Can't Zone In

[dclarkpf]

Hello, I'm setting up a new linux server runing centos 7. I've got everything running. I can see my server on the server selection screen, and I can create a character. When I try to log that character in, nothing happens. And then I get dumped back to the sever selection screen. Normally I would just look at the logs, and then go fix whatever was causing this to happen. But in my opinion the logs look fairly clean. Here's what zone prints out.

I see some quest errors there, but I don't think that is what is dumping me back to the server selection screen. Can anyone point me in in a direction to look, before I start hashing through zone.cpp? Thanks!

Looks like your zone server isn't connecting properly. Try checking your port forwarding settings and if they seem correct, try restarting your server. Sometimes this happens to me and I can't log in to my own server because the ports are locked up for whatever reason.

[dclarkpf]

Thanks! Yeah, that what I would think as well. But, I've got my server on a lan with the pc I'm trying to log in with. Selinux is disabled as is firewalld. Normally I would just configure them, but as I said, this is on a private lan. I'm building it just for my family to play on.

You know, just as a double check I'll try telneting to the ports to make sure I can get to them. Thanks for the help.

I bet it's some kind of configuration issue between the client and the zone. It's like the client just never gets there.

[dclarkpf]

I'm wondering if someone can spot check me.

{
"server" : {
"database" : {
"db" : "eqemu",
"host" : "127.0.0.1",
"password" : "********",
"port" : "3306",
"username" : "eqemu"
},
"qsdatabase" : {
"db" : "eqemu",
"host" : "127.0.0.1",
"password" : "********",
"port" : "3306",
"username" : "eqemu"
},
"world" : {
"http" : {
"enabled" : "false",
"mimefile" : "mime.types",
"port" : "9080"
},
"key" : "somebigassrandomkey",
"loginserver" : {
"account" : "",
"host" : "192.168.1.20",
"password" : "",
"port" : "5998"
},
"longname" : "Rage of Fate",
"shortname" : "RoF",
"tcp" : {
"ip" : "192.168.1.20",
"port" : "9000",
"telnet" : "disable"
}
},
"zones" : {
"defaultstatus" : "10",
"ports" : {
"high" : "7100",
"low" : "7001"
}
}
}
}

Hmm.. I'm launching stuff via..

#!/bin/bash

./shared_memory >davelogs/shared_memory.out 2>davelogs/shared_memory.err
nohup ./loginserver >davelogs/login.out 2>davelogs/login.err &
nohup ./world >davelogs/world.out 2>davelogs/world.err &
nohup ./zone >davelogs/zone.out 2>davelogs/zone.err &

I think that order is correct, but I might be missing something. I know that there is a eqlaunch as well, but I think it's for launching static zones.

Here's a lsof of what's running and on what port. Relevant only to eqmu stuff.

Hmm.. Well thanks for the help!

In your login.ini file:

[options]
unregistered_allowed = TRUE
reject_duplicate_servers = FALSE
trace = TRUE
world_trace = FALSE
dump_packets_in = FALSE
dump_packets_out = FALSE
listen_port = 5998
local_network = 192.168.1. LEAVE LAST DIGIT OUT (but keep the period)
auto_create_accounts = TRUE

Just to note: I had the same issue long time ago on my lan server and that is what fixed it after I read the
solution on these forums. (I run a 3-box lan setup). I just tested it and, same issue. But I guess it's not
guaranteed to be everyone's problem.

[dclarkpf]

Hey The_Beast. That was exactly the problem. I spent a couple days surfing around here trying to figure out exactly what it was, but you nailed it. Thanks a ton. I'm up and running!

Awesome. I've seen several in the past have the same issue, but there is the odd one with a different cause. Usually, if the server
boots up and runs smoothly and the client is a supported one, the issue is either in config files or port forwarding. I can't speak
for others routers, but I have no need to forward ports within my own LAN setup. I only have to do that when allowing outside,
(public) connections.
