Ok, I've been very hesitant to post because I thought I could find the solution out there on the forum some place but after exhausting all solutions I could find, I'm posting finally.
I've followed the Big server setup post by Malignus Wingnut from
http://eqemulator.net/forums/viewtop...75744e3a209580
but that did not work very well but it helped me learn how to get around perl and MySQL and how to create and source in things. Thanks for the lesson on that.
After learning that, I followed the simple instructions from Chrysm on page 6 of the same thread. This got me further at least.
Currently I'm having 2 problems from what I can see.
First, I can't connect to my own server, I keep getting 1017 errors.
-I have the latest updated client (I still play EQ).
-There is no version conflict in the DB, fresh barebone DB following the 3 step process from
http://www.eqemulator.net/databases_v6.php
-I am behind a Buffalo router, I have tried 2 things, putting server in the DMZ, and also forwarding ports to the static IP of the server (5994, 9000, 7990-8000) all UDP. Neither has fixed my inability to get on the server.
-I have recreated the DB and resourced it about 4 times so far and have gotten to be an expert in it.
-With my client, I can get on several servers, GuildWars, where I spoke to the creater who was busy making things, and Evolution to name a couple.
-I have gotten the latest stuff from the CVS resources.
-Initially I had tried the PEQ DB, then the barebones one (if there is a diff).
Second Problem:
-I have seen someone else try to get in and get as far as char creation and then get the code erro and get dropped.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Please try to be plain in your explanation, don't assume everyone on the board knows all the EQEmu lingo. :o
My server can be seen on the server list as
Straylight. It is usually going up and down when I'm working on it. If not, then it's not on. So if you wan to log in to get a better idea, feel free.
Below are my World and Boot file outputs.
