Multiple PCs Running Zone Servers

[trevius]

Well, I am learning something new with every post you make, LOL!

Ya, I am using the batch file setup from the wiki server setup guide:

@echo off
start world.exe
cls
echo Wait for World to finish loading... Press Enter when done.
pause
start eqlaunch.exe zone
exit

So, if I am reading what you are saying correctly, I can setup the Main server PC batch as:

@echo off
start world.exe
cls
echo Wait for World to finish loading... Press Enter when done.
pause
start eqlaunch.exe zonew
exit

And then I am guessing I need to run eqlaunch.exe from the zone server? I was runnin zone.exe, so that was probably part of my problem lol. I am pretty sure I don't want to load world.exe on my zone server unless I was running it as my test secondary server. So, I imagine the batch file to start the zone server should look like:

start eqlaunch.exe zonez
exit

And thanks for the info on the login account. I did not set a password in it. I know it is blank by default since only the login server actually sees the passwords. I tried even using blank for the password, but that didn't work. I guess it requires some kinda password to be set for it to work.

So, if I set a password in the database for my admin account with status 250, will it still let me log in through the login server? I would think it should as long as the passwords both match. Otherwise, I could just create a new account with status 250 just for the web interface access.

Thanks again for all of your help on this Aramid! By the time I get this all setup I will have plenty of new knowledge and understanding of how this all works. I can't believe I never looked into setting up the templates to work. They seem like a really cool feature!
