[Antrix] Can't create characters

[orphanboy]

First off, I'm really impressed by this community

Lots of interest and talent flowing through here

Anyway, I've just finished setting up Antrix according to the tutorial (posted by Karnage)

At first, I was getting stuck at the "connected" screen, but after browsing here for a while, I finally fixed that issue

However, now I can't create any new characters

I created a GM char straight on the database using SQLyog, and that was fine for me to login with, it won't let me create any new characters

After I try to make one, it says "Created" and then goes back to the character selection menu, which is always empty

Keeping an eye on the SQLyog, I can tell that the "characters" table is always empty

However, I think the name may be being stored somewhere, because it won't let me use the same name twice, unless I shutdown the server

Please help :flag_schw

erm ... so ya got yer account up and running now ya just need to create chars ... i havent experienced this problem before but it sounds like there may be an issue with the way the characters table is set up ... im not as clued in as others are infatc im sure im way off .... anyone else have any theories on this issue?

[orphanboy]

Thanks for trying anyway :P

Has anyone else had this problem before?

Do you have two Antrix databases on your server?
If this is the case, i think you're have to control you're .conf files

[orphanboy]

nope, just one antrix database, called "antrix"

[orphanboy]

As you can see on the screen shot, it recognizes my command to create a character, and initializes that query...but then it magically disappears :(

I've seen that you use another pc to connect to the server.
Change the two ip's in realms.conf into the ip of you're server.
In the picture above is it stated as 127.0.0.1 so change that and let me know.

[Vitamin Carrot]

so everything is fine on server end otherwise it wouldnt have gotten that far ... is the character table actually in the database?

[orphanboy]

Actually, I'm using just one computer to host and play. My realm.cfg is like this:

#######################################################################
# Realms Configuration File
# Last updated at revision 1259
#######################################################################
# Logon Server Setup
#
# Logon servers are the old "realmlist" or "auth" servers.
# At the moment, you can only set up one. This will be changed in the
# future.
#
# LogonServerCount       = Number of servers
# LogonServer[x].Address = The address (no port) of the server.
# LogonServer[x].Port    = The port on which the logon server listens.
# LogonServer[x].Name    = Not really relavant, but name the logon.
#
LogonServerCount     = 1
LogonServer1.Address = "127.0.0.1"
LogonServer1.Port    = 8093
LogonServer1.Name    = "Jopok"
# Realm Setup
#
# This is the realms that will be added to the list for this instance
# of the server. You can have multiple realms (e.g. one for LAN, WAN).
#
# RealmCount          = The number of servers.
# Realm[x].Name       = The name of the realm.
# Realm[x].Address    = The address (and port) of that realm.
# Realm[x].Icon       = The type of realm (PVP, Normal, RPPVP, RP)
# Realm[x].Colour     = Realm colour in realm list display.
# Realm[x].TimeZone   = Time zone the realm is in.
# Realm[x].Population = (0 = low, 1 = medium, 2 = high)
#
RealmCount           = 1
Realm1.Name          = "Extreme Fun"
Realm1.Address       = "24.85.206.157:8129"
Realm1.Icon          = "PVP"
Realm1.Colour        = 1
Realm1.Population    = 1.0
Realm1.TimeZone      = 1
LogonServer.RemotePassword = xxxxx

And yeah, I have SQLyog open, so I can see all the tables, and they're there. The character table is there too.

Realm1.Address = "24.85.206.157:8129"
==>
Realm1.Address = "127.0.0.1:8129"

im no expert but im sure that if he can get to the character creation screen then there isnt anything wrong with the realms.conf file...

I could be wrong and then we would need the heavy guns like attila888 or one of the moderators to sort this one out...

[orphanboy]

I'm re-creating my database, so I'll try again in a sec,

But yeah, I'm able to connect and get to the character menu. I'm even able to at least go through the motion of setting up a character, too. It's just that when I click "create" it should go back to the character selection menu and show my new character on the right, but it doesn't. My character table is still empty.

[Vitamin Carrot]

it could be an issue with the wow client aswell ...................... dont quote me on that as yet again with this problem im still not sure .... everything up to date patch wise? tbc enabled on server? account tbc enabled? going through the motions of troubleshooting is fun

[orphanboy]

Yup.

I tried playing on other servers running Antrix and everything's fine on there.

I have no idea what's going on now.

[Vitamin Carrot]

this problem interests me and i wish i knew enough to help but it seems that the answer to this one is going to teach me a thing or two as well. I look forward to a solution for future reference.

EDIT: could you post your antrix.conf and logonserver.conf aswell?

the only other thing that ppl think it could be is the core and then i would suggest that you try a newer or older core. like rev 424 or something

[Vitamin Carrot]

hmmm was this solved in the end?

[whirlwind1979]

I got this problem asweel the first time i was able to login but every time i made a new character it wont show up in the list.

I think is a simple db user privileges issue, so you can access to the database but you can't write on it, so i fixed this changing the database username and server to 'root' (i'm lazy so i ended up like this, but is the same if you check if the user you chose for access the db have the correct privileges for work on it ).

Hope this will help you :)

[zhangweizheng3]

I had the same problem, all u need to do is get the "terranet 5 ready to use" database

[zlaya07]
