Running 2 emulators on 1 CPU, is it possible?

[techguy84]

Um, is it just me, or is the error in the logs for world connecting to the login server, not to mysql or anything?

If both emulators dont use the same ports, it should work. Mysql can accept multiple incoming connections from the same port to my knowledge.

It would work so long as the other emulator your trying to run using different port numbers than that of eqemu in regards to it connecting to any zone type program and how it accepts connections from clients.

I dunno though... could be wrong

put a 2nd nic in the computer one emulator for each, it in theory should work. it also means two connections to a router.

Thank you for all replies for this issue, well after I deleted roseonline data base from mysql, eqemu seems works fine again. I dont know what is the relation myself tho. Both EQemu and Roseonline emulator i set using port 3306 on mysql database, but of course I used 2 different database inside mysql one for each. I just curious why out of no where my EQemu wont work anymore after I tried to run roseon emu on the same machine.

@techguy84
so basically from your point of view sir, mysql should be able to handle many incoming connection from different emulator program and run them on the same time without causing any conflict with one another as long as I used different port on mysql? most ppl using 3306 port, so I just change the other emu port to 3307? thank you for your input sir.

Pardon for my noob question in regards to mysql, I dont have a good database programming experience.

You cant just change the emu to run on port 3307. When your seting up MySQL under the instance wizard, it ask you what port you want it to be on, which is defaulted to 3306. It will allow multiple connections on port 3306, just like Zone.exe can allow multiple people to be logged into the same zone on port 7000. Mysql normally defaults I think ot a max of 20 connections so you can run 20 "different" emulators that are connecting to 20 different databases. You just can run two of the same emulator. No two EQEmu, No two WOW Emu, ect....

When you run both, what error do you get on EqEmu. Your first post was something about it not connecting ot the loginserver. Not that it wasnt able to connect to Mysql as it shows that it did that fine. Connecting to mysql is like the 3rd step in its boot up. Your errors are like step 22, way down the line.
