Windows Server Installer :: Modular & Scripted

[Akkadius]

You need to make a server reference under servers

KS=Kuahara Server

Under [kuagm]

Server=KS

Error in GUI XML has nothing to do with MQ2 - changes were made to the client apparently. You can look in your UIerrors.txt file as it says to see what the issue is. You can try setting defaults in OptionsEditor.exe

And once again - let's keep this thread related to the installer please

Using this installer - If something goes wrong with the build, How do I create a new build?

Basis for question. I created a server with bots. When I started the server I got a lot of errors saying my bot files were out of date. Once they were "auto updated" the zones loaded. I could see the server I created in the server list but when I tried to log in all I got was a black screen for about a minute and was kicked back to the EQ start screen. Instead of messing with it I tried to create a server without bots using the same installer but all I get are errors and hang ups. If I completely format my drive - reinstall windows - and restart the server installer, the installer will work and create a new sever file. I know their has to be an easier way to do this besides reinstalling everything to get a clean version of windows running.

Re-installed everything on a clean copy of windows. Without adjusting any settings, but the server name, I still cannot log into the server.

I show no errors. No crash. The server is listed in the server files as open to join.

I've used this installer in the past and it worked flawlessly.

I just downloaded this installer after wiping my drive and have run into this issue. I've tried entering the server from different EQ versions and different computers. Same issue. When entering the server I never get the loading screen - it stays black for about 30 sec then kicks me to the login screen.

I can log into other servers just fine, just not the one I created of this installer.

To be clear: this is a windows install with both the client you are trying to login with and the server running on the same instance?

Windows 7 64bit
Server is running on a separate PC than the one I run EQ on.

Only odd thing I see that didn't happen a few months ago when I ran a server off of this installer is when world.exe runs I see "New zone Server connection from.... at 127.0.0.1:...." about 30 times in a row. I don't recall seeing this in the past. Maybe I didn't pay attention until it didn't work though.

I however, am able to log into the server from the computer the server is running on. I still cannot log into the server from a different computer.

I found the issue.

My Firewall was still blocking "world" in the InBound rules. Once I set it to allow, all worked as it should.

Thank you for responding so fast Akkadius.

Hmmm - the installer adds rules for all ports for windows - application agnostic

I got my first server up and running in no time, simply awesome work. Question, though, where do I go from here? I tried reading through the wiki/forums and can't find where I should start studying on how to edit my database. I did see and watch some videos on EOC but wasn't sure if that should be my go-to for all things DB related?


Some things I'd like to learn how to do:
-Create/modify items, NPCs, spells (I saw these were options in EOC.)
-Disable certain classes (create new if possible?)

I also saw on the front page there will be a new wiki soon? (in the upcoming year I hope?)- awesome news.

Quick question.
I just used this auto-installer for the first time on a new PC, and I completely out of touch with all things I knew about Emu.
How do I change from default DB password?

Thank you!

[phantomghost]

In the xml file it sets your MySQL user/pw automatically.

You would have set this in order to run the installer. Unless you are trying to add a secondary MySQL user ?

[ChaosSlayerZ]

well I guess it already set it to "root" and now I want to change it

[phantomghost]

I have never changed user, but can try this.. copy/paste from google

Instructions

Click the Windows "Start" button and type "cmd" in the search text box. Press*Enter*to open the Windows command line.

Type "mysql" and press*Enter*to start the MySQL command line utility. Using the MySQL command line, you can update the tables on the database.

Type the following SQL code to update the root user:
UPDATE mysql.user SET user='newuser' WHERE User = 'root';
Change*newuser*with the value you want to use in place of*root

Type the following SQL code to change the default user's password:
UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string = password('pass') WHERE User = 'newuser';
Replace*pass*with the new password, and replace*newuser*with the name of the user you set up in the previous step.

[ChaosSlayerZ]

thanks! i will try this

Install HeidiSQL and under one of the menus is "users". Edit there, much easier than running commands from cmd.
