My new server is locked

[mistermachone]

Brand new to this. Installed the other day with no issues that I noticed.

Updated config and login as shown in the windows server walkthrough.

My server name shows up on the realm list but it appears as locked. I can create a character, but I cannot go any further.

Searched for a couple of hours and found and added a new line to the config saying "locked" : "false", but that did not fix the issue. Anyone know what I am missing?

{
"server" : {
"chatserver" : {
"host" : "",
"port" : "7778"
},
"database" : {
"db" : "peq",
"host" : "localhost",
"password" : "eqemu",
"port" : "3306",
"username" : "root"
},
"mailserver" : {
"host" : "",
"port" : "7778"
},
"qsdatabase" : {
"db" : "peq",
"host" : "localhost",
"password" : "eqemu",
"port" : "3306",
"username" : "root"
},
"webinterface" : {
"port" : "9081"
},
"world" : {
"http" : {
"enabled" : "true",
"mimefile" : "mime.types",

},

Are zones up?

[mistermachone]

To be honest, I am not sure. I took a grab of the 4 windows that open as part of the program. I did notice one error, which I somehow missed before in the top left.

The bottom right one seems to be the the one that says if the zones are up. You cannot see it from one screenshot, but it is cycling constantly from 1 to 30 out of 30.

[Scorpious2k]

I would say the lack of zones could be the problem. World will show as locked if there are no available zones.

You should check the log files for why they aren't coming up. This is why I don't use the silly zone launcher program, it doesn't show you what is going on in real time.

And yes, the shared memory error is a serious problem and I am guessing it is the reason zones won't come up.

Take a look in your main eqemu server folder. Make sure you have a folder named shared. If not, create it. Also make sure shared_memory is being run before world. (in your startup script). You can also check to make sure shared_memory.exe is working properly, by running it without starting your server.

[zendofarms1984]

having the same issue.

I would remove the "locked" : false line.

I would also try to switch one line from:

"database" : {
"db" : "peq",
"host" : "localhost",
"password" : "eqemu",
"port" : "3306",
"username" : "root"

to:

"database" : {
"db" : "peq",
"host" : "127.0.0.1",
"password" : "eqemu",
"port" : "3306",
"username" : "root"

-I'm using my config as a reference, as it seems to be the only difference in yours from mine, so maybe we get lucky?

cheers,
