Server Registration help

[vintage51]

Help! I am trying to register a new server but every time I get "Login Account: Could not verify Login Account information.". I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I am logged into the website, so I know that my user name and password work. So please help me. Thanks

Forum name/password are not what you use for server login account information. Go to the Portal (index page here) and register a player account and server account per the player and server admin guide instructions.

Hello John, that was fast. I will give that another try. Thanks

[John Adams]

You're welcome. I happen to be here filling Lethal's life with wonderous tales of misfortune =)

I am the unluckiest admin ever, i swear.

Can you answer me one more question. When I run the EQ2world.exe and it states connectToUpdateServer I get a error 10061. Do you know what this means. I can't find anything on the forum. Thanks again

You should probably post your LoginServer.ini, but take out your account/password info so we can see how you're configured.

John here it is.

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Change the account and password fields to the information you used when you created your SERVER account.

### --- NOTE: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

[UpdateServer]
updateserveraddress=eq2emulator.net

[LoginConfig]

Well, a few things.

Code: Select all

worldaddress=127.0.0.1

worldaddress should be your public IP or DynDNS address (like myserver.no-ip.org). Otherwise, LoginServer doesn't know where to send players to. But that's not your update problem.

That's:

Code: Select all

[UpdateServer]
updateserveraddress=eq2emulator.net
updateserverport=9101

This is so 2008 Things have changed, and if the documentation isn't up to date, let me know. It needs to be... Set this info to:

Code: Select all

[UpdateServer]
updateserveraddress=updates.eq2emulator.net
updateserverport=9103

That's why your world cannot find the update server.

John, That is what is in the Windows Binary 0.6.5. Thanks for your help

[John Adams]

Right, but like every other release of software, the most current information is usually not packaged with it

Our forums, wiki, and guides should have all the current data. I'll see if I can't get someone to double-check them, make sure they are accurate. Hope you are up and running.
