For a long time after I (finally) got my server up and running, I was unable to login to it. What I finally ended up doing was completely rebuilding the database and my two users.
After that it's been working fine.
If you're too lazy to go through all the steps in all those DB walkthroughs, then just do the following:
- Make sure MiniLogin.exe, World.exe, and Zone.exe are NOT running.
- Delete your eq database from MySQL ("DROP DATABASE 'eq';")
- Recreate your eq database ("CREATE DATABASE 'eq';")
- Populate your database with all the necessary info from here (http://www.raskii.net/eqemu/eqemu055.sql.gz)
- Create your eqemu user ("INSERT INTO account (id, name, charname, packencrypt, sharedplat, password, status, lsaccount_id, gmspeed, revoked) VALUES (1, 'eqemu', '', '', 0, 'eqemu', 250, NULL, 0, 0);")
- Start MiniLogin.exe
- Start World.exe
- Start start5zones.bat
- Log into your server
- Play!
