Unable to Connect - Post about it here.

This thread is reserved for those of you server owners whom are getting the "Unable to Connect" error message with your server. This should hopfully weed out the everyday trash posts of "Unable to Connects" made in the main forum section. It would also make a good refference thread for those of you whom are currently getting the error, so you may check back on previous posts in this thread.

If you are not running a server and still get the error, please contact the servers forums about the issue and not this one. This thread is centralized for server owners. and not everyday private server clients. Remember this forum is here to help server owners, and progress development.

Easyyy PT PvP server!

Great, now you can help others.

I am unable to connect to server but when I enter nothing in username I get Wrong Account Again when I enter the id I created it loads for awhile then conn. failed

try finding SQL.DLL, and either editing it or removing it, that worked for me!

wat did u do edit it or remove it and did u have the same problem as me? and if u did edit wat did u edit

Removing the SQL.dll if you don't know what your doing makes setting up much easier, but a bit more unstable and suspectable to crashes.

i got a noob question how to make work this sql.ddl?do i need other editing in sql for server? i just know about how to edit for clan

u are talking what SQL.dll may crash the server?

No taking out the SQL.DLL will make it easier to setup, because then you can just run ODBC's to connect to the data source. However doing this is rather rigging the server to connect to the data source, and you are not using the original meant way to connect to the data source. It can cause a loss of data transfer, and possibly at times a unreliable connection to the server's database.

ty for help
im using my server only for me
=)
127.0.0.1

Yea I meant without the SQL.dll it can be unstable.

lol ok so i get conn failed so i just take it out and it'll let me connect?:jester:

It should.

ok ill tell dad to do that thanks for help we get conn failed all time:jester:

wats name of sql.dll i found 2 delete both?

Only delete the one named "SQL.dll" exactly, deleting any other Dll's may cause your server to work improperly.

but icant find the SQL.dll where would it be loacated?

In the PT server folder, if you don't have SQL.dll then don't worry about taking care of it.

but we dont have and still gives us conn failed

Are you sure your using the correct client for the server files your running?

do we start it with the admin client?
