Sorry for the post

I have read all the posts and th wiki and i am having a tough time getting a linux server started. I was able to get a windows minilogin server running but, I was wanting to dedicate an unused server for eqemu. However, I must be doing something wrong because, when I try to login I see my server in the list but, when I select it I get kicked back to the login screen.

Question.

I was able to run 5.0 mysql on windows but, I did see a lot of posts saying you cannot use 4.1 or 5.0. Is that a restriction on only linux?

here is my eqemu_config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>NRW</shortname>
<longname>New Rodcet Nife</longname>

<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account>rodcet</account>
<password>ju1km2</password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>myuser</username>
<password>mypass</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

any help would be much apreciated.

PS.

What you guys have done is amazing

MySQL 5.0 works just fine with Linux. It's Windows that can be tricky. Could you post the output of your binaries?

I grabbed this from th world log:

[Debug] [WORLD__CLIENT] New connection from 192.168.10.28:3033
[Debug] [NET__ERROR] 192.168.10.28:3033: Received OP_SessionRequest in ESTABLISHED state (0)
[Debug] [NET__IDENTIFY] Unable to identify stream from 192.168.10.28:3033 before it closed.
Removing connection.

I also noticed that other people have been successful in connecting to my server and were able to create a character. as the log says here:

And then it looks like when it came time to zone in it kicked them:

Did you have a firewall or some type of NAT device? I bet you do... Did you verify you opened up the TCP ports your zone processes listen on for incoming connections?

[cavedude]

[Debug] [NET__IDENTIFY] Unable to identify stream from 192.168.10.28:3033 before it closed.

That could mean that your client is not compatible, which one do you have?

Cavedude and wildcardx I appreciate your help man I fugured it out the same time you did my default gateway was the server in question and it appears that it was trying to connect to the server before doing the NAT I changed my gateway to another server and it connected no problems. sorry for buggin you guys i know it must get annoying.
