problems connecting to login server. Connection Refused

[Gangrif]

Given this output after runing 'world'

Using database 'eqemu' at localhost
[Status] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.4
[Error] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.4

TCP listening on: port 9000
World server listening on: port 9000
Error: LoginServer::Connect: 'TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error: Connection refused'

Can anyone tell me why my connection is being refused?
I think it has something to do with this line:

[Status] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.4
[Error] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.4

Its like its not connecting to the right version login server maybe?
Here's my LoginServer.ini which ive pieced together from different info ive found in the forms and various readme's.

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemu.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemu.net
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=undrground
locked=false
account=
password=
worldaddress=(my live IP address)

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=0
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

I've seen people hint that the "5999" port is associated to EQEMu 0.5.0, and I am running 0.4.4. If this is the case, what should that be changed to?

I'm not sure what tutorial you're following, but it is REALLY outdated.

First of all, run 0.5.0. You don't have the dec 2002 client, I assume. 0.4.4 is sooo 2002.

Second of all, this is just a debug message that can be ignored:

[Error] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.4

Third of all, you're using a login server that doesn't exist:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemu.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemu.net

Fourth of all, this is wrong:

I've seen people hint that the "5999" port is associated to EQEMu 0.5.0, and I am running 0.4.4.

5999 = 0.4.4
5997 = 0.5.0

When i decided on the 0.4.4 release it was because i thought (again, read from the formum's, maybe outdated?) that 0.5.0 was still too buggy for use.

So in other words, i should start over with 0.5.0?

5.0 is realy buggy, there still working on it, best bet is to wait for 5.0 to become more stable then run a server.

[Gangrif]

But what if i'm impatient and want to run a server now?

then you need to STFU and wait


compile and run a 5.0 server then, rember tho zoning dont work, levelsing dont work, spells dont work, items dont work, spawns are uggy. ect ect ect

[Merth]

There's a big piece being overlooked here: 0.4.4 requires a client version that you don't have. Go ahead and try 0.4.4 until you're blue in the face, and when you've tired of the activity - come read the FAQ section.

[Gangrif]

I realize that (now), thats why i spend the last 2 hours researching a switch to 0.5.0.






You guys probably think i'm such a noob..

Regardless, thanks for the info, even though some of it seemed riddled with sarcasm.
