Zone Unavaiblable

Gigfel · #1 01-11-2015, 02:09 PM

First i would like to say hello to everyone because i am new at this Community.
Next i would like to excuse myself for my english because i am german.

I use a Windows 7 64bit Professional as Server and i have a MySQL with developer Tools installed, because i use it with a Apache (not an XAMPP installation).
As Client i have Underfoot and a RoF basis installation of Everquest.

Now to the Problem i have:
I try now around 4 Days to setup a Lokal Network Server with a PEQ Database.
All server starting and running without any errors or debug messages.
The EQLaunch is a blank black screen which should be correct as i understand after reading several threads.
I can log into the Server and create Characters but in the moment i try to enter i always get the Message: "That zone is unavaiblable."

As i understand is the Harddrive Position of the Server not important.
So i did install it to D:\EverQuest\Server without changing the internal structur of the folders.
Then would be the Mimimum you need a ActivePerl, a running MySQL and the pre-compiled EQEmu Servers.
To complete you need to downlaod the PEQ Database, import it into your MySQL (inclusive the required Updates) and get the Maps, Plugins etc with Tortiose.

So i first used the pre-compiled Version 1.1.0 from KimLS out of GitHub at this link:
https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/releases/tag/v1.1.0

I have installed the Components at is has been written in the Howto of VSAB (but did only install the minimum not the complete developing stuff):
http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?Complet...Guide&frm=Main

Finally i got into the Server, could create a Character and got the Message "This zone is unavaiblable" in the moment i hitted the enter button.

Then played back the Backup of my Server and startet again, this time i walked throu the Installation Guide and did install the complete developing stuff.
I compiled a 64 bit Version without any errors, startet it, logged into and in the moment i entered "This zone is unavaiblable".
I did compile several Versions of 32 or 64 bit, with differend Sources of differend Releases and i always get the same Message at the end.

I tryed to start the Zone manually with ". IP Port IP" as Parameters also with the "Shortname of a Area" as Parameter.
Both booting normal as i had found out after a long time reading forum entries.
But the Problem that the Zones are unavaiblable still is there.
Now i ask myself if there is a communication Problem between the zone, world and eqlaunch.

Maybe someone of you guys could help me with this Problem.
P.S. The Executeables have Joker Firewall Rules and could use every port with every Protokoll format for the internal network

I have another Server Software running which needs the Port 9000 too.
After I did change the Port of Zones and Consoles to 9001, as described at following thread, i could log into the Zone.

Hope this helps other Persons with the same Problem

Hello, i have made myself a little work and noticed the Indicators which appear if you have a double allocation of a Port.

1. Loginserver, World, EQLaunch are running (Notize: EQLaunch is normaly a blank black screen).
2. At the Serverlist of the Loginserver your EQServer is show as down.
3. You could login, create Character but not enter the Game.
4. If you try to enter the Game you get the Message: "That zone is unavaiblable."

How you could correct this Error:

1. Open your "eqemu_config.xml".
2. Scroll down to the Entry "<tcp ip='...' port='9000' telnet='...' />".
3. Change the Port into "9001" or someting else.
4. Save the File and restart your EQServer.
