At a complete and total loss...problem with Boot5zones.bat

[currygreg]

Ok, I apologize in advance if this has been answered, but I can't find the answer anywhere.

I followed the readme to the letter, my loginserver, db, and boot5zones.bat are set up accordingly. I can log onto my server (Jilm's test) and get past the character creation screen, but I can't log in due to no zones booting up.

This is what world server says:
[Status] loading....etc,
World server listening on: 66.25.124.129 :9000
Connected to LoginServer: eqlogin1.eqemulator.net: 3024

Then I run boot5zones.bat and get "bad command or file name"

Here is my setup:

Windows ME, approx 1 gig ram, 900 mhz processor, roadrunner cable modem


db.ini
[Database]
host=localhost
user=hansolojim
password=my password
database=eq
compression=off

[LoginServer]

worldaddress=66.25.124.129

boot5zones.bat

start zone . 66.25.124.129 7995 66.25.124.129

exit

I have tried replacing my IP with 127.0.0.1 and localhost in varying combinations.

I have no problem connecting to other player's servers, just booting zones. I'm sure it's something stupid. I would appreciate any help you could give.

Thanks!

check your world.exe and zone.exe output to see if they are talking to each other. if they are not try to replace your ip's with localhost, or use the no-ip.org trick you can find under NAT and Eqemu (i think)

if your still having problems pelase post your outputs from the world and 'A' zone.

I changed boot5zones.bat to include my new no-ip address, but still nothing. The world and zone are not talking to each other at all, I think.

My world.exe says
<everything above here is loaded correctly>
TCP listening on: jilm.no-ip.org :9000
world server listening on: jilm.no-ip.org :9000
connected to loginserver: eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997

boot5zones.bat is now

start zone . 66.25.124.129 7995 jilm.no-ip.org

and I still get this: "bad command or file name"


i am extremely confused :(

(And thanks Kgaul for the tip)

make sure you have zone.exe in the same directory that you are running boot5zones.bat from.

[currygreg]

Thanks for the tip, but zone.exe is in the same directory at boot5zones.bat, and still no go.

Any other ideas?

How did you end up with that boot5zones.bat ? I'd say you have a typo in there...


I'd say it's pretty self explantory.. Something in there isnt finding something...
