Trying To make Server

I just noticed that you said you were using SoD install CD. Are you sure? I don't think there is a SoD install CD. The only SoD client that works with the EMU is the one you get from Steam download. There is a SoF CD install and a Titanium install. Those are, for all intents and purposes, the only clients that work with the EMU.

What are you seeing in your log files?

In order for minilogin to work with SoD, I think you need to follow the instructions in this thread:

thankyou for reply I will try this and repost my results. does everything else look like it is working? also another question if you would. When i set up my db stuff i had to type

Insert into account (name, password, status, minilogin_ip) values ("Main", "xxxxx", 250, "127.0.0.1");

where main is my username and xxxxx is my password. after i am able to login when the login screen appears do i use this info to log in?

also how do other creat a login to end up playing after i get it to that point.

Yeah, that is your account info you use to log into it. And to give access to others, you have to make them each manually the same way. If you want others to be able to access your server without having to make accounts for them yourself, it is easiest to set your server up to be on the Official EQEmu Login Server, instead of using Minilogin. Also, Minilogin has other issues and it really isn't great to use unless you are only planning to use it for a few very close friends or for playing by yourself on a LAN. The open source EQEmu Login Server on the SVN is much much better than Minilogin is for Private servers.

I originally was going to use the loginserver one but i searched for a good walkthrough on it and was not lucky if you have a good walk through on how to do that and also what steps i need to follow to get my server to show up on the server list i would be really really greatful. also would i have to start all over in setting everything up. or do i just edit a file?
