Quick Question Concerning Startup

[thejoo817]

Hey guys, I recently stumbled upon this guide http://www.mmowned.com/forums/emulat...te-server.html so I figured I would give it a shot. However, I have tried and done everything it suggests doing, however when I connect to the server, I am only able to reach the realmlist screen. When I try to enter a realm, it gets stuck on "Logging in to game server." I am using the router option and have not ran Hamachi yet. Besides that, everything is the same as what is stated.

Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated.

Post your configs in code tags, be easier to pinpoint the problem that way.

 * How to use this config file:                                         

        *
 * Config files are in a block->variable->setting format.               

        *
 * A < signifies the opening of a block, the block name is expected 

after that. * 
 * After the block name, a space and then the settings sperated by = / 

' '.     *
 *                                                                      

        *
 * e.g.

        *
 * Comments can be in C format, e.g. /* some stuff */, with a // at the 

start   *
 * of the line, or in shell format (#).

# LogonDatabase Section
#
#    These directives are the location of the `realms` and `accounts`
#    tables.
#
#    LogonDatabase.Host      - The hostname that the database is located on
#    LogonDatabase.Username  - The username used for the mysql connection
#    LogonDatabase.Password  - The password used for the mysql connection
#    LogonDatabase.Name      - The database name
#    LogonDatabase.Port      - Port that MySQL listens on. Usually 3306.
#    LogonDatabase.Type      - Client to use. 1 = MySQL, 2 = PostgreSQL, 3 = Oracle 10g
#

<LogonDatabase Hostname = "localhost"
               Username = "root"
               Password = "ascent"
               Name     = "logon"
               Port     = "3306"
               Type     = "1">


# Host Directive
#
#    This is the address that the realmlist will listen on.
#    To listen on all addresses, set it to 0.0.0.0
#    Default: 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
#
#    Note: ISHost is the interserver communication listener.
#

<Listen Host = "0.0.0.0"
        ISHost = "0.0.0.0"
        RealmListPort = "3724"
        ServerPort = "8093">

# Server console logging level
#
#    This directive controls how much output the server will
#    display in it's console. Set to 0 for none.
#    0 = Minimum; 1 = Error; 2 = Detail; 3 = Full/Debug
#    Default: 3
#

<LogLevel Screen = "0"
          File = "-1">

# Account Refresh Time
#
#    This controls on which time interval accounts gets 
#    refreshed. (In seconds)
#    Default = 600
#

<Rates AccountRefresh = "600">

# Accepted Build Range Setup
#
#    These two directives set up which clients will be
#    allowed to authenticate with the realm list.
#
#    Set these to the same builds that the server was
#    compiled for.
#
#    As of the last update, version 2.1.1 was build 6739.
#

<Client MinBuild = "1"
        MaxBuild = "9999">

# WorldServer Setup
#
#  RemotePassword
#    This directive controls the password used to authenticate with the worldserver.
#    It must be the same between the two configs. If it is not, your server will
#    not register.
#
#    Default: "change_me_logon"
#
#  AllowedIPs
#    This section MUST be completed, otherwise all attempts to link your servers will fail.
#    These "Allowed" fields are a space-seperated list of CIDR-form IP addresses that are allowed
#    to make server connections to your logonserver, and register realms.
#    For example, everything in the 127.0.0.* range would be:
#         127.0.0.0/24, as 24 of the bits must match the 127.0.0.0
#
#    To allow a single IP,
#         1.3.3.7/32, would allow only 1.3.3.7 to connect as 32 of the bits must match.
#
#  AllowedModIPs
#    In the same form as AllowedIPs, these are the IPs that are allowed to modify the database
#    (adding bans, GMs, account permissions, etc)
#

<LogonServer RemotePassword = "ascent"
             AllowedIPs = "127.0.0.1/32"
             AllowedModIPs = "127.0.0.1/32">

[kreegoth]

Yeah post configs also sometimes people who set up servers with repacks have to press enter like 100 times to actually get to character select screen

[thejoo817]

Those are, I believe, the only two files I touched in the folder, dealing with the realm list and such.

[Shao111]

Change:

<Realm2 Name = "Duh - Local"
        Address = "192.168.1.3:8129"
        Icon = "PVP"
        Population = "1.0"
        TimeZone = "1">

To:

 <Realm2 Name = "Duh - Local"
        Address = "127.0.0.1:8129"
        Icon = "PVP"
        Population = "1.0"
        TimeZone = "1">

Then login on the "Local" realm.

[thejoo817]

Seem to be getting an unterminated block error on the Ascent command prompt.

[kreegoth]

Go to the end of your configs press enter once save and try again..

[thejoo817]

Heh felt like a nub for that one, thank ya Kree.

Shao, I tried running it again, this time only to be stuck on Connected after selecting the local realm. Thinking something isn't allowing it through?

[kreegoth]

Try changing this

<LogonServer RemotePassword = "ascent"
AllowedIPs = "127.0.0.1/32"
AllowedModIPs = "127.0.0.1/32">

to this

<LogonServer RemotePassword = "ascent"
AllowedIPs = "127.0.0.1/24"
AllowedModIPs = "127.0.0.1/24">

[thejoo817]

Still stuck on just connected after selecting the realmlist, sometimes timing out to a disconnect.

/Shrug. I almost feel like that guide isn't worth this trouble. Wouldn't happen to be able to suggest a working guide if possible?

[kreegoth]

To be quite honest with ya easiest way i can think of is to download a AC-web repack comes preinstalled with Mysql and Emulator and a database... Usually if you just install and leave the configs alone itll work for localhost.. Secondly are you trying to make this a Online server , online with hamachi or a localhost server?

[thejoo817]

Was planning on just making a little online server to play with a few friends of mine. Was hoping to work around hamachi if possible.

[kreegoth]

Well best bet is to probably download an AC web repack and configure the Realm.conf to be your Hamachi IP

[thejoo817]

Alright, I'll look into that. Would there happen to be any downloads around on the forums here? Being new and all I haven't had much of a chance to look around yet. Thank ya.
