Please post results if this works for you so others can be somewhat certain of the fix.

This may sound like a dumb question but how do you actually get into the web interface? I know it's your server addy with the port:9080 but it prompts me for a username and password. I don't ever remember setting a specific login for this access and my database login doesn't seem to work.

This sounds like it could resolve my issue as well (or at least it seems to describe my problem). Can someone (perhaps Speedz) provide more detail on the web interface? Thanks!

The web interface I use were included in the package that the installer from http://forums.nahunta.org/index.php provides.

The problem is it's not current and takes mega tweaking to use the current builds. (I would avoid trying if you are doing something completely different)

Another thing you could try is find a SHA1 tool that will spit out the hash of any entered text and copy paste that into the password field in the database.

Sometime soon I will do a sql dump of all tables involved in my ability to connect to my server. Maybe that will help some (ovbiously I'll remove my info, but I will enter info that will connect if you use them directly).

I have no time atm to do this, sorry. But I will soonish.

MySQL supports sha1 with the sha() function. If you want to change your password in the db you can just use UPDATE table_name SET password = sha('newpassword') WHERE username = 'yourusername';

(replace the fields/table name with the ones for your table).

There are also various websites that will compute a sha1 hash for you.

Tried copy paste of the hash and that didn't work (nice idea though).

I read a suggestion of changing my password to "11111111" and I was FINALLY able to get past the login screen and to the server select screen. Thank you for the suggestion.

When is the screenshots gonna be posted for each of the steps? It appears I didn't get some of the things right, arrgghh, may have to start over.

[Speedz]

I wasn't going to post screen shots, I was going to post a sql dump of the bits in my database that handle logging in and verifying user. But, I realized this really won't be enough.

The guides are a bit old (except this one, tho I found I had issues following it to the letter, not sure why but I will retrace and figure it out) and tho they do point you in the right directions I found that I needed to do ALOT of research to get mine running in offline mode.

I will eventually post a complete current write up of how-to. But it will take me a bit as I do this in my freetime as the devs who provide us with the awsome code.

I will drop all EQEmu related things from one of my computers and reinstall everything and document in true anal fashion so as to not miss out on anything.

With the way I write up guides, if you mess up there is no hope for you :-P.

So, with that said, freetime and the nature of what I will do.....don't expect it too awful soon. But it should get you rolling in the right direction.

Speedz out

I can get the login server to load and let me log in.. the problem I am having is that the world server does not load and it shows I have 0 of 0 expansions.

Might I get some help with this?

[Killeverything]

I am useing ActivePerl-5.8.9.826-MSWin32-x86-290470.msi and peqdatabase-Rev946

[Killeverything]

and build Rev946-Bots.zip

[Killeverything]

I have tried to uninstall perl 5.8 and install 5.10 and I still get a can't find perl58.dll error any help please

[jamromhem]

ok got past that problem... new problem. People connecting from the outside are not able to get past character creation.

The world server shows it is sending them to the zone, but they never get there.
