tested and you don't have to reboot server ; I logged one of my accounts, then switched to another Via Database by changing IP's and it worked fine.

Hmm, that is very clever!

[Angelox]

I put it all in, but all I get is a blank page for peq_updater.php.

[Aerewen]

version of php, mysql, and apache please

and ill check the code for compatibility

[Aerewen]

haha nvm found the problem... i forgot to put an = sign in the servername line

u should be gtg now i tested it again and it works fine. :P

just make sure to update the server information in both the peq_updater.php and eqhost.txt files and place them in the same directory.

edit: the rar and zip's have been re-uploaded with the new version

PHP = 5.0.4
MySQL = 5.0.24a
Apache = 2.0.54


EDIT:
I just saw your last post - thanks

[Angelox]

Damn! very, very cool - my hat's off to you!
Here's some extra pointers for anyone else who wants to try this;
make a separate directory for this php and rename it "index.php" that's because inside the php, it refers to "index.php" all the time. or you have to rename all the references to index.php to what the file name currently is (peq_updater.php).
If you want more security, you can make a new MySql account for this php and only give priv to the account table of your database.

Really works great! If you can get this running, you need look no more, if this is what you want.

Thanks!

FYI:
I tested it for fun just to see if it works and it only updates ip address's of existing accounts it dont add them like it says.
other than that it works great.

Hmm, likewise, just the other day - my first time trying it (I don't use it, just wanted to see what it did) and it did add a record to my account table. Sure you didn't add an account that was already there? j/k
